Cannot connect with VPN server (PPTP protocol) through Netgear R6400 - error 806
Hi. I recently switched from an old TPLink router and bought a Netgear R6400 wifi router with hopes to boost my home wifi performance. Before that I easily could connect through my work VPN connection over PPTP. After switching to Netgear I have all the time error 806 (no support for GRE protocol). I read some info about that and decided to set up the port forwarding: I choose my laptop IP address and set external and internal ports on 1723. I also checked on the Respond to Ping on Internet Port. Later on I also set up the Default DMZ Server on my laptop IP address. Still - I cannot connect with my VPN connection that was working previously and I know it works fine in different enviroment. Beside that - I have in my office all setups on DHCP and working on static IP isn`t the best solution either. Right now I`m wondering what I`m doing wrong? Or maybe I should be dissapointed with Netgear for not supporting typical VPN pass-through? Please help and point me some directions. My current firmware is: V1.0.1.22_1.0.17Solved
