Nighthawk XR500. cannot use VPN Server for remote login
Hi, I found that whenever I try to activate the OpenVPN server, I lose internet connection. Without this checkbox, all works perfectly fine. I would like to use the OpenVPN for remote login i...
I would assume this is because you have them both on the same subnet. Change the Fritzbox on its interface to 192.168.0.1 and then update that in the XR500 and try again please.
Just for clrification here again the IP settings:
Fritzbox router address: 192.168.1.1
XR500 incoming WAN port: 192.168.1.2 (this was set this way to be in the same subnet as the Fritzbox and also to separate the subnets and router addresses of the Fritzbox and the XR500)
XR500 local router address: 192.168.0.1
This means that currently I can also access the Fritzbox settings and alike through the 192.168.1.1 address from my local LAN.
Setting the Fritzbox address to 192.168.0.1 would disable access to the Fritzbox settings as it would have the same address as the XR500, meaning that I would always access the XR500, correct?
