I describe a problem with SSL Protocol Errors being generated when using a Netgear R7800 (Nighthawk X4S) connected to a Virgin Hub 3.0 (and also Hub 2ac) which has been placed in modem-only mode.
The SSL errors happen in a very specific scenario. I am serving a website from my Virgin IP address and the R7800 router is working fine with the port forwarding and I'm getting the same throughput I did with the VM Hub acting alone in router mode.
However, when I view my own website from the same IP address at Virgin Media that it is being served from, SSL errors are being generated especially on JPGs. In Google Chrome, "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" and in Firefox "SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ".
If I put entries into Windows Host File pointing to my local internal server address 192.168.0.* then the errors go away.
So is this a bug in the Netgear firmware or in the VM Hub 3.0 firmware? Or a known restriction in using third party routers in conjunction with VM Hubs?
Re: R7800 on Virgin Hub3.0 causing SSL Protocol Errors
Well, amazed that nobody has attempted a response to this.
I would have thought the fact the Nighthawk X4S R7800 supports NAT Loopback suggests a bug in the firmware, because the scenario I describe ought to work.
The suggestion on Virgin Media's forum was that NAT Loopback was the culprit.
