- I worked with Netgear tech support a few weeks ago on this. The problem is solved. Apparently, the configuration file was bad on the particular revision of Orbi firmware I was using. I had updated the firmware but not the configuration file. Tech support suggested replacing the Open VPN configuration file. When I did that it started working.
I had the same issue and fought with it for a few days. Turns out the path where I was saving my downloaded unzipped Windows config files per the instructions was not the path my OpenVPN installation defaulted to. Under the Advanced tab in OpenVPN GUI settings, make sure it is pointed to the folder where you dropped the config files. As soon as I fixed that, mine connected right up, I could print, remote desktop, ping, etc. as advertised.
