Recent Firmware updates on R8000 and R7000 break SonicWall SSL VPN Connectivity
I have spent nearly 40 hours investigating connectivity issues with SonicWall SSL VPN using the Dell SonicWall NetExtender client and the Windows 10 SonicWall Mobile app, which resulted in the root cause being Netgear Firmware updates, so am posting here for the benefit of others and also in the hope that Netgear resolve the issue. I have tested and verified the issue on Netgear R8000 X6 & Netgear R7000 devices, connecting to SonicWall SSL VPN devices in Palo Alto and London (waiting on firmware version from the respective IT teams), but our Atlanta and Manchester offices do not experience the issue and they are on older SonicWall firmware versions with the Dell icon, rather than the new SonicWall S in a shield icon. I've tested both of these devices using PPPoE on FTTP connections using 2 PC's, 2 laptops and an Android mobile device and also excluding the Netgear router (conntecting the network cable directly to the PC's and Windows performing the PPPoE connectivity) to verify 100% that it's a Netgear firmware issue. On the Netgear R8000 X6 The issue occurs from firmware version 1.0.3.48 The most recent version without the issue is 1.0.3.46 On the Netgear R7000 The issue occurs from firmware version 1.0.7.12 (also tested version 1.0.9.6) The most recent version without the issue is 1.0.7.10 Netgear, please resolve this issue in newer firmwares, otherwise I suspect that more people will be affected by this in future.Solved6.2KViews1like3CommentsRemote Desktop Setup
I would like to setup my network so that the amchien with IP address 192.168.1.40 can be accessed with a static IP provided by my ISP, let's call that one 50.149.12.741. On my last router (a sonicwall) there was a way to tell the router that an RDP request (either on our LAN or from an outside computer) to 50.149.12.741 should be routed to 192.168.1.40; but I cannot find how to do that one this Nighthawk R7000. Is this type of setup possible with the router I've chosen?Solved32KViews0likes4Comments
