Hi both, I am having the same issue with my RT-N56U too. I am on Time Home Fibre and I have a DynDNS hostname tied to my dynamic IP. I can access my Download Master web app from outside my home network, but connecting to the VPN server has never been successful. I have tried to initiate a PPTP connection from my Win7 laptop, my iOS7 tablet and even my 4.4.2 Android phone - no joy.

However, previously I was on another firmware version, a newer version which was taken offline by Asus recently. When that firmware was active, my VPN server was ok.

Current firmware (problem with VPN server feature) = 3.0.0.4.374.979
Previous latest firmware (VPN server feature OK) = 3.0.0.4.374.2078 (no longer on Asus Support website)

kmrdeva & dimenxion , may i know where are you guys dialing from?
Home VPN : Unifi / streamyx
Mobile : Maxis 3G , this will not work on PPTP. Have to use OpenVPN

Home VPN : Time Fibre Home
Mobile : Maxis 3G, Streamyx, Digi 3G

The thing is, on the latest greatest firmware version which was taken offline by Asus, the VPN server functioned fine.

Thank you

Noted with thanks.

i downloaded the latest version when i first bought N-56U. so it's the latest version as per asus website

yes... i am fully aware it will not work with maxis 3G. what i can tell, if i connect to the VPN as test from the local network of my home, vpn will connect, once i tried when i'm outside, it never connect. I am working in carrier network so basically i had tested this at least on 4 different connection and all of them cant connect.

What products by asus that work similarly like aztech homeplug? If i need lan network for my downstairs iptv by tmnet to watch tv channels

Hi ASUSmy,

Just want to double check if RT-N14U support Maxis Fibre or not? WIll it be able to work with multiple HDD if I connect a powered USB hub into its USB port?

Thanks in advance.

Hi hackwire,

Currently we didn't bring in any homeplug in Malaysia.

Thank you

Is there any similarity to this ? You do have those wifi dual band repeater ? Can it work for extending the wifi to downstairs and have a lan cable connects to IPTV lan for connection? Pls recommend me if there's any. And Im planning for a full upgrade to Asus products. Hopefully , i can install everything by asus for compatibility purposes and standardizing it. Tq

Hi hackwire,

Currently we don't have any wireless solution for IPTV yet.

Thank you

Hi Mad_Mac,

Yes, you may use USB HUB. And it can support until 6 ports only.

Thank you

Awesome. It works with Maxis Fibre as well right?

Thanks again for replying mate. Much appreciated

Hi Mad_Mac,

Yes it work with Maxis Fibre also but not Maxis ASTRO IPTV. We unable to support it yet.

Thank you

Hi kmrdeva,

Can you send me your setting file of the router? I will PM you my e-mail address.

Thank you

Oh, just replied your PM without seeing your request above. I can only send you my settings file tonight once I get home.

If you want, I can pass u a public dropbox link to the latest firmware FW_RT_N56U_30043742078.zip that is no longer available on Asus support web page. I managed to download and use it some weeks back.

Hi kmrdeva,

Ok, and you can keep the firmware first as I also got ask my RD about this firmware and they have removed, not sure why but they said there should be no problem with VPN with the current firmware.

Thank you

my vpn is connected now after i did config change as proposed by ASUS team

Care to share the changes proposed and made?
