 Re: Routers known (not) to work with Secure Client
I have Verizon DSL and connect to a VPN using CheckPoint Secure Client. I tried using the Westell Versalink modem provided by Verizon but could not connect to the VPN. I then switch to the Westell 6100 (not wireless) and was able to connect. I wanted to be wireless so I tried a DLink WBR-2310 but could not connect - when I attempted to connect just timed out and failed. I have read some posts where the client could connect but couldn't access any apps, my situation was that I could not even connect to the VPN gateway.
Then I bought a Linksys WRT54Gs because Verizon said they support Linksys. I was on the phone with both Verizon and Linksys tech support and they could not help me configure the router to connect. I tried port forwarding on the ports used by the Host but no dice. I disabled the router firewall, etc etc......
Then I decided to try DLink again because in the past I could connect to the VPN with my old DI-614+ router - but that only supports 802.11b wireless connectivity AND I gave it to a friend so I couldn't exactly ask for it back.
I bought the DLink DI-524 because it was identified on the DLink website as the replacement for the DI-614+. I hooked it up, used the wizard to configure and had absolutely no problem connecting to my VPN.
I hope this helps others who are having a similar issue.  |
