    Hi Padman,
    Thanks for the helpful information, I do have 2 routers connected for stronger wifi signal, but I can't login to my second router because it was bridged, can you be able to help me to login to that second router easier beside have to reset to default. I do want to try changing my VPN on my second router like you taught. Thanks

    You can't use a bridged connection. You have configure the 2nd router with NAT from the 1st router

    hi padman

    Thanks for all the help that you have been giving us on making the TVpad works. I have a questions,I have learned on how to set up the VPN on the 2nd Router, I already watched your video. But how do I set up the wireless part, so the TVpad 2 can use the 2nd router wireless (does it need to have a different SSID than the 1st Router?) coz the modem and the 1st outer is far from the TVpad2. Please help

    The 2nd router should have it's own SSID(s) as routers can have 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies and each of them needs it's own SSID. The TVPad2 then uses the SSID of the 2nd router. Distance has no factor because you can technically run a CAT5E cable for 100 meters or 330 feet without issues.

    Salute to Padman and orthers with great helps from the forum !.......
    Need a little help and much appreciate.

    So my first router DHCP enable
    Local IP : 192.168.0.1
    Sub Net : 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway : 192.168.0.1

    My second router D-Link DIR 601
    Should DHCP on this router disable in order to have internet access ? and use static IP ?
    Local IP : 192.168.11.1
    Sub Net : 255.255.255.0 ( or 255.255.2xx.0 ? )
    Default gateway : 192.168.0.1
    Thank you in advance ....

    Hi Padman,

    Can you assist, I am trying to get the old folks in the house TVpad working. I have sign up with PureVPN today, and able to setup my secondary router pointing to hk*.purevpn.net address. I was able to get an HK IP address when I check using my laptop. However, non of the Apps on TVpad working with automatic network setup and the human icon is not green. I verified my network connection and seem to be pretty fast when browsing HK websites using my laptop connected to the same secondary router. Not sure if PureVPN is blocking some DNS service or I am still missing some other configuration. I live in the State and Verizon is my internet provider. I also tried using an android tv box testing with VST App and that's also not working. VST App works when I connected back to my primary router.

    Please let me know what else I need to check..

    Thanks,
    O.

    Padman, Thanks for the advice. I tried yesterday it didn't work but reconfigured this morning. Turn off my tvpad for 5 min and turn back on and now I can authenticate. But the streaming/download is sooo slow barely watchable. I am pointing to HK vpn. I will try other location tonight to see if it works better. Will update afterward.

    Thanks,
    O.

    Mmm, if it stutter then the vpn connection may be lagging.

    Try another location. If this persist then it may be your internet line.
