When will the R7800 support Android and iOS tablets and phones. Seems odd to me that the newest model is missing key features that the older models currently support.

@robkevwitch What's the firmware version of your router?
The OpenVPN support was added on firmware version 1.0.1.28.
If you have the latest firmware, you should be able to use OpenVPN for iOS and Android.
See this link on how to configure OpenVPN for Android and this link for iOS.

Re: R7800 VPN Access
Hi robkevwitch,
For now the router that supports Android and iOS for OpenVPN is R7000 and other models will be available on future FW releases including the R7800.

Re: R7800 VPN Access
I think the confusion is that on this page: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R7800.aspx#tab-techspecs it clearly states:
- Now with OpenVPN Connect app on iOS and Android, securely access your home network from your mobile device.
This seems to indicate that is is a currently available feature, when clearly it is not.

Re: R7800 VPN Access
This doesn't really answer the question because, at least to my knowledge, VPN still isn't available for Android and iOS. I would still like to see VPN for both mobile options as previous models have had.
