L2TP VPN Server

System > L2TP Server Setup

You can enable and configure the L2TP VPN server on your router to allow remote

computers or mobile devices with L2TP support to connect securely over the Internet

and access the company LAN network. It is strongly recommended to enable L2TP VPN

server with IPsec instead of L2TP VPN only due to the higher degree of security offered

and supported on most modern computers and mobile devices.

Setting up the L2TP VPN server without IPsec encryption

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on page 7).

2. Click on System and click L2TP Server Setup.

3. For the Mode, select the Enable option to enable the L2TP server.

4. In the Local IP Address field, enter an IP address other than the LAN IP address.

(Default LAN IP: 192.168.10.1) (e.g. 192.168.80.1)

Note: Entering an IP address different from the LAN IP address as the Local IP of the L2TP

server ensures your L2TP VPN clients are able to access the Internet and the router LAN

network via full tunneling. If the LAN IP address is entered, L2TP VPN clients will be

allowed to access router LAN and not the Internet.
