RBRE 960 And Open VPN
I just installed the new ORBI E960. The ORBI is connected to a XFINITY Modem in Bridge Mode. We set up the E960 for Open VPN by turning Dynamic DNS On and then follow the setiings in VPN section. ...
After months of trying to solve this problem taking help of Orbi Pro Support at NETGEAR (which I have paid for and subscribed) this issue still is not solved.
Netgear High Level support now tells me that I need to set up my Orbi 960E Router IP from 198.168.1.1 to 198.168.100.1
Unfortunately, changing the IP to this will not be possible as it will disrupt address reservations of many crucial controls such as Crestron - I have over 90 active IP's at any time in the home and almost 147 registered.
I am loving the Orbi 960E especially recently after lowering the 2.4Ghz Radio Power to 50% on advice from FURRYe38 .... always devices are counting perfectly and I have super fast wifi all over the home.
The main purpose I need OPEN VPN is so that my Crestron Programmer can VPN in the home and program and troubleshoot devices. He needs two run the Crestron program on his PC and we cannot use Team View or such a project.
The programmer lives 1500 miles away so a trip to my home is super expensive and I need two have some VPN capability on my ORBI.
I got Bitfinder VPN with NETGEAR Armor but that does not help as its is only for going out of the system.
I need a true VPN - either Open VPN to work or something else I can buy to solve my Issue and will appreciate any help since NETGEAR Pro Support is unable to help and this solution will make my ORBI 960E Perfect.
