How to use DynDNS Protocol to Replace OpenDNS Updater on TL-WR740N

In my home I have a router of TP-Link TL-WR740N.

I have different os on my PC and  different mobiles connected to it.

My ISP uses PPPoE method to connect me to internet. Hence each time i get a dynamic ip address.

Now my question is this router support URL update method who's links (https://support.opendns.com/entries/22990595-Using-DynDNS-Protocol-to-Replace-OpenDNS-Updater) I have found here.

If the answer is no, than how can i send updates to opendns without using a client updater. I don't want to install this clients over all of my OS(s), mobiles, etc  and it is also not feasible for me.

Can any any body help me out thanks for help in advance.

Well, if your router's DDNS feature supported at least one of OpenDNS, DNS-O-Matic or "user defined", then you could update OpenDNS with it, else not.

According to http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/TL-WR740N.html?direct#specifications your TP-Link TL-WR740N supports "DynDns, Comexe, NO-IP" which are different services from the ones I listed, so no, you cannot update OpenDNS with this firmware version.

However, https://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database shows that you can flash your router with the alternative firmware DD-WRT, maybe with other alternative firmwares as well.  If you do this, you can update OpenDNS with it.
