Work Cisco Anyconnect VPN does not connect

[AdamJay]

Hi,

I have a TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub 2 hardware version FAST5464 version SG4K100202 and as of around the 5th/6th of September, I have been unable to connect on one of my work laptops (I have several company and client laptops, and only 1 out of 4 is impacted - unfortunatley its the one I need to use most) using the mandatory Cisco Anyconnect VPN.

I am able to connect the laptop to the wifi and I can confirm its connected via the router GUI on another device but the VPN does not connect.  I've tried multiple reboots of the laptop and router, tried using both Wifi and LAN cable (neither of which work), giving the device a static IP and putting it into the DMZ, and factory resetting the router, all with no sucess. I don't have a spare router to test. I'm able to tether it to my mobile and connect, and I've engaged my work IT who aren't aware of any changes made to the laptop or the VPN service.

What's annoying is that I have 6 other devices (3 other work laptops, a desktop PC, a phone and a Nintendo Switch) that all seem to be working without issue.

I can see there are a few similar recent posts, has there been a recent change made to the router like firmware or other config?

Are you able to recommend any sugestions?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same issues whilst working from home.  My work laptop will connect to the wi-fi but the I cannot connect to the VPN as it is say it cannot access the internet.  Work IT engineers have checked my laptop and everything is as it should be.  Has there been a change or update to ISP settings?
