FVS318Gv2 Prosafe VPN Firewall
Hi, everyone : Going nuts here with this problem. Have a total of four (FVS318Gv2). One is the main office and the other three are in different states. we use the FVS318Gv2 hardware VPN for the phone...
Thanks for a warm Welcome.
Answer and more backgrounds.
A) All 3 connection was working fine. 2 had been over 2 years, started with slower FVS family routers( I using the router's VPN for Voice over IP phone only). The 3rd wa install 4 month ago was hit by lighting had to be replace 1 week ago. All units same model and firmware. Firmware 4.3.4-1
B) no, n/a everywhere as Verizon advertise.
C) no changes made.
D) just reconfigure IKE/VPN policy. Waiting for someone to do a hard reboot.
E) yes. Lan to WAN setup. Verizon w/wifi to FVS318Gv2 cable connection only internal PCs.
F) Firmware 4.3.4-1
Try lowering security - not working (return to original setting)
Hope you can help.

Hi dedad,
Does it mean that all 3 FVS318Gv2 from other states cannot establish a VPN tunnel to the FVS318Gv2 located in the main site?
Were you able to have someone reboot the FVS318Gv2 on the main site then check if same problem occurs?

Hi DaneA,
Yes to both questions. It was all working, Just last week it stop working on by one. They alway will return working by rebooting it.
Thanks.
Hi dedad,
The problem is isolated since the FVS318Gv2 on the main office won't connect via VPN while the other 3 FVS318Gv2 are able to establish a VPN connection to each other. Can you try to factory reset the FVS318Gv2 on the main office then reconfigure it from scratch. Check if you will be able to establish a VPN tunnel with the 3 other FVS318Gv2 located on different states.
If ever the FVS318Gv2 still won't connect after you have done what I have suggested, I advise you to open an online case with NETGEAR Support at anytime. Let them know about your concern and the troubleshooting steps done to isolate the problem.
