ZyXEL Dynamic DNS

A user recently contacted us for help in configuring a ZyXEL Speedlink device to work with Now-IP.

Because we use email addresses as usernames you need to change the @ in your email address to %40. So the Server-Address line bedomes something like this;

https://email_address%40gmail.com:password@now-dns.com/update?hostname=

This trick worked well for the speedlink 5501.
