VPN Setup

Hello, all. 

 

Struggling to get my new McAfee VPN service connected to my home's wifi router. Nighthawk R7850 

Can someone please provide the steps to successfully connect my McAfee VPN service to the wifi router?

 

Bonus if you can tell me how to connect my XBox1 to the VPN!

 

Thanks!

    That is really down to McAfee. It provides the software, firmware or however the VPN works.

     

    If McAfee tells you to do things to the router that you don't understand, by all means ask for help here. Or read the manual for your router.

     

    Manuals are always a good place to start.

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
