I have an Asus RT-AC88U Router configured with Asuswrt-Merlin ver 384.18. The LAN address of the router is 192.168.133.1.

I have configured the LAN DHCP Server of the router with WINS address 192.168.133.21. I then configured the router's PPTP Server with "Connect to WINS Server Automatically" = YES. When I establish a PPTP VPN connection from my Windows 10 laptop to the router the WINS Server address for the VPN tunnel is set to 192.168.133.1, instead of 192.168.133.21.

Why is the PPTP tunnel not setup with the correct WINS address? How can I fix this?
 
You could change Connect to WINS Server automatically to No and then you can manually enter 192.168.133.21 as the address.
