VPN Places Client on Different Subnet

VPN Places Client on Different Subnet

My client (in this case an android phone) gets placed on a different subnet than my DHCP when VPN'd through the RBR50.

 

The RBR is +1 my ip from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.2.10

 

Is there a way to force the Orbi to place VPN'd clients onto the same subnet as the "home" subnet?

 

Any help or understanding here would be appreciated (screenshots would be super!)

 

Similiar issue to (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/RBR50-VPN-assigns-IP-address-to-different-subnet/m-p/1808539) however, there was no resolution there and I expect this to have the same underlying issue.

 

(This is causing some internal networking issues)

Re: VPN Places Client on Different Subnet

You can't change the VPN address range in the "original" Orbi (there is a workaround in the Orbi AX to change the subnet).

What issues do you have that you think are caused by the different subnets?

:'( That is a sad day.

 

It'll just require me to change iptables for a few different device to manage this exception.

 

I wonder if they'll encorporate that workaround into the OG Orbi.

 

Here is hoping!

 

Thanks for the update!!
