Nighthawk rs700 VPN vs Nighthawk R9000
Good morning Everyone, Systems: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, Marvell AQton 10gb nic and on the second machine Windows 11 Pro 23H2, Intel X550-T2 nic. I have noticed that switching from my Nighthawk r900...
Good morning,
I believe our company uses Microsoft's built in vpn server. When I reviewed the packets (using the old router) I see references to Microsoft Azure. I believe they are using Azure for a two factor authentication.
The pc's are connected to an XS728T Prosafe switch( wired). The switch is connected to the 10gb port on the two routers (wired).
I do not have a secondary VPN service with 2fa to test. However, when I watch the vpn login process, it appears as though I successfully login to our server. It seems to fail when it starts using the Challenge Handshake Authentification Protocol. Which is consistent with the observed behaviour seen using Wireshark
Using the older Nighthawk it works seemlessly with no tweaking. With the new Nighthawk, it doesn't work under any configuration I can conceive. I the only setting i hadn't tried was setting the router setting "Respond to Ping on the Internet Port". I tried this morning to no avail.
It appears to me that the Nighthawk WIFI 7 Router is blocking the protocols (CHAP and/or GRE). Of course there is no setting that I can see that confirms or refutes my position. Access control is disabled, there are no blocked sites or services. There is no firewall or antivirus getting in the way.
I disabled its' Armor protection as a first step.
I also tried downgrading the firmware to the prior two versions (V1.0.7.66 and V1.0.7.80) but it did not change the behaviour.
A head scratcher for sure.

Any progress on this?
