Hello, I bought an ER6020 few days ago, and I tried to set up the VPN by the following link:

http://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/VPN_Config_Guide_V2.pdf

The one I followed is "7. How to configure a L2TP Server on TP-LINK Router"
I set the IP address pool with my local LAN IP subnet so that I can connect to the other devices on my LAN via VPN.
Below is my LAN setting:
Subnet 192.168.1.0/24
PN pooling: 192.168.1.11-192.168.1.30
DHCP: 192.168.1.51-192.168.1.100
Submask: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 8.8.8.8
then I set up the L2TP username and password, of course, Pre-shared key also.
After these setting, I went to IPsec policy page to enable the IPsec.

It seems all the settings are done, I try to connect it from my macbook with my 4G internet.
but the message shows that VPN Server not respond. Is there anything wrong with my settings?

I guess yours is TL-ER6020v1,right? Have you ever tried on you macbook to ping WAN port IP address of TL-ER6020? Firstly you should check if they are reachable.

Hello, I have the same problem. Router model er-604W and er-6020, configured server vpn l2tp. Computers with any windows operating system connect to the vpn in the correct way. In contrast, computers with mac do not connect by vpn. It seems clear an incompatibility with mac. I have an open ticket with tp-link, at the moment without answer.
