Maybe it means 1 PPTP Tunnel and 1 IPSEC/L2TP tunnel? Some routers
specifically support multiple tunnels while others don't... Try
looking at the Netgear support forum at
http://www.broadbandreports.com to see if others have come up with a
solution (maybe a firmware update, perhaps) for your particular
router.
