Might review FW updates:

I did apply the new firmware. This seemed to have helped...for a while. The error messaging seems different. See logs attached. It seems to connect (even consistently over a couple of days), then suddenly no go. I can't seem to figure out why "can't assign requested address". Note: I have no "other VPNs" running; I am disconnected from WIFI, and I can access internet using cellular network. See logs below showing a successful connect followed by a failure. I appreciate the assistance!
