VPN Setup on Netgear Router - HELP
I would like to setup a VPN connection through PIA on my Netgear router (Model listed as C7000-100NAS), but I think it's the same or a version of the AC1900 Netgear Nighthawk. All the documents I see, instruct you to go to onto the Netgear Genie console and enable the VPN connection under Advanced, Advanced Settings, VPN. I don't have a VPN option under advanced settings. I bought the router from Amazon, so not through ISP (which is TWC), but not sure if they can disable features or something. Very confused. Have anyone else come across this?

So, is it or not?

As pointed out by another person here it says you do on your FAQ.
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29322/~/c7000-product-faqs
Why do I not have this option? I own a C7000-100NAS modem/router.

Re: VPN Setup on Netgear Router - HELP
Hello everyone
VPN Passthrough is a feature of routers which allows computers on a private network to establish outbound VPNs unhindered. VPN passthrough has nothing to do with inbound VPNs, only outbound ones. The term comes from allowing the VPN traffic to “passthrough” the router. NO ports need opening to enable VPN passthrough, it will automatically work.
So the C7000 does not have specific settings to set up a VPN.

Re: VPN Setup on Netgear Router - HELP
Why is there no option? Is it just something that physically can't be done or was it just never set up? Just wondering if an update would ever come to allow this because it does seem to be a pretty commonly requested feature and it is available on the other netgear ac routers. Quite unfortunate it wouldn't be on this one too.

Re: VPN Setup on Netgear Router - HELP
ok, I'm way late to this conversation but I just connected this c7000 and was surprised that there is no VPN setup - so let me just be sure I have this straight before I send it back. The VPN I have installed in my PC will work ok, but if I want to use a VPN for my Amazon Fire TV, there's no way to do that because the router doesn't let you set up a VPN - is that correct?

Re: VPN Setup on Netgear Router - HELP
thanks, I returned it yesterday and got an ASUS router and separate Arris modem. I made sure the router allowed VPN this time.

Re: VPN Setup on Netgear Router - HELP
So in your opinon, your new setp up with ASUS router and ARRIS modem will work the internet provider you have? I have TWC/Spectrum. Not sure who you have.
