Re: Can't connect to work VPN using Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway

T mobile support was abysmal, so I took the liberty of researching it myself, and what I found is that the T Mobile router is blockinginbound ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload)packets, which means that even though I'm "connected" to the VPN, and am requesting webpages and such, no information ever makes it back to my computer. Dear T Mobile, PLEASE fix this, or at least look into it, instead of dismissing it as a "third party" issue. It is not. Thanks, hooperdev! After I posted the issue, I went to a store to ask if they have the Nokia model, the store associate was not supportive to my idea of changing model, but they made a call anyway and found that the Nokia model is out statewide (I am in CO). I guess we need to voice up for this issue and the releases to fix the VPN issue on the Nokia model was because a lot of complaints were pouring to t mobile and they have to fix it to get new customers. But this Sagemcom model is newer model, not sure how soon t mobile is willing and will add similar release to fix the VPN issue.. Just based on the customer support response, not very promising..6Visto0likes0ComentariosCan't connect to work VPN using Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway
We got theSagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway model for Home Internet, however, we can't connect to the work VPN. We called customer support twice and their responses were that "we don't provide any support to VPN". The IT support of my company asked us to inquire about some settings and configurations to T mobile support and the response was that "this is a plug and use device. All you can see is the information on Home Internet App. We don't know more than you do." After some research on the community, it looks that some Firmware versions were released to specifically address the VPN issues, but it was for the Nokia gateway not the Sagemcom gateway,https://www.t-mobile.com/support/home-internet/nokia-gatewayWe wonder if T mobile can release similar Firmware updates to the Sagemcom gateway to address the VPN issue ASAP, such as, Resolves VPN tunnel protocols IKEv2/L2TP/IPSec Improves known issues: Cisco AnyConnect VPN; GlobalProtect VPN connection issues; Degraded experience
