VPN configuration for Android and FVS318gv2

Can someone please provde complete setup instructions for both the router and android phone.  I have pured through coutless threads, posted solutions and nothing works.  The document "how to setup ipsec vn between a netgear prosafe vpn firewall and android device" was close but had inconsisitencies and didnt work.

 

I'd like to use the native Android client and have Android version 6.0.1

My FVS318gv2 has the latest FW ver 4.3.4-1

    Hello RobSCyS, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    We do not have an official KB for connecting our firewalls to an android device using VPN. We have a specific VPN client software that is meant for Windows devices only. Please refer to this link and see if the suggestions would work for you. 

     

    Thanks,
