Hi Netgear community, One of our sites has a NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit Dual WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv3 which has PPTP Server enabled and setup with working users for Windows OS, there is 1 user that uses MAC OS. Since that 1 user upgraded their macOS to Sierra the option for PPTP has been removed (Apple reports the reason is for security). I have tried enabling SSLVPN in the firewall but have struggled to get that working. As a fallback, we are looking at 3rd party clients that can create the VPN using PPTP again. I've looked at some suggested clients (FlowVPN, VPN Tracker, user is trying TunnelBlick) but not getting very far. Ideally, we want a freeware that can do PPTP (unless there is a free SSLVPN option). Any suggestions or if you have got around this issue with macOS Sierra. Many thanks in advance.6.6KViews0likes10CommentsPrivate Time Machine not working on ReadyNas 102 - Sierra and Firmware 6.7.4
Hello, I have moved to a new home and changed the router. Everything worked fine since I have brought here my ReadyNas 102, connected via Ethernet to the router, and tried to backup my Mac again, also connected via Ethernet. It says "backup disk not avaible". In TimeMachine preferences, my private time machine has a red mark saying "Impossible to complete the backup. Make sure it is connected or choose another on." The ReadyNas has: -a static IP, -updated firmware, -I can access perfectly via frontview, -private time machine is enable, -I can access via Finder to the folders. -Oh, I can also see via Finder the timemachine sparsebundle, making the folder visible. I have tried rebooting, repairing permissions via Onyx, what else can I do? One thing I have noticed is that with the latest firmware it doesn't show me in Finder the different kind of connection, SMB or AFP, to connect to the NAS. It only shows me the name of the NAS and then connects. I don't know if It's relevant. Thanks.

I have a R6250 Smart WIFI Router (but the field above won't accept that as a valid entry. Odd, but irrelevant for now.) It's about 1 month out of warranty -- of course. I use an iMac running MacOS Sierra v10.12.2 The iMac is wired to the router. I do not run Kaspersky anti-virus software. A few days ago I got an email from NetGEAR saying there was a "Security Vulnerability" and that I should "download the production version of the firmware release to automatically install the R6250 firmware". I downloaded the zip file and unpacked it and am ready to go. But... The instructions say to browse to www.routerlogin.net. Like a lot of other people here on the board, I found that didn't work. I tried two different browsers and I also tried routerlogin.com and the usual IP address - 192.168.1.1 I think it is. I even looked at the IP address in System Info and tried that - 192.168.1.10 but that didn't work either. The error is "Unable to connect - Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at www.routerlogin.net." (It's wordedd slightly differently in Safari.) Any idea what to do now? If I can't connect, I can't upgrade the firmware, and I really would like to do that. Rob StevensonSolved4KViews0likes2CommentsMacOS Sierra and ReadyNAS NV+ cannot find each other
Since upgrading my late 2009 iMac to Sierra, the connection to my beloved ReadyNAS keeping dropping off or will not connect at all. I can find the NAS via RAIDar and can also access media files via Apple TV ver 1 device (XBMC media player). I can 'see' the NAS via the browser URL. The NAS also appears in Finder in the 'Shared' section (NAS, AFP, CIFS options) however none of them gives me access to the files. Same issue when attempting to access NAS with MacBook Air (also upgraded to Sierra). I had none of these issues with the previus MacOS version. This is really really frustrating. Any advise would be most appreciated. I would hate to dump this great NAS because of what might be a trivial issue. HELP!! Many thanks.2.8KViews0likes1CommentHow do I install drivers on macOS (Sierra) for AC340U?
New driver came out today! And for the macOS Sierra (we don't call it Mac OSX anymore). http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26983/(Opens%20in%20new%20window)~/aircard-340u-(at%26t-beam)-downloads-and-documentation?cid=wmt_netgear_organic Since I've upgrade (and later fresh-installed) macOS on my Macbook Pro, the AT&T NetBeam/NetGear AirCard 340U has been rendered disabled. Recognized by the macOS, yes, at USB-level. But the drivers refuse to interact with it. With this NEW driver, I downloaded it. I'm puzzled. It is a zip file. With a 'Contents' folder. And a 'Resources' folder inside that. What is the installation procedure for incorporating this latest and greatest driver into macOS?Solved
