Region : UnitedStates

Model : TL-R600VPN

Hardware Version : V2

Firmware Version : 1.2.2 Build 140422 Rel.33638n

ISP : Cox

I have this router set up and working correctly with a laptop and an iPhone 5S. I cannot however connect my android Nexus 5 to the VPN. I have pasted the logs below. I am able to connect to other pptp vpns using my nexus 5, but not the one built into the TL-R600VPN.

Figured out the problem, on the Nexus 5 and possibly other androind phones the APN settings default to IPv6 at least on T-Mobile. Fixed this by editing the APN settings and changing IPv6 only to IPv6/IPv4. Hope this helps others experiencing the same issue.
