VPN connection establish but drop when wireless.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

It looks like you need to do some persistent port forwarding (I'm not
sure what ports you will need to forward as each client software is
different).

Also start using WPA on the MN-700 & enable 802.1x authentication (This
is because when the MN-700 is using WPA it is a 802.1x authentication
server).

If that doesn't work the only solution I know of is use an ethernet cord
when you need to VPN.
