Netgear Orbi VPN Woes

I'm trying to get the VPN working through the  RBR50, have configured the VPN through the netgear interface and then downloaded the Windows config file.

 

I have the OpenVPN client running on Windows 10, when I try to connect I get in the Logs, "Enter management Password",,  not sure what this is? 

Model: RBR50|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi Router

Re: Netgear Orbi VPN Woes

Hi @Virtech

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

 

- Do you have the latest firmware version (2.3.1.60)? If not, I suggest to update the firmware. 

- What version is the OpenVPN client used? 

- Are you using a Static IP for your router or Dynamic IP?

 

Regards,

Re: Netgear Orbi VPN Woes

Hi to answer your questions below:

 

- Do you have the latest firmware version (2.3.1.60)? Yes it installed

- What version is the OpenVPN client used?  2.4.7

- Are you using a Static IP for your router or Dynamic IP? Static

 

The Orbi VPN is pretty much useless, I was connected at once stage using a previous firmware version but it was so slow it was unusable.
