Cisco RV160W Firewall Issues

TheChosenOne

Hi all,

 

Has anyone faced some strange issues with this model of router? I'm running the latest version of code and the setup is pretty simple:

  • 2 x /24 subnets with DHCP: 1 for wired and 1 for wireless;
  • openvpn server;
  • pppoe on WAN with NAT on the LAN;
  • remote access enabled over https over a non standard port.

 

The problem I'm facing is that I'm not terribly sure the firewall is working at all. 

In firewall I'm basically allowing any to any and I created a similar access rule to be on the safe side.

Sometimes, the box is reachable sometimes it is not by ICMP and https, this is totally random. If I reload the router, it will be reachable for around 30 seconds, and then will stop accepting the traffic. Tried this with fw enabled/disabled as well.

The feeling I have is that the box is not listening to all my input in the firewall rules. 

I know the internet connection is stable so i'm ruling this out.

I'm thinking to downgrade the firmware and give it another go.

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

N

I have this model since few days and as i already posted here I have got strange issues with 5GHz network in my situation my router has huge pings between 23:00 and 12:00 on 5GHz if you are interested please have a look my posts. I am wondering if you still using it?

I did not have any problems.
