Then router lets you use a VPN connection to access your own Internet service when you are away from
home.You might want to do this if you travel to a geographic location that does not support all the Internet
services that you use at home. For example, your Netflix account might work at home but not in a different
country.
Allow VPN Client Internet Access in the Router
By default, VPN service in the router uses the Auto option, which lets the router use an automatic detection
system that enables VPN access only for necessary services and sites and might not include full Internet
access.You can change the settings to allow access to your home network and the Internet. Accessing the
Internet remotely through a VPN might be slower than accessing the Internet directly.
To allow VPN clients to use your home Internet service:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin.The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select Settings > Advanced Settings > VPN Service.
The VPN Service page displays.
5. If you did not yet enable VPN service, select the Enable VPN Service check box and click the Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.
For information about the advanced configuration options on this page, see Specify VPN Service in the
Router on page 152.
6. Scroll down to the Clients will use this VPN connection to access section, and select the All sites on
the Internet & Home Network radio button.
When you access the Internet with the VPN connection, instead of using a local Internet service, you
use the Internet service from your home network only.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
