I received an update from engineering. One of the VPN servers was dropping connections which was causing the VPN connection loss issues that were reporting. This was addressed and customers should now be able to connect, this may require a reboot of the router to re-establish the connection and no need to upgrade to the 5.7.0.6 firmware.
