I have the FVS336G installed to load balance between two internet providers (small office) The admin page is SSL secured with a self signed NetGear CA certificate - After I add this certificate into my trusted list in Windows the browser complains about it using an obsolete cipher suite. I am concerned at some point these browsers are going to shut down access to this NetGear Firewall I tried installing a self signed root CA cert and signing the FVS336G generated request with it - but it must only be used with VPN as it did not change the certificate used by the admin page. Is there a way to update this admin certificate? Or maybe a way to disable SSL - I have no interest in remote managing the FVS336G. Is there a way to SSH into the firewall and swap out a certificate file or something? ...Dale PS: I have the latest firmware installed.Solved11KViews0likes11Commentsundead schedule has been deleted: 'quick_i1prep' : What is 'quick_ilprep' ?????
Two FVS318N routers; latest available firmware. I have an odd entry in my VPN log file between two FVS318N routers. I won’t bore you with log files but want to ask if the entry below is odd to you. an undead schedule has been deleted: 'quick_i1prep'. Subject: Logs From FVS318N [EHT_VPN_FVS318N]Mon Dec 12 15:01:20 2022(GMT-0500) [EHT_VPN_FVS318N][System][VIPSECURE] Ignore information because the message has no hash payload.

Is that a phrase generated by the Netgear router? It showed up 6 times in 24 hours. In 20 years I have not seen that expression used in Netgear log files and coincidently the ROUTER to ROUTER VPN TUNNEL is failing once a day for the past 2 days. 'quick_i1prep' is not the name of any policy or client ID I’ve created. Can you shed light on why it is in my log file? Is this a Netgear generated key word? Also, one other anomaly I’ve discovered is a user VPN profile with the Remote ID of “AbbyR_EHT_Remote” that connects OK but the ID gets renamed to “AbbyR_EHT_Remote9” in the VPN log file. None of my other Netgear Clients end up with the Remote ID DNS being modified. I’m using the Netgear VPN Client 6.40.004 client. I’m concerned by the ‘quick_ilprep’ and AbbyR_EHT_Remote Remote ID having the ‘9’ appended to it because my routers got hacked 10 days ago and I had to pin reset and then re-image both routers and reprogram them both. I accidently left the ‘remote administration’ option enabled. Apparently someone got in and created two USER accounts that couldn’t be deleted. But after rebuilding both routers I have an issue where one router indicates the Tunnel is established when in fact it is not; and the opposite router does see that the Tunnel is NOT established. I have to power cycle the one router that incorrectly claims the Tunnel is established to clear the issue. Disabling the policy and re-enabling the policy wont fix the issue, nor does using the DISCONNECT button. Yet about 24 hours later the tunnel stops working again with the same symptom. I’m replacing the router that seems to be confused with another FVS318N. Any comments or guidance you can offer will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

If I've understood correctly, keeping the software or firmware in this case up to date, is one of the basic tenets of cyber security, the fact that "Nighthawk AC2300 Cybersecurity WiFi Router" does not find a new firmware version automatically let alone after prodding it to see if there is a new version available, doubleplusungood" that is to say horrible. I have opened a case to Netgear on November 2020 regarding this issue. The customer service said that the case was "escalated". Yet when I verified, again, that "V1.5.1.86_10.0.58" did not find "V1.5.1.88_10.0.58" as an new version. Has any one else had this issue or do I have the very unique "Nighthawk AC2300 Cybersecurity WiFi Router"?1.1KViews0likes3CommentsMultiple private networks from one ISP for IOT, and wired devices and wireless devices and guest.

A document on the Netgear site explains how to configure an L2TP VPN Tunnel using the buit in Windows 10 VPN tools. https://kb.netgear.com/24393/Configuring-an-L2TP-VPN-Tunnel-to-ProSAFE-ProSECURE-routers The article example configures Layer 2 Tunneling with IPsec (L2TP/IP/Sec and the MSCHAPV2 authentication method. I'm using Windows 10 Pro. My question is this: Does this method create an encrypted tunnel or just a VPN Tunnel connection that is not encrypted? IPsec implies to me it is an encrypted tunnel. Can anyone shed light on this question please.1.4KViews0likes1CommentShrew VPN Question
Shrew VPN Client: I need guidance: The tutorial at ShrewVpn.com offers no comments indicating which example IP addresses and FQDN's should be replaced with my own network addressing. Using the Shrew tutorial for batum does get a successful tunnel; however nothing can pass through the tunnel; so I need to find a better example tutorial/guide. I have many FVS318Gs, All firewalls on computers used are off. Can't ping anything on the other end of the tunnel.Solved4.6KViews0likes5CommentsBR500 Security and Port Forwarding
I am installing 2 BR500 to replace some old equipment. The VPN was easy but need some other advise. I need to open seveal ports and forward the traffic to a server. I can do that but cannot find anyway to restrict, either by public IP or MAC address, who can get in. I have been able to specify this in the past on other Netgear products. Don't know what I am missing. Tech support was of no help. Appriciate any suggestions.1.7KViews0likes1Comment
