• Maximum number of supported VLANs increased from 8 to 32
• Maximum number of concurrent firewall connections increased from 60,000 to 250,000
• NAT loopback is supported on both the same VLAN and across different VLANs
• IPSec profile supports up to 10 different encryption algorithms for Phase 1 and Phase 2 options
• IPSec client-to-site VPN tunnels are now supported:
  • A single VPN tunnel configuration is supported. However, this single configuration allows up to 60 VPN users to connect securely over VPN tunnels.
  • Supported security methods:
    • IKEv1 PSK + XAUTH
    • IKEv2 PSK
    • IKEv2 EAP - MSCHAPv2

Security Fixes:

• This firmware addresses security vulnerabilities. For more information about security vulnerabilities, visit https://www.netgear.com/about/security.

Bug Fixes:

This firmware addresses the following bugs:

• Fixes the issue where NAT loopback does not work when the server and client are connected to the same LAN port.
• Fixes the issue where the DDNS UI page no longer displays the Dynamic DNS profiles when the host name or user name is configured without an actual name.
• Fixes the issue where an IPSec site-to-site tunnel through a PPPoE WAN port reports as connected but you cannot ping devices through the port.
• Fixes the issue where you cannot search attached devices on a LAN port.

Known Issues:

This firmware contains the following known issues:

• In a Dual WAN configuration, an IPSec tunnel shows the status as “UP” on the secondary WAN interface while the primary WAN interface is active.
  Workaround: The IPSec tunnel works on the active WAN interface; the other tunnel is for backup.
• With more than one VLAN configured, the IP address of a connected client does not update after the LAN IP address changes.
  Workaround: Disconnect the network cable from the LAN port and reconnect it.
• The time stamp of a syslog entry is not adjusted according to the local time zone.
  Workaround: Interpret the log events in the system time.
