Hi Daniel,
I am not a Post sales support expert, but will offer a suggestion.
If the current problem is a issue with 1.17 software, then why not upgrade to the latest firmware WRV210_2.0.0.11.img.
After the software upgrade, reset the unit to factory defaults, via software GUI or via the reset button.
Or has your manipulation of the bin configuration file ruined the machine .
Also i noticed a change to DDNS which may be affecting you, they left a message for me that stated.
"Changes To Dynamic DNS Service
Hope this helps
regards Dave

Dave,
Thanks for your reply.
I did your suggestion: upgraded to firmware ver 2, restored factory
defaults, then entered the DDNS settings, but the DDNS status remains
DISABLED. It shows the DDNS settings, my IP address, but DDNS status
DISABLED..
I read 3 forum articles about DDNS problem:
#1- on WRV54G router, the DDNS status remains disabled. (Linksys replaced
the unit, but same problem)
#2 - on WRV54G router, someone discovered that if the router had an
existing configuration, DDNS
could not be changed. Problem solved by factory reset
#3 problem solved by saving config, editing in notepad, then restoring.
(I will include these forum articles below.)
In my case, with my WRV210 router, because config file is .BIN, it can´t be
edited in notepad.
So I did not even think of trying that idea.
I do have a config file I saved early after the purchase, I restore it, and
the DDNS status is ENABLED. But the user name, etc is wrong (it was at early
stages of learning, and I did not fill in the correct user name, host
name,etc). So I need to change it. When I save changes, status becomes
DISABLED again.
My only thought is to ask someone with a new WRV210 which has never been
configured with DDNS to send me a config file, and try loading that into my
router, and try to change the DDNS settings.
This problem I have with both of my routers (I bought 2 routers, both
WRV210)
Please let me know any suggestions, I appreciate the help.

WRV54G DDNS Disabled!!!!!
Does anyone else have the same problem I am encountering? Look
under the setup, DDNS tab where your dyndns info is and find that
the Status of the DDNS is disabled? Linksys sent me a second unit
and both of them have the same problem. Linksys swears they haven't
heard of this problem before.

DDNS Disabled
While trying to change a DDNS identity on a clients WRV54G the
status always appeared as DDNS is Disabled, indicating that the
router was not communicating with the DDNS server.
I found that if the router had an existing configuration, DDNS
could not be changed.
Fix was to reset router to Factory Settings and configure DDNS as
first step. When saved , Status came up as DDNS is Enabled -
working OK.
All other settings were restored manually.

Dear Dave,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I found the problem, I log in to DYNDNS.ORG with my username, but my actual
DYNDNS account has another name. Something I did not realize when setting up
the DYNDNS account, as it was my first time. (stupid me!)
The problem was that I was using the wrong name in DDNS setup, and the
router was not logging in OK to the DYNDNS. That is why the DDNS was always
disabled.
Now is working OK.
Thanks for taking time to help me find the answer.
I am now using the firmware ver 2, and all is well.
best regards,
Daniel
