VPN Not Working since 8th Dec 2021

Dear Support Team

 

Please acknowledge that I could not connect to my work VPN through Sagecom 5364 Router since 8th December 2021. This stopped me from working efficiently which also did affect the company performance massively. Please see the link below addressing this problem;

I believe this has happened as the result of latest firmware update on the router and that firmware might have a bug.

 

Henceforth, THIS NEEDS TO BE SORTED OUT URGENTLY!

 

Looking forward to the immediate response from the team.

 

Regards

Sagar

Hi Sagar

 

We advise to allow 24-48hrs for the router to arrive.

 

Please let us know if you haven't received this by Friday.

 

Thanks

Hi Karl

 

Please could you update me on whether the router is right now as it is more than 24hrs since you sent it out?

 

Looking forward to your immediate response.

Hi Ferguson

 

I raised this issue over the telephone in December and the front line people were very unsupportive by saying as long as the internet works that's what matters. This kept me going round the circles with my employer's IT person for weeks.

 

Also, they send us another router of the same model in early December which did not help at all. The most helpful time with regards to this started when i saw the youtube video. From there, I raised the issue.

Hi

 

The Huawei Hub is a solid router and should arrive in 24 - 48hrs.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

The current model you are using, the Sagemcom Hub, we have identified an issue with the later firmware that in some cases is affecting VPN connections. Specifically when using windows own VPN.

 

I've a Huawei model hub on the way to you and we have no reported issues with this model affecting VPN connections.

 

Thanks

Hi SagarSohan

 

Can you double check the phone number on your 'Community Profile' is correct as this is showing an account in another name.

 

Can you add the account holders name in the private notes section of your 'Community Profile' .

 

Also, if unsure about the phone number, simply dial 17070 from your home phone and this will confirm the number for you.

 

Thanks  

 

Karl.

Which firmware version do you have? Why did you wait so long before raising this?
