    Hi Sozzled,

    There was a VPN pass through issue reported previously (Windows VPN client could not connect to the corporate server in the remote), and we have fixed the issue for that customer. I will PM you the link for the trial firmware, would you like to give it a try?

I've just purchased an RS700 for Wifi 7 and am seeing the same thing. I connect to my office server via vpn using a windows-configured vpn on my laptop. The RS700 gives me an error but I can still connect even with a mobile hotspot or other networks.

Cant find any tech support at netgear to help with this, they plead ignorance.

Appreciate anyone who can offer a potential solution...I've tried all of the settings that even vaguely sound like they may help.
