General DNS & Domains Dyn Email Update Clients Dyn Developer

I've been using DynDNS in my Linksys WRT54GL (original firmware v4.30.11) for a long time. All of a sudden, a few days ago it stopped updating DynDNS; status says "Strange server response, are you connecting to the right server?".

I haven't touched anything in the router, network or DynDNS account config, so it's a case of "just stopped working". Looks like DynDNS changed anything on its side.

Any ideas about how to solve this?

Fortunately, this problem went away after powering up and down the router and the ADSL modem (since I did it simultaneously I don't know which solved the issue, but it was quite likely the router)

Take a look here. Amongst other possible causes is an incorrect date and time on your Linksys.

Date and time are fine. I'm somewhat reluctant to upgrade the firmware just for this - did DynDNS change anything they plan to roll back, or am I just out of luck?

Please don't use comments - comment notification isn't reliable.

I've no idea about DynDNS's business - this is a user to user forum. If they had made any meaningful changes many others would be posting. The fact too that this error has been reported for some 5 years suggests it's not related to a recent change. Unfortunately without knowing the actual return code I can't suggest much more.

You may also want to contact DynDNS support and ask for assistance.
