Model :

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I recently purchased a TL-R600VPN router and I'm unable to connect to my work VPN using my work laptop when on my local LAN. The laptop is a newer MacBook Pro with OS X El Capitan and I'm connection via the Mac network preferences.

The VPN is to a Meraki MX80 via L2TP. Simple network setup: Wifi access point into the router and then out to ISP.

Troubleshooting/steps:

1) If I bypass the router and connect directly to my ISP WAN connection my vpn works
2) Doesn't matter whether it's a wired or wireless connection - neither one works
3) Have turned off the firewall - didn't make a difference (it's now back on)
4) All of the VPN pass through settings are set to allow pass-through (IPSec, L2TP, PPTP)

I am not a network genius but I know the basics. Any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated. I would be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks!

Yes and No, actually. Yes in that our IT department is going to get me a Z1 appliance to talk to the Meraki vpn host. But no, in that I was never able to get the router to work right. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them otherwise I'm going to close out the question. Thanks.
