I remember back in the 80s helping setup our High Schools network back in the day by daisy chaining all the computers together and using a repeater. Then in the late 90s, someone who will remain unnamed got the first linksys wifi router in the apartment building and bought the fastest speed the local ISP had available, and then charged all the neighbors $20 each to connect to it. In 2014 I started working for a Charter School in San Diego that had 26 campuses from San Diego to Sacramento, one of our sites had a $2,500/mo internet bill with no description. When I called the company, we were paying $1,250/ea for two old T1 lines when they had a 300mb connection available for $99/mo. Gotta love the internet. I still miss the old days of the static noise the 12-48kpbs modems used to make as they literally dialed up the connection.

Now I have a new issue with the same VPN Z3. Once we got it working last week, it worked great all weekend. Yesterday I enabled the SSID/WiFi on the Z3 so that the user would not have to be tethered to the Z3 on her laptop. Once she removed the ethernet cable from the Z3 that was connected to her laptop, she could no longer connect to the network again. Is there a DHCP setting for the SSID that I did not configure correctly or something else. I am assuming that is the purpose of the SSIDs on the Z3 devices, so that the remote user does not have to be tethered to her Z3 when accessing the company network.

Thank you for the reply, I found that on our Client VPN that was working fine, there was a static IP setting for the WINS servers enabled. When I added these two IP addresses to the remote users latptop IPV4 Properties settings under the WINS tab, the remote user was able to finally get in.

I have an MX84 running as a VPN Hub and I am testing a Z3 as a spoke. Remote user is able to setup Z3 to home internet provider and I can establish the hub and spoke VPN tunnel. I can ping the laptop and I can see it on my dashboard so I know the tunnel is there, however, the user cannot open any shared files or applications from her laptop. I do not see any traffic coming through the VPN tunnel. The requests seem to be going out her home internet provider instead of the tunnel. Our client VPN works fine though. We were just counting on the Z3 device to be a more reliable connection for our remote sales staff. Any suggestions or questions.
