EX7000 VPN Passthrough

I'm trying to get mystery DD-WRT router working as a VPN client with ExpressVPN, but not having success. Im trying to rule out the EX7000 extender that it is plugged into. (The EX7000 is hardwired to my Rogers CGN4 modem router in another room.)

How can I confirm that VPN Passthrough is enabled on the EX7000? I can't find any options in the mywifiext.net interface.

Thx

  • Thanks! I'm going to connect directly to the router and test that way. I was just lost trying to find the vpn passthrough on the Nighthawk. Cheers.

      Since it's an extender, (extending wifi), it shouldn't care what type of data is flowing through it. Since you are running 3rd party firmware, who knows... Take the EX7000 out of the mix, and try connected to the Hitron.
