Firmware Version:

Setting up PPTP, my VPN username is 16 characters.  When I try to enter it into TPLink router, it says there is a limit of 15 characters. 

 

There has to be a way around this.  Ideas?

@gadgethead 

 

Are you configuring the A7 as a PPTP VPN Server?

 

If that's the case, I believe you can create your own username and password but not use one that is provided by other providers. Can you please confirm?

 

This is the guide to configure PPTP VPN Server on the router, please check if this is what you're trying to configure:
