No. The problem with VPN over the WAP gateway is due to the fact that the WAP gateway is behind a NAT router.
PPTP type VPN (what Mergic uses) will not work behind a NAT router. IPSect type VPN will (what Movian, Cisco, and man others use.)
To use PPTP type VPN you need a real IP address which is why it only works on the ISP gateway.

It's merely a limitation of PPTP VPN not working on NAT.
