Hi,

I seem to be one of the growing number of Virgin users who have good email connection using a Dlink DIR-615 wireless router, ver 1.00VM, but no vpn connection. I can get a vpn connection with a Netgear router and, as a number of Virgin users use a Netgear router, it can't be a policy issue.

I have downloaded the 2 Dlink files that I need to flash the router. I have also downloaded the User manual for the DIR-615.

However, when I read the manual, I find out that I have to configure the router, at its simplest, using the Setup Wizard. However, even that seems to be quite complicated: I need to enter MAC addresses, Static or Dynamic addresses, PPPoE or PPTP, L2TP, etc. All very complicated. If I just use the two downloaded files, can I forget about all the above? If I backup the current, pre-flashed router settings, can I import them into the flashed router to save me a lot of effort?

If, in the end, heaven forbid, I have to buy a new router, which one would anyone suggest?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Percy
