XR500 VPN Service.. a joke?
I recently discovered that my XR500 has the ability to act as a VPN server (I've long used the Hybrid VPN section) and decided it would be an excellent way to SSH into my pentesting box without havin...
You may be better off creating a ticket with NG directly here: http://support.netgear.com/ as it isn't a feature we have created. As such I can only provide limited answers. Regarding the Device Manager the devices aren't shown because the router cannot control them, it shows what devices are directly connected. You definitely shouldn't have had to disable QoS, as far as I'm aware you only need DDNS enabled to use that feature.
Is this not the Netgear community site? Is it not a feature included in the Netgear routers?
Also, what do you mean the router cannot control them? Are you telling me this XR500 is running an unmanaged unmonitored VPN server on it? Who let that past security?
and you absolutely have to disable QoS. It's been mentioned and recommended... quite literally by YOU. How do you not remember this?

It's apparently so bad that even tomsguide recommends disabling it

I work for Netduma who created the DumaOS portion of the software. Yes but I suggested the ticket as Netgear representatives do not often reply to support here so you'd be better able to receive assistance by creating a ticket.
I'd just going on what I think is happening and I don't think it controls those devices if it's not directly connected, I may be wrong. That was a suggestion to see if it helped, not a concrete answer, I didn't get a response either so wasn't aware if it worked or not.
The tomsguide link doesn't relate to the DumaOS software so I couldn't comment on that as it's not the same software being used.
