WRVS4400N Quickvpn Trouble

I have been using QuickVPN to connect through my WRVS4400N to a RV042 for several weeks. It then stopped connecting. After troubleshooting -> problem hardware is the WRVS4400N. I re-flased the current firmware and double checked all configurations. QuickVPN says it is connected for a short time, then pops the message about the remote gateway no longer responding. When using Command Prompt to ping over VPN, message says "negotiating security".
I have switched to a backup WRT54G using 3rd party firmware to QuickVPN to the RV042 and it works perfect.
Anyone have an idea of what I should check?
Thanks.

Gollum,
I apologize for the lazy way I went at describing the problem. Thank you for your suggestions.
The modem is bridged to a linksys product. And using Dyndns.org on the other dynamic public.
The vpn client is now working. What I believe happened is that when changing and saving configurations, they do not always immediatly take effect. I had to re-boot. BTW, the 2 minute boot cycle on the wvrs4400 seems a bit silly.

  • WRVS4400n, QuickVPN, Server's certificate doesn't exist on local computer

    Hi,
      I bought a new WRVS400n recently because it had Gigabit speed, wireless n and a built in VPN server.  The device works perfect except for the Quick VPN client.  I'm a system engineer so I thought I could set it up quite easy just like any other device I configured in the past.  Painfull but it isn't like this.
      I set up the VPN on the WRVS4400n and generated a certificate.  I saved both the client and admin certificate to my pc, I gave them a name to easily make up the difference between both of them.  When placing the certificate in the installed QuickVPN folder, it doesn't seem to get recognised by the QuickVPN software.  When I try to connect, it says 'Server's certificate doens't exist on your local computer'.  I guess the naming convention must meet some kind of format, is that correct?  If so, this should have been described in the documentation.
      Besides that I checked if the required ports used by the VPN server are open on the public port of the device, that is the case.  So It seems I'm quite close to get it working.
      The version of QuickVPN I used is 1.4.2.1.  The WRVS4400n has the latest firmware loaded.
    Kind regards,
    Pieter.

    >I set up the VPN on the WRVS4400n and generated a certificate.  I saved both the client and admin certificate to my pc
    The "certificate for client" should be saved as a .pem file and copied into the install directory of QuickVPN client.
    The "certificate for admin" is used as a backup, which can be used to re-provision the router in case admin needs to reset the router to factory default for any reason. 

  • WRVS4400N QuickVPN Netmask of 255.255.255.0 Hardwired

    It appears that, when using my WRVS4400N with QuickVPN, the NetMask of the network created by the WRVS4400N is always expected to be 255.255.255.0. While QuickVPN is connecting, it creates a file named vpnserver.conf in the program directory, which contains settings given by the WRVS4400N for connecting. Although, in this file, the network address is always correct, the net mask is always 255.255.255.0.
    For example, when the network address for my WRVS4400N is 192.168.0.128/25 (network 192.168.0.128-255, netmask 255.255.255.128), the vpnserver.conf file created directly from the request for network settings of the WRVS4400N contains 192.168.0.128/24 for the network, which ISN'T A VALID NETWORK. Thus, communication with any device through the VPN Tunnel isn't possible.
    Also, when the network address is 192.168.0.0/25 (network 192.168.0.0-127, netmask 255.255.255.128), the vpnserver.conf file contains 192.168.0.0/24 (network 192.168.0.0-255, netmask 255.255.255.0), which does permit communication directly to the devices connected to my WRVS4400N through the VPN Tunnel, but broadcast requests to 192.168.0.255 would fail, as the correct broadcast IP for the network should be 192.168.0.127.
    More restrictive Netmask Filters fail in the same way.
    Also, please note that I am using the latest Firmware for the WRVS4400N, and I am using the latest version of QuickVPN (v1.1 downloaded off another product page, as I cannot connect whatsoever with v1.0.x; for some reason the QuickVPN download hasn't been maintained/updated on the WRVS4400N page).
    So, besides the obvious solution of just using a network with a Netmask of 255.255.255.0, is there another way around this? Also, can others reproduce this problem, or is this just a quirk with my own router?
    Thanks in advance, -Harrison N.

    The computer that works has an IP that matches the router IP, which is also shown in System preferences: 88.157.222.106 and 88.157.222.254 respectively. The computer not working has another IP altogether. Where would this have come from? The DHCP cannot be working properly. It does not show a router IP.
    It is strange, as it was working OK on another home connection, all the time on automatic, using DHCP, and worked at my home fine before that.
    Manually setting an IP won't work, as the wireless base is giving out IP via DHCP. I want to keep it automatic for convenience, and in any case, as you say, there is clearly something wrong that needs to be fixed.

  • WRVS4400N quickvpn Vpn client accounts

                       Hello everyone, i'm new to cisco forum and i salute you all.
         Now lets get to business...hahaha
         Well i configured client account on the wrvs4400n v2 to use with quickvpn.
         3 of the 5 users created works fine when connecting to router but the other ones doesnt connect good.
         They all got the same client .pem install in Quickvpn.
         Let's say i try connecting with user num.2 with quickvpn it doesnt want to connect, it says connecting, for long time but noting happens.
         But when i look in VPN Summary on router it shows as connected?
             Any clue on whats going on?
         Thanx Pastload.

    Hello mpyhala, thanks for the quick reply.
    Yes i did try it on different PC. I can connect with no issue with my account on both PC with the same config. But not with user 2 and user 3. There is one error message about certificat, but if you click 'no' it will connect anyway, it works for the 3 users but not with the other 2's.
    And yes i did uninstalled quickvpn twice (clean uninstalled). And no change, still can not connect with user 2 and 3. I have deleted user 2 and 3 and created different user with different password and still the same.
    But if i look in vpn summary it shows user 2 as connected. But the quickvpn still showing ' connecting ' and it give me nothing.
    Does someone knows how is this possible? Do you need Logs.
    I notice that when establishing connection with my user the wget.exe make the connection and disconnect after connection is made.
    But the 2 other users the connection establishes with wget.exe but it doesnt close connection. It stays connected until i close it my self.
    Dont know if it could help.

  • WRVS4400N QuickVPN

    Has anyone figured out a way to get the quickvpn client to work with the wrvs4400n via any client/firmware version?  Currently using the latest avail on the download page and have tried everything no success.   Any newer client code/firmware version coming out soon with a known fix?

    Well,  i have to say i give up.  I have been a linksys user for over 5years. After a month of messing with this wrvs4400n, i would not recommend it to my worst enemy!  The interface is buggy, it locks up when saving settings and have to power cycle to recover,  its lost its config twice when changing settings,  getting the remote mgt working has been buggy, the remote access client vpn which was one of the major features i wanted just does not work under vista/nor xp in a real world setting,  did not even work with another tool called quickvpnplus, it takes forever to reboot(3min-5min), does not seem to generate an ssl certificate that browsers dont complain about hostname mismatch, and the list goes on.
    Don't get me wrong, i love linksys products.  But i did not buy this product to make a career out of trying to get it to work.  I've waited too long to get my money back, it will look good sitting on the shelf i suppose.   Perhaps down the road newer firmware will solve these issues.  Until then, i'll have to find a replacement product. Thanks for all the suggestions all over the internet and in this and other forums.

  • WRVS4400N QuickVPN and DHCP

    I just purchased a WRVS4400N with the intention of giving myself a secure way to remotely access my local network from anywhere via VPN. I created a local VPN account and had a friend install the QuickVPN client on his system. He gets connected (I can see it) but he doesn't get an IP so he can't really do anything once connected. How do I make the QuickVPN client get an IP upon connection so I can use it for remote access?
    As an FYI - I don't want to do an IPSec tunnel since the point is connecting from anywhere (restaurants, houses, client offices, etc.) and I won't know the remote IPs of where I'm connecting from.

    Quick VPN is not like most VPN Client software. It dosn't add a second network addapter it modifies the Windows IP Stack information for DNS and routing. When the QVPN Client connects it connects with its current IP address. That is why it is important that the Client IP subnet doesn't match the destination IP subnet.
    Router Requirements:
    •1.       Depending on the device Remote Management needs to be on.
    •2.       Users need to be created and enabled.
    •3.       Only One Connection per User Account.
    •4.       Local Network Subnet must be different than Remote Network Subnet.
    •5.       If using Certificate the .pem file needs to be exported and placed under the “C:\Program Files\Cisco Small Business\QVPN Client” folder.
    Microsoft XP SP3 (until 2014)
    •1.       Must be running Service Pack 3
    •2.       Must have the Windows Firewall Off (You can have the firewall on but we do not support Microsoft or any other 3rd party Firewalls. ICMP Echo Requests are required inbound through the software Firewall for a connection to establish.)
    •3.       Must have IPSec Services Running
    Windows Vista/ 7
    •1.       Must running Vista Service Pack 2 or run in Vista Service Pack 2 compatibility for Windows 7.
    •2.       Windows Firewall needs to be on. (3rd party Firewalls will not be supported.)
    •3.       Must have IPSec Services Running.

  • Latest QuickVPN(v1.3.0.3) reports "WGET.exe has encountered a problem..." with WRVS4400N

    I have a WRVS4400N(latest firmware V2.0.0.7) and am trying to connect to it for the first time using the latest QuickVPN v1.3.0.3 installed on a Windows XP Professional (w/SP3) computer. Installation of QuickVPN with no errors, but as soon as I ran it and tried to connect, it reported "wget.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience...". I tried it on another machine, also with XP Prof SP2 - same error.  I have looked at the soultion in other similar threads of removing spaces and that did not resolve the issue.  Please let me know if any one has a solution to this problem.

    It sems that the problem was with the Quick VPN client. Please try to download a copy of the QVPN from the Linksys site and try to re-install it on your computer. Please make sure that the previously installed QVPN has been remove before you reinstall it.

  • Why cannot QuickVPN reach into the shared folder behind WRVS4400n

    Why cannot QuickVPN reach into the shared folder behind WRVS4400n ?
    I can remotly log onto the router WRVS4400n through QuickVPN from my WinXP PC, but i cannot reach into the folder behind the router. After I log onto the router, i cannot find a new interface appearing in Network Connections. I do not have a new IP address which allow me to reach into the folder behind the router. Anyone can do me a favor ? Please see three attached pic. Thank you so much.

    I think it has something to do with WPA2/AES key renewals.

  • QuickVPN timeout to WRVS4400N issue

    I am using QuickVPN (1.4.1.2) on Win7 Pro, connecting to a WRVS4400Nv2 running the latest firmware (2.0.1.3).  After an extended time of usage (approx 45-60min - per the log below), the tunnel drops (The remote gateway is not responding.  Do you want to wait?).
    I can immediately remote into my router for configuration.  I can use RDP over a port forwarded rule.  But I cannot re-establish the tunnel under the same ID, or even a different ID.  The router is unresponsive to QuickVPN for approximately 5-10 minutes - even though it accepts the other processes fine, and routes to the internet fine for office users, and protects against external attacks.
    The QuickVPN LOG looks like this:

    After 5-10 minutes, I can reconnect to the router, for another 45-60 minutes, before I get booted again.  I thought is was firmware, since this latest firmware addresses some specific QuickVPN issues, but it has not been resolved.  Does anyone have a suggested solution for the issue?

    I have very similar situation with ckunkel.
    I set up WRVS4400n router and VPN settings, I can connect my outside PC to router with QuickVPN client, but after serveral times of connection or some duration of connection, router stops accepting any more VPN connection.
    Only different point, I can't resolve this situation except rebooting router. Once I get router's VPN hung-up, I can't connect VPN any more without rebooting.
    Router's firmware is V2.0.2.1, and QuickVPN is Ver 1.4.2.1.
    This situation is veri inconvenient for our office, because once somebody outside of office starts faied VPN connection, all other staffs in office have to stop using internet, and have to wait rebooting router.
    Does anyone in Cisco recognize this problem and know how to resolve this?

    You might want to go out and buy a lottery ticket because this could be your lucky day. I have had the same problem for the past 2 weeks. It was solved yesterday and I am still hung over from the celebrating.
    If you have a tunnel log onto the remote router first:
    1. Click on the VPN tab
    2. Scroll to the bottom of the screen to ADVANCED SETTINGS
    3. Phase 1:  Operation mode:   Change from “Main” to “Aggressive”
    4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the local router.
    5. Check your directories
    If that works please send beer. I hope this has been of some help.

  • Changing LAN IP on WRVS4400N breaks QuickVPN

    I have tried to change the LAN IP to 192.168.4.1, instead of 192.168.1.1.  I did this so our VPN users would not need to change their local IP due to the 192.168.1.1 conflict between 2 routers/networks.  However, once I change my LAN IP on my WRVS4400N, I can no longer connect using QuickVPN, and get the gateway error after the "Verifying Network" windows hangs for a bit. I switch my LAN IP back to 192.168.1.1, and all is well.
    Ideas?
    Firmware Version: V1.1.03
    QuickVPN: 1.2.11
    Windows system running QuickVPN: WinXP SP3

    Normally quick vpn should still work after changing the lan ip but since it is not working in your case try reflashing the firmware of the router. If still same thing, hard reset the router and reconfigure quick vpn. I believe that the router will try to change to a 10.x.x.1 address once it detects that it is still using the 192.168.1.1 address after creating the first quick vpn account so just click on yes to allow it. You may visit linksys.com/kb and look for Answer ID 5039 regarding that one.

  • Issue connecting to WRVS4400N using QuickVPN Client

    Hello,
    I am getting the attached error connecting to the WRVS4400N using the QuickVPN.  I get the error from both Windows XP and Windows 7 64-bit.  It has worked fine to a long time and then got the error when I tried to connect off of my hotspot and then tried again from home as normal and am always getting the error.  Another user started getting the error a few weeks after me and she is the one using XP.
    I have tried to reinstall, running as different compatibility O/S, running as admin, different userid/password, using remote DNS setting, rebooting router twice and many other things.  I can connect to the router via remote management with no issues and it seems to be working okay.
    Would appreciate a resolution.  This is causing issues for remote access that is very much needed.
    Thank You!!

  • WRVS4400N Requires QuickVPN?

    Hi All,
    I think this question has been asnwered via a combination of various posts, but I wanted to get a final, no guessing answer.  When I spoke with Cisco Sales, they told me, in no uncertain terms, that the WRVS4400N would meet my needs for a VPN that could handle either PPTP or IPSEC VPNs.  When I purchased and attempted a setup, it looks like that will only happen if it's a router-to-router setup.
    Is it correct that all computer to router connections require this proprietary QuickVPN software?  If so, then I'm more than a little ticked since I was blatantly lied to by Cisco sales.
    Thanks for any clarification.

  • WRVS4400N and QuickVPN

    I still am not able to get my WRVS4400N to accept a connection from QuickVPN. Is there someway I need to configure the router to set up a tunnel? When I start QuickVPN, I can not get past the "Verifying Network" message in the connection. The advisor section only tells me how to connect two routers together, not QuickVPN to my router.

    Thanks guys for the help. I got it working by plugging directly into the modem at home thereby going round my WRT54G router. That will not be an acceptable fix however. To answer your questions:
    acabanave wrote:
    Make sure no firewall installed on the computer.
    If the remote computer is behind a router try to connect your computer directly to your modem and connect to your quick vpn. Yes, you may try different location or different computer to further isolate the problem.
    What is the firmware of the WRVS4400n?
    Do you have public ip address for you wan ip address on your WRVS4400n?
    1. On an XP computer, it is hard not to have a firewall installed but I tried this with and without the windows firewall on and with the router was in placed, neither way worked. 2. It worked when plugged directly into the modem so the WRT54G must be doing something to block. Using GRC.com's port checker, I couldn't ever get port 443 to showup as being open while behind the router. 3. The office router, the WRVS4400A is using the latest firmware, 1.01.13. 4. The WRVS4400A has a public IP and it is static. OK, now that we know where the problem is, the main question seems to be: How do I open port 443 on the home router? I thought port forwarding was my answer but I guess that didn't work. Another question that I have now is, once I was connected via the VPN, what's the next step? I could only see a box on the screen that said I was connected, nothing about how to access the computer itself. Do I need something like RealVNC or Remote Desktop connection? Last question, can the WRT54G be made to open a tunnel to the WRVS4400A?
