Does this work for someone!

I cant save anything or do any selections!!

Looks lite all the settings are for OpenVPN, not for PPTP/L2TP

Sounds like a browser issue. Try clearing your cache (especially if you previously ran Asus's original FW), or try a different browser.

I actually tested a PPTP client tonight without any problem (aside from the fact that Asus disables mppe by default, but they have a hidden nvram setting that lets you re-add mppe support and allowed a test tunnel with work to be established).
 
Have tested with several diffrent computers and browsers.

No idea then. Works fine here and for other users so far.

How do you mean "Try clearing your cache"?

Should I reset the router before adding the upgrade, i have upgraded from 3.0.0.4_374.34_2

I can not save any settings either......?

Have now reseted the Router, reinstalled the firmware...... Its the same!!

Can only add a OpenVpn client, has no options and can not save the setteings either

I'm not sure what's happening for some of you having trouble with that page (that webui was designed by Asus BTW), but it worked fine for me again when I tested it last night, configuring a PPTP client through it.

I would take a look at your web browser console to see if there's any Javascript error causing the webpage to fail to properly render (Asus is using a lot of DOM-level manipulation to hide/display the relevant parts of the page, so any Javascript error will display a highly messed up page).
 
RT-n66u, 3.0.0.4.374.35_2-sdk5.

I've noted than pptp/l2tp part of the dialog does not contain password field and "add" button. This is (IMHO) because of "Advanced_VPNClient_Content.asp":
Code:
<!---- vpnc_OpenVPN start  ---->
<div id="vpnsvr_setting_openvpn" class="contentM_qis" style="margin-top: -720px; box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px rgb(0, 0, 0); display: block;">
margin-top set too "low". Value of -620 gave (me) better results: password field, cancel and ok buttons appears (at least).

But filling upper form part (pptp/l2tp) and pressing its "OK" button again fires JS popup "Field cannot be blank" and sets focus to "Description" field of bottom form part (openvpn).

Moreover, setting
Code:
style="display: yes;"
in
Code:
<td width="33%" align="center" id="pptpcTitle" onclick="tabclickhandler(0);" class="vpnClientTitle_td_click" style="display: yes;">
<td width="33%" align="center" id="l2tpcTitle" onclick="tabclickhandler(1);" class="vpnClientTitle_td_unclick" style="display: yes;">
<td width="33%" align="center" id="opencTitle" onclick="tabclickhandler(2);" class="vpnClientTitle_td_unclick" style="display: yes;">
shows strange but acceptable selectors that allows me select any of 3 vpn type and fill it succesfully. Bingo!
Pressing "Connect" button shows rotating icon then button changes to "Disconnect",
syslogs shows "<8>Nov 30 00:58:28 rc_service: httpd 311:notify_rc restart_vpncall" but nothing valuable happens.
At least ifconfig before and after shows no difference (I presume of more ppp interfaces coming up, do I?).
Page refresh wipes added vpn setting completely.

Also i noted
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="vpnc_proto" value="disable"/>
its value was read from nvram. Maybe this settings (or something behind it) need to be changed?

HTH. Many thanks to RMerlin for his valuable work.
P.S. Sorry for my English.


Thx but i didnt understand much of this!

Java error? So what to do?
i have tried all difrent browsers but it the same all over!!
 
The issue is specific to certain models (like the RT-AC66U) which, for some reason, don't have support for VPN clients properly enabled at build time. That can be seen by the missing "vpnc" capability on the Sysinfo page.

I have RT N66U
 
The problem is currently with all MIPS-based router, which means both RT-N66 and RT-AC66. This was a bug in the build environment that wasn't properly setting vpnc support as being enabled, it will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks, now i can configurate a PPTP client in the Router, it connects but nothing happens with my IP:confused:, same IP before as after.......status X

And if I puts in the right password for my VPN account i get an X in status, if i takes away some letters i the password I got an OK status for the service, but the ip is the same.

I have tested 2 diffrent accounts, they work if I set them up from a PC but nothing happens if I try it on the router, just an big X in the status fied!

Just let me now if you want to test one of my accounts RMerlin!?!

Had the same problem with my iOS devices (i.e. can access internal devices but can't surf the net) until I manually keyed in the DNS server IP addresses into the PPTP configuration.
