This message never disaper, like can be seen on the screenshot i can't download package for OpenVPN or do other operation on this page

Netgear VPN Page.pngwhen i check on debug page http://X.X.X.X/debug.htm

Probably bug in 1.0.3.10 version.

It will take time for those images to appear here. Netgear has to approve them.

 

Are the lights on the R9000 as expected? Is the power LED doing anything odd, like flashing?

 

I assume that there is a modem of some sort on this network. Did you try to restart the whole caboodle in the right order?

 

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

 

  • Turn off and unplug the modem.
  • Turn off the modem router and computers.
  • Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
  • Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
  • Turn on the computers.

Hi Michaelkenward,

Thank you for responding.

Yes, all light as expected,

No, nothing special everything worked as expected beside vpn.

From network perspective I have at home more than 16 devices all connected and function correctly.

I done now what you suggest, same problem.

When I open VPN section in advanced tab I get message on bottom of the page:

“The OpenVPN configuration package is generation. Wait while the package generates.”

Will be much easy and understandable when you can see the images.

Thanks,

Ruslan

I just want to mention that I have exactly the same problem and none of the "standard support actions" that have been suggested helps.

Try rolling back to earlier firmware.

 

Find it, and a manual that tells you how to manually install older firmware, somewhere at the end of this link:

Thanks for the report back. It doesn't surprise me that something "small" slipped through the net. I suspect that only a handful of people use that feature, so it won't have got much testing. But that is no excuse.

I've passed this on to the people at Netgear who manage these things.

 

No idea if it will have any effect.

Hello, I heard newer beta FW v1.0.3.16 had fixed the issue, so I would suggest you can cotnact NTGR support team to query this version to fix this issue.

 

after the FW upgrade, you will need to redownload the openVPN config zip file from VPN GUI page for your laptops or mobile phones.

As mentioned before, request access to 1.0.3.16 from the Netgear customer service. A share link is floating around in the Chinese language community btw.

Do I need to do any reset?  Because I still got the "The OpenVPN configuration package is generating. Wait while the package generates." issue after I upgrade 1.0.3.16.

No, you don't need to reset your R9000. just wait for couple seconds to re-generate your new VPN packages.

after the package is regenerated, just redo config with these new package.

Alex, Is there a way to trigger the certificate generation again, ie. following a security breach? We're fine with using the shell to remove some files or trigger an update.

Did you reset the router to factory settings after the firmware flash?

New firmware sometimes introduces changes that are not compatible with the old configuration.

So while it isn't guaranteed to fix problems a factory reset is the first thing to try if you have issues with new firmware.

I think you may contact NTGR support team to query beta FW to fix it. 🙂

Anyone who arrives here expecting a proper solution (as per the Solved tag) should know that it is really just a workaround rather than a true solution.

 

You might have more luck if you go here:
