CAX80 Drops VPN
I am having the exact problem. When connected to my employer's VPN (F5), internet connection drops every single time on wired or wireless. This just started. I have reset the router several times and reimaged my work laptop with the same result. I have the latest firmware too. Is there a setting within the CAX80 that needs to be turned on/off?
I ended up disabling SIP ALG and so far I haven't lost internet when connected to my VPN.

If you are using a Windows laptop computer, you need to check to see if a Windows update has changed your Network Profile from Private to Public. It should be Private. Go to Settings -> Network & Internet -> Status -> Properties to verify.
On the hardware side on your computer, go to the device manager in the Control Panel to check to see if your wireless port or your Ethernet port are configured to power down as part of a power saving configuration.
I made the suggested changes, from Public to Private and ethernet/wifi wake. I will monitor to see if this resolves the issue. Stay tuned for an update.
