Pease fix IKEv2 bug on Nighthawk M2 Mobile Router
Nighthawk M2 Mobile Router
So today I was trying to setup a IKEv2 tunnel and it failed I was in IP passthrough at the time so I thought hmm getting port 500 to go thought but not 4500 so I disabled VPN passthrough thinking that might be the problem it rebooted and the tunnel connected! BUT NO this is only half the story I disable the tunnel waited 5 mins and yes it did not connect reboot the 4G router it connected so I thought hmm maybe a bug with IP passthrough? So when back to 4G router without IP passthrough and yes tried with and without VPN passthrough enabled SAME problem the tunnel stays up fine ONCE its up but as soon as its down for 5mins you have to reboot the 4G router and connect within some mins.
Please fix I'm on firmware NTGX24_10.17.08.00

Well...I worked out what it was and it down to a complicated way of have two routers each with their own IKEv2 tunnel by firewall FQDN for a given domain so I had setup DDNS and every time I rebooted the M2 was under a new IP DDNS waits a delay and the tunnel worked that the firewall updated then blocked on the router I wanted to connect too.😑
