Enable and configure OpenVPN and VPN
client access on the AP [router mode]
If the AP is in router mode, you can configure OpenVPN and VPN client access on the
AP.
You must enable OpenVPN and specify the OpenVPN service settings on the AP before
remote clients can access the AP with a VPN connection using OpenVPN software.
Note: Make sure that remote clients install their VPN configuration files after you
configure OpenVPN on the AP. If you make changes to the OpenVPN configuration on
the AP, 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 AP:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to a WiFi
network or LAN port on the AP.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Find the IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 32.
3. Enter the AP 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.
5. Select the Enable VPN Service check box.
We recommend that you use the default TUN mode and TAP mode settings. However,
if you know that you need other settings, you can change the TUN mode and TAP
mode settings by doing the following:
• To change the TUN mode service type, select the UDP or TCP radio button
• To change the TUN mode service port, type the port number that you want to
use in the field.
The default port number is 12973.
