V1.0.4.18_10.1.49
I got it to work.
Ended up turning the VPN off
restarting router
turning VPN back on
downloading new cert information
installing new files on client

What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
