Poor connection - dropped packets

Post by Mikexx » Fri Dec 03, 2021 6:26 pm

I am a newby to SoftEther and would prefer to use this VPN application to share files etc rather than through a Remote Desktop connection.

I have SoftEther server running on a PC that uses WiFi to connect to a standard router.
I run SoftEther client on this and a remote PC.
The following ports are forwarded to the PCs in question in their respective routers
443
992
1194
5555

I can independently Remote Desktop into the remote PC.
I can see each PC on the other PC at the allotted IP address given by SoftEther.
However if I ping the other PC, say 192.168.1.128 I get anything from 1 to 3 packets out of 4 failing.

What am I doing wrong? Is the issue that the server is being run on a PC using a WiFi adapter?

In essence it would be great if all the machines were on the same network, where each side of the great www divide used their respective gateway addresses for addresses outside of the local subnet. Currently one uses 192.168.1.1 and the other 192.168.1.254

Any help would be appreciated.
