To clarify
my cable modem is a Motorola SB6183
I have NEVER made any changes to this modem.
This modem and router have never had an issue, but I was wondering if something is interfering with my router when setting up the VPN.
I didn't change anything on the modem.
I was just asking if that was something you recommend (put the modem into bridge mode)
- I am unsure if the firewall from the modem could be interfere with my router when I attempt to enable a VPN connection.
I have never put my modem into bridge mode, so I know the modem must have a router enabled. Is this making any problems? If not I'm not going to change the modem's setup.

Ok Yorgi thanks again for your help, I am very appreciative.
I noticed you changed some of the settings on your recently attached pics from your last tutoruial
these may be minor changes but can you please explain why you have these settings now
ex1 is now UDP
Accept DNS Configuration now...
I deleted the post where I said I changed it to port 1196 because the VPN doesn;t connect when on that port setting.
It connects when on port 443 but I'm getting speed of 15mbps
What are your thoughts? What are the preferred ports and Why?
Is 1196 a port that should connect?
I changed the port to 443 and it's now connecting!
Bt damn my internet speed is really slow
before I had a speed of 90mbps
now getting 1.84 on the east coast server...
What is wrong?
Ok Yorgi I was able to copy and paste the contents of the .crt file...
But I am not able to get a connection to the VPN. It just is stuck on connecting

I reset my router and am still having the same issues... the internet connection drops whenever I enable the VPN...
Should I try another VPN point or flash merlin?
I'll wait for your advice.
Yorgi thank you for the help.
After following your directions I was able to add a VPN connection with a confirmation of connection within the router....
However when this connection is enabled - None of my devices connected to my router can access the internet.

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum but have been referred here by a helpful friend from Slickdeals.
My router is an Asus RT-AC68U with the latest stock firmware.
I have tried to setup my PIA account for VPN access from my router but am now stuck.
I have also gone to tech support at PIA...
