Seriously making my life difficult too. Remote Management checkbox being unticked whenever modem reboots. Turned Remote Management on a couple days ago, it worked for hours. Perfect. Try logging into Remote Management 2 days later... nothing. Had to get mum to turn on her pc, then use VNC to see the router page. Remote Management unticked. :@   Today, re-ticked Remote Management, clicked Save. Checked from my PC that it works. Yep, all good. Clicked Log Out. Re-login, check Remote Management ticked. Yep, ticked. All good. Click Reboot router. Guess what. Re-login to find that Remote Management is un-ticked. Blame TP-link for shoddy firmware, AND blame TPG for choosing them as a supplier. You have not sufficiently vetted the supplier's equipment. It's 2021. It's not 2002 when the masses just started getting broadband (for me $89/month 3GB Telstra Cable :P ). YOU'VE HAD 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE... OF BEING EXPOSED TO THESE BUGS. YOU SHOULD HAVE THE FORESIGHT BY NOW TO TEST FOR THESE KINKS IN YOUR SUPPLIERS' EQUIPMENT!  It's simply not acceptable anymore. Now I have to leave a PC running 24x7, paying for it's electricity, port-forward to it, in order to use VNC, in order to access the router's settings. Ridiculous. Hours upon hours of my time wasted. ... View more

RLK or anyone... mine doesn't even show the "VPN" category at all. After logging into the router and clicking the "Advanced" tab up the top... there is no "VPN" heading down the left side menu. I've looked inside of every heading and its corresponding sub-headings. I've even tried the search field above the Status heading, tried "vpn", "openvpn", "ipsec", "pptp". Nada. There is nowhere in my router pages that mentions VPN at all.   Hardware Version:Archer VR1600v v1 00000000 Firmware Version:0.1.0 0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 200810 Rel.53181n I have a decent level of computer knowledge. I've bound an IP to the Mac address. Created a port-forwarding rule (or as TP Link calls it "virtual server") for my real vnc server. So I'm not completely retarded... am I? Can't see any firmware updates for the VR1600v on the tp-link website either. Need some help guys. Has TPG disabled it for some reason? ... View more
