  @Muscovite No probs, shame it didnt work out for you.

 

Out of interest, which router have you gone for?

  @David-TP 

I have a Deco X-55 and have tried to set up the VPN client using ExpressVPN using the OpenVPN protocol. Unfortunately, even though it says "Connected", I am not reaping the benefits of using a VPN.

Can you help?

  @David-TP 

Hi David, thank you for your reply. I just sent you an email.

  @David-TP 

Does this fix the hanging issue? I have the X50 firmware 1.2.2. Build 2023031 Rel. 53300 and unit 2 and 3

hangs once in a while and I need to power cycle the unit. This is a hassle because you

 have to physically do the reset. Thanks

Hi Ian it's been pretty quiet for a week or so.

Has there been any forward progress on the VPN client issues?

Thanks,

Mark

Hello,

Is this SW available for Deco X90? Because I am planning on getting a 2.5G fiber connection.

Thank you,

Adrian

  @David-TP 

When is this going to be available for X50 PoE HW version 1.6?  Roughly speaking... this summer?  next year?

  @Mbauer5 Hi Mark, still waiting for a beta version to test. Mine is working fine using OpenVPN with a modified config file & debug firmware.

It did take many hours though to identify the issue make it work.

Hopefully we will see a beta version soon.

One thing I have noticed though, the VPN throughput is very slow, max throughput for me via the VPN tunnel is 20 Mbits which is a concern.

@Mbauer5 Hey Mark, I have just noticed there is a new firmware version here
