Can't connect to Internet when on my work's VPN
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi guys
I have installed a Deco M5 3x units with the main unit connected directly to my Virgin Media (UK ISP) router/modem via Ethernet.
All seems to work OK, except that whenever I am connected to my work's VPN, I cannot seem to access the Internet.
My work's VPN system is called Pulse Connect (if that helps).
I don't have access point set up. Just plugged straight into my router and my the other 2 M5s around the flat.
Thanks
N

Hi,
Did you say that once the client connected to the Pulse Connect VPN, the device itself would lose the internet connection, right?
How about the Deco units and are they still solid green and working well?
What is the device that needs to connect the Pulse Connect VPN, and did it work well with another network system?
Would disconnecting the Pulse Connect VPN restore the internet connection immediately?
Thank you.

Hi - yeah, the Deco m5 (all of them) remain solid green. It's only this one device that loses Internet connection when the work vpn is switched on via the desktop app. And ONLY that devices loses Internet. The device in question is a Windows Dell Latitude laptop.
Internet DOES work as normal when the vpn is ON when connected to other networks, like 4G hotspot, or restaurant/cafe WiFi etc.

Hi, could you please check the IP settings on the desktop and ping the Lan IP of Deco when it lost the internet connection:

@Nkol7 Right-click the VPN connection that you want to change, and then select Properties. Select the Networking tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the Components checked are used by this connection list, and then select Properties. Select Advanced, and then clear the Use default gateway on remote network check box.
