  • Are you using IPsec VPN? If so, you may try to change Fast Path Engine option to "Software Acceleration" and/or Disable IPsec VPN hardware acceleration to see if crash goes away. You can also "Enable Debug Log" for VPN to see more details about the crash. Please file a support ticket with NETGEAR and provide debug log for a solution. Thanks!
