I recently upgraded to Sky Q and when being installed, the engineer reported a number of problems that led me to request a new router. I received a new Sagecom router.
Since I plugged the unit in I have had problems connecting to my work VPN. there is a message
"The VPN connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be completed. The most common cause for this failure is that at least internet device (for example, a firewall or a router) between your computer and the VPN server is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol packets. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator or Internet Service Provider."
The workplace IT guys has pointed to the router as being the root cause ( accidental pun)
Apparently there is a firmware solution to this.
I have a second problem in that Sky make periodic calls to my new Sky Q box to ensure it is where it should be. I lost my internet based service after a few weeks and it seems that Sky could not get through. An engineer came out and blamed the router firewall.
How can these issues be resolved please?
