Nighthawk XR300 VPN Drop Outs
I just purchased a new Nighthawk XR300 and my Cisco VPN anyconnect client keeps on dropping in and out when connecting on DTLS protocol. If my connection randomly connects on TLSv1.2 then the connect...
First try disabling QoS completely from the Anti-Bufferbloat menu. Also Disable SIP ALG in WAN Settings and untick Disable IGMP Proxying and see if that helps.
Ok, so I did exactly that -
QoS - set to never
Disabled SIP ALG and unticked IGMP ProxyingIt has made no difference....
I have attached a screenshot from the anyconnect client showing the protocol and cipher while connected on DTLS.
As stated this protocol and cipher works fine when bypassing my netgear routers, the only time the connection is stable is when this transport protocol on the VPN client would randomly negotiate at TLSv1.2 and a different cipher suite.
Its like the netgear rourters have instability on the DTLS protocol.
Here are just some other examples from this page, and to me looks to be an ongoing issue with netgear routers... I am a little dissapointed as my previous netgear router had it for 6 years, thinking the problem would go away bu purchasing this XR300 today and still the same issues.

Can this please be escalated within Netgear and its engineers to investigate?
- Ah so it is a Netgear issue, I'd suggest creating a ticket with Netgear here: http://support.netgear.com/ then if you give us the ticket number we can try to escalate it from our side.
