Strange requirement for VPN activation
Hi - I purchased Orbi mostly because of the VPN functionality. But right now I am not able to use it! I have a static IP address from my ISP, but it is required that I "Get dynamically from ISP". ...
Does Netgear ever officially comment in the Forum? They should explain themselves regarding this issue.....
Well, I opend a ticket regarding this issue, the answer wasn't very satisfying.
They just told me it's not possible, I need DynDNS if don't have a static IP, I should look into https://kb.netgear.com/23944/I-have-a-Nighthawk-router-what-is-Dynamic-DNS-and-why-should-I-set-up-a-free-Dynamic-DNS-account why I need DynDNS.
The only thing I want is the reason, why this restriction was implemented in the first place (and maybe someone that removes this restriction :P ).
Would be great if someone could give me an answer to this.
