Netgear Orbi VPN Woes

I'm trying to get the VPN working through the  RBR50, have configured the VPN through the netgear interface and then downloaded the Windows config file.

 

I have the OpenVPN client running on Windows 10, when I try to connect I get in the Logs, "Enter management Password",,  not sure what this is?

    Hi Virtech

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

     

    - Do you have the latest firmware version (2.3.1.60)? If not, I suggest to update the firmware. 

    - What version is the OpenVPN client used? 

    - Are you using a Static IP for your router or Dynamic IP?

     

    Regards,

      Hi to answer your questions below:

       

      - Do you have the latest firmware version (2.3.1.60)? Yes it installed

      - What version is the OpenVPN client used?  2.4.7

      - Are you using a Static IP for your router or Dynamic IP? Static

       

      The Orbi VPN is pretty much useless, I was connected at once stage using a previous firmware version but it was so slow it was unusable.
