Specify VPN Service in the Router
You must specify the VPN service settings in the router before you can use a VPN
connection.
To specify the VPN service:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VPN Service.
5.
Select the Enable VPN Service check box.
By default, the VPN uses the UDP service type and uses port 12974. If you want to
customize the service type and port, NETGEAR recommends that you change these
settings before you install the OpenVPN software.
6.
To change the service type, scroll down and select the TCP radio button.
7.
To change the port, scroll down to the Service Port field, and type the port number that you
want to use.
8.
Click the Apply button.
Your changes are saved. VPN is enabled in the router, but you must install and set up
OpenVPN software on your computer before you can use a VPN connection.
