Does anyone know if the D-Link 2750-U has built in support for incoming VPN connections?

If not, what is my options here?

I have a relative with a small business and they sometimes need some help, and I don't want to go to them every time, they have multiple pc's and I would like to be able to connect to their network using VPN, then I can RDP into each machine.

I did consider port forward, but it is not the way I want to go.
I also considered Team Viewer, but that means I need to install it on each machine.

Not that I can see.

It is only installed once. Why not bite the bullet and do it once. Or explain to your relative how to do it. It would save a lot of time at a later stage (if the ADSL is down, they connect with 3G and TV still works).
 
It doesn't have VPN.

What you could do is (assuming they're using Win7) you can use the built in feature and enable VPN on one machine -> connect to it remotely and then connect through it to the other machines.
 
The D-Link DSL-2750U most definitely does not have VPN server capabilities! Very few consumer grade routers/modems do.
You can host PPTP (not considered secure any more), L2TP and IPSec VPN services on a cheap MikroTik router such as the RB750, which should cost you less than R700. MikroTik routers also have limited support for OpenVPN.

You can always go and install OpenVPN and do a port forward for UDP Port 1194 to a single PC on their network and then you can connect to them using OpenVPN via UDP. OpenVPN can work over TCP too, but the performance is rather poor compared to it over UDP.
