[Solved] Setup dual routers with one dedicated for VPN

Leave that alone for the time being. That's not the problem we're trying to fix at the moment.


Can you ping the printer by name? e.g. ping BrotherL2740DW4
If not configure the port settings to use the IP address (192.168.1.10) instead of a name.

Can you print or use the PC's ControlCenter utility when the VPN client on the AC3100 is turned off?

No and No :-(

Have you changed to port settings to use the IP address?

Have you changed to port settings to use the IP address?

Thank you for your suggestion. Everything worked after I added new printer/scanner using the IP address

Also, the AES-128-GCM cipher should give you the best performance.

Hi @Xentrk! Is that correct that I set "AES-128-GCM" in "Legacy/fallback cipher" box

I saw your post about "Redirect Internet traffic" setting in OpenVPN Client configuration in other thread
Should I set the source IP 192.168.2.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 based on my current setup below? Is there any further modification to the current OpenVPN settings that I should change? Thank you!

1. Main router: AC68U, Merlin 384.14, connected to the modem, 192.168.1.xxx. The printer is connected to this router via WiFi with a static IP 192.168.1.10. Printing on this subnet is fine.
2. VPN router: AC3100, Merlin 384.14, WAN port connected to AC68U LAN port, different subnet 192.168.2.xxx. It is also given a static IP 192.168.1.2 on the main router AC68U.
