VPN connection drops every several minutes on my AC1750
Model version: R6700V2 Firmware:V 1.0.0.34 My VPN client is Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on Mac, I need it to work remotely every day, but the VPN connection drops every several minutes, ...
Upgrade to latest firmware yesterday, no drops since. I consider that "fixed" as often as the VPN would hang or drop. While I was in the Admin panels I also changed QoS for my work computer to Highest. I doubt that had any effect, I believe the firmware upgrade fixed the problem.
Of course, the day after my previous post, I noticed that there was a new firmware update available. Firmware update V1.2.0.16_1.0.1 fixed this issue for me. 4+ days since installing it and not a single vpn drop.
I read your post and updated the firmware. I tested the vpn connection and it stopped dropping me so far. Before the firmware update I was watching the VPN reconnecting about every 2 to 4 minutes.
I have had the exact same problem!! I use the same router and same VPN, and for me the issue started after I updated the firmware.Disheartening to see that this issue still stands unresolved.
I have the Costco R7900p router. I noticed my VPN dropped on any of the 5ghz wifi band but stayed on all the time when on the 2.4ghz wifi band. My original issue was i lose internet connection maybe due to ISP ipaddress DHCP renewal but the router thinks its still connected. Netgear 2nd level support reached out to me and sent me the beta firmware V1.3.0.11_1.2.2(test) to test if it fixes my internet issue. I installed that and noticed my VPN became more stable when on the 5ghz band. No more dropped connection. As for my internet connection, i wouldn't know until the ISP renews my ipaddress. I'll post when my ISP changes it and see how this behaves.
