Can I setup AC66U to be VPN server while in access point mode?

[regulator207]

As per the title. I am in a situation where my router is in access point mode behind another router that doesnt support being a vpn server. I know when the ac66u is in router mode it has the option but they are gone when it is in access point mode.

Anybody have any solutions?

thanks

Unfortunately not - those features only pop up when its running in Router mode from what I can see.

You could still run it as full router and just connect the WAN port to a LAN port on your upstream router - but you'll need to run separate IP subnets on the LAN sides.

Thanks for the clarification.

unfortunately, running separate subnets would not be compatible with the current setup I am in. Thanks for the suggestion though.

This is exactly what I have been trying to achieve also.
The instructions here show the VPN Server button in the left menu, but in AP mode we dont have the button

Is this a bug/something that can be fixed?

AP mode does not support the VPN services.
