You should be able to directly enter the username and password on the webui. The only time where you might need to use their manual procedure for that step is if your password contains some weird characters (like %, &, etc...)

372_beta3

Hi,

Sorry if I hijack this post...

Just bought myself a new RT-AC66u, flashed the router with beta3 firmware.

I have success in connecting to VyprVPN using OpenVPN, the PC and MAc that I tested on confirmed that VPN is working, but I have problem with my xbox 360, it failed always with "mtu error".

This is what I did -

Followed the instructions listed over by OP, but in "Custom Configuration" I have

persist-key
persist-tun
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
mssfix 1450
comp-lzo adaptive
verb 1
reneg-sec 0

Why oh why Xbox failed its own network tests. Can someone help me fixing this MTU error?

Thanks in advance.

Have posted the same question on "VPN" section of the forum and got no answer.

Seems that it is not possible to have xbox connected through VPN on this router or any router for that matter.

With OpenVPN client in the off state the xbox connected to xbox live without any problem.
