R7000P + VPN: accessing router config page
Finally managed to get the VPN with a windows client working, however, when the client is connect and I am trying to access 192.168.1.1 I get the REMOTE (Client) router, NOT my local router.
Is this to be expected or is there something wrong with my setup? Best solution is to change the remote routers IP? how do I ensure that the remote router does not have an IP that already has been assigned by my local router to another machine?
thanks vm
Hi chris_st,
It is normal that when the client is connected to the VPN, you can access the Remote router. This is because you are connected to the network of the remote router. If you want to access the local router, disconnect from the VPN.
