Enable and configure OpenVPN and VPN
client access on the access point [router
mode]
If the access point is in router mode, you can configure OpenVPN and VPN client access
on the access point.
You must enable OpenVPN and specify the OpenVPN service settings on the access
point before remote clients can access the access point with a VPN connection using
OpenVPN software.
Note: Make sure that remote clients install their VPN configuration files after you
configure OpenVPN on the access point. If you make changes to the OpenVPN
configuration on the access point, the VPN configuration files that the remote clients
use might change, requiring the remote clients to download and install the new VPN
configuration files.
To enable and configure OpenVPN on the access point:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
2. Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.
3. Enter the access point local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VPN Service.
The VPN Service page displays.
