The combination works but there seems to be no way to access the DM200's user interface from the local LAN e.g. I tested out the R6260 with a Netgear DM200 as the modem. Others may be more successful, but don't be too surprised if this router blocks access to your corporate VPN. I suspect that the NAT gateway doesn't like IPsec and packet fragmentation.
It will connect but there is something interrupting the data flow after the first few bytes.
There is a "VPN passthrough" mode but I could not get IPsec to work reliably through the router (from a Home computer to remote server). Given that incoming packets via a NAT Router have to be associated with an outgoing stream or an explicit port forwarding rules, it is difficult to see what they mean by this. It allows you to configure "secure NAT" or "open NAT", but does not explain what the difference is. The Netgear User Interface is clunky and slow.įirewalling seems mostly targeted at the suspicious parent market and focuses on outgoing controls and site blocking. The router supports BT IPv6, but I am not convinced that there is any sort of firewall for incoming/outgoing IPv6. There is no reverse ARP (needed for remote wakeonlan) and getting VPNs to work is a real problem. However, the router has only a basic firewalling capability and does not appear to add device names to a local DNS server. The signal is strong and data transfer is fast. The average home user will probably find it OK, but. The R6260 is better than the basic router you get from an ISP, but still lacks many features.
