Site to Site tunnel working (only ping)
I have 2 BR200 routers and 2 locations I set up site to site IPsec vpn Tunnel is green I can ping IP's from either site back and forth I cannot however map drives to my server from remote site ...
take DNS out of the mix I am not able to map drives by IP at all, I think I included that in my first post
If i were to apply firmware you are suggesting I would want to rollback if it did not work would that be possible?
And when you say perfomacne would not be as good can please explain what you mean by that?
also as I was asked prior should I be creating a VPN group within insight manager so these routers can talk to eachother instead of the site to site tunnel I have built locally? what is the difference between the two?

Yes, it can be upgraded to the latest at any time.

The WAN to LAN speed would drop from 970Mbps to 400Mbps.

Insight VPN uses a proxy server to establish the connection and handle the routing between the two sites. IPSEC does not have a proxy to handle the routing and must be setup and established between both sites.
- I would like to go the proxy insight way how can I get this all set up it sounds like this would be the better way to go and would help with the mapped drive issues, I also would be adding another router as well, we currently have insight premiere support and if we can do it this way we would plan on paying for this service going forward so I assume I can call support and get this all setup? I saw a option to give support access to the routers also
As long as you have entitlements on the product for support, yes you can reach out to support to open a case. You can view the products entitlements under your my products section in MYNETGEAR.
Please send me the link for the 5.9 code for my BR200 I dont see it under downloads on main site
