Orbi VPN Client
I think this is a needed feature in Orbi line up is the ability to do VPN CLIENT. Given that Rep have sold us out to ISP. A VPN client on router is prefer. Orbi already have a VPN server why not p...
I just ordered the orbi 2 days ago, thinking it must have a VPN client option at that price range.... Should of done a little more re search.
Anyways I made an account just to let the Netgear devs know that this is a much wanted feature. I really hope someday they release a firmware the enables VPN clients directly through the router. I heard really great things about the Orbi, but not having a VPN client feature is just a let down.
I just received my SRR60/SRS60 combo. I chose it because it claimed to do VPN. Obviously I didn't do enough research because OpenVPN rejects the certificates as being too weak. I thought there must be a workaround by now, but alas I can't find anything. Can anyone point me to the fix, otherwise this is going back to Amazon along with an appropriate review.
P.S. Why cannot I not put SRS60 into the Model field on this form?
As with other posters, I was fooled by the claim that Orbi offered full VPN support. It does not, and to blame this on a weak processor at this price point is annoying. While I can install a client on some of my devices, I am limited to 6 clients, which is insufficient for my needs, and will in any case leave some devices exposed as they cannot support VPN clients. I am disappointed that Netgear falls short.
