N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3700
To check the VPN connection, you can initiate a request from the remote PC to the
wireless modem router's network by using the Connect option in the NETGEAR ProSafe
menu bar. The NETGEAR ProSafe client reports the results of the attempt to connect.
Since the remote PC has a dynamically assigned WAN IP address, it has to initiate the
request.
To perform a ping test using our example, start from the remote PC:
a. Establish an Internet connection from the PC.
b. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then select Run.
c. Type ping -t 192.168.3.1, and then click OK.
This causes a continuous ping to be sent to the first wireless modem router. After
between several seconds and 2 minutes, the ping response should change from
timed out to reply.
Once the connection is established, you can open a browser on the PC and enter the
LAN IP address of the remote gateway. After a short wait, you should see the login
screen of the wireless modem router (unless another PC is already logged in to the
wireless modem router).
You can view information about the progress and status of the VPN client connection by
opening the NETGEAR ProSafe Log Viewer.
