Hello. Fairly new to this level of networking detail. I have been able to set up a L2TP VPN successfully to do what I need. I am using MacOS and iOS as clients. Everything works fine with the VPN (when I am at work, on a cellular network, etc.) except at one house I am in currently. I believe it is due to the local router handing out 192.168.1.x addresses (a Netgear) and my IP range on my ER-POE5 is also 192.168.1.x which is confusing my MacOS and iOS VPN clients when I try to access LAN resources over the VPN (I cannot connect to the ER-POE5 GUI config page, local network cameras I have installed, etc.).
Is this just a case of "I have to change my ER-POE5 IP range to something more obcsure than the standard 192.168.x.x" or is there another approach I can take with my VPN setup to get this to work better?
