W8970 VPN problem
2014-01-26 18:11:45
Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TD-W8970

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP : BT


I have "Private Internet Access" account, which worked well using my BT homehub, but due to port forwarding issues, I decided to upgrade to the W8970. The issue I have is when I connect to the PIA VPN, I lose most of the connections.
I can no longer browse most sites, this is on all my machines, the PIA VPN kills all traffic on my Synology NAS drive ?
Is there a setting I'm missing within the config files ?
The reason I'm not blaming all the issues on the VPN, is that some sites come through ok but slowly, so that has me confused.
Any ideas out there guys ?

If the W8970 is not suitable for this please let me know a decent modem router that can do VPN and cope well with port forwarding.

Thanks

Do you have latest firmware on the router?

connect to the PIA VPN,

Sorry I don't know this VPN, maybe you have to ask support PIA VPN about details configuration?

just to let you know that I sorted it out. I reset to factory defaults, and then just put in my broadband details, and it worked first time.
I'm not touching any other settings ever again. :)
