Hi All,

I am trying to switch from my BT Smart Hub over to the Archer VR2800 for my BT VDSL line.

When I switch over the internet connection works fine, but I have a weird problem trying to get my wife's computer to connect to her work.

To connect to her work we first connect to a L2TP tunnel within Windows 10, this connects fine.  Then she needs to connect to a remote desktop session, this starts to connect to the remote PC and checks the certificate etc, but when it reaches the point 'Estimating Connection Quality' it just gets stuck until it times out.  It works fine as soon as I switch back to the BT Router, so definitely something related to the TP Link router.

I have tried everything I can think of, turning on and off the L2TP passthrough, turning the firewall off, setting up RDP port forwarding on the NAT (should not be needed), putting her PC into the DMZ, but it just won't get past this point of the connection.

The router has been updated to the latest version and factory reset, but still no luck.

I have tried setting the connection quality manually in the Windows Remote Desktop but it still gets stuck at this point.

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Thanks,

Kris
