Orbi IPSec VPN Pass-through

[cnkang]

I have another router behind the RBR50, which will establish an IPSec VPN tunnel to my company.

I did not find the way to enable IPSec VPN pass-through on Orbi RBR50.

is there a way to enable it? thanks!

Hi cnkang, 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

Orbi system should automatically allow VPN pass-through. Try adding the IP address of the router behind the Orbi router under the DMZ setting of the router. If it is not working, try connecting the device directly to the modem and check if that works.

If you are trying to run an IPSEC VPN router behind another router there are a couple things you need to do:

1) You need to set the router behind the Orbi as the initiator and your work router as the responder. Your work router cannot initiate the connection to your private address behind the Orbi.

2) You need to enable NAT traversal (NAT-T) in the IPSEC configurations on both VPN routers.
