Nighthawk m1 can not activate vpn

Hello,

i can not activate my vpn function on my netgear nighthawk m1 mobile router like advertised at page 36 @

https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/MR1100/MR1100_UM_EN.pdf

 

Firmware: NTG9X50C_12.06.39.00

 

The page has only:

- VPN Passthrough

- UPnP

- DLNA

- DMZ

 

Please send me a firmware to activate this function or give me my money back, cause i am not interested in a half products.
 
REGARDS,

      The device doesn't have VPN server. So you don't need to cnfigure the VPN. VPN passthrough is for VPN outgoing. For incoming VPN connection, you need to make sure your SIM subscription has VPN service. Most of North american carriers don't allow incoming VPN connection unless you have the extra subscription.

      Thanks
