quickly. The encryption method for OpenVPN will be returned to the
factory default settings if upgrading the firmware version from
V3.9.7.x to V4.3.1. It is recommended to upgrade firmware to
prevent potential errors.
Product Usage Instructions
To ensure security, it is recommended to change the passwords
for admin login and VPN profiles after upgrading the firmware.
To enable daylight saving time, go to the settings and enable
the automatic option.
To configure routing options, go to Routing >> Route
Policy and choose between Session-Based and IP-Based modes.

If you were experiencing issues with OpenVPN, such as buffer
& socket leakage or low IPv6 throughput for subnets other than
LAN1, these issues have been corrected in the latest firmware
version.
If you encountered problems with WAN (static IP) reconnecting
often in HA hot standby mode, router reboots when APM sends the
profile to AP frequently, DHCP WAN frequent disconnection with a
specific ISP, missing WAN IP Alias interface selection in Service
Status Setup page, failure to dial-up NordVPN cloud server via
OpenVPN LAN-to-LAN, HotSpot Web Portal profiles’ settings
disappearing after a reboot, or NAT loopback traffic being blocked
incorrectly when Firewall Default Rule is set to Block, these
issues have been addressed in the latest firmware version.
If you were facing issues with Vigor Router’s local service
being blocked incorrectly, USB thermometer (TEMPer1F_V3.4) not
being detected correctly after a reboot, Let’s Encrypt –
Certificate Auto Renew failure, or failure to access Vigor router
via HTTP/HTTPS from LAN and WAN, these issues have been resolved in
the latest firmware version.
However, please note that the web portal may cause the router to
be too busy to respond quickly. Additionally, if you upgrade the
firmware from V3.9.7.x to V4.3.1, the encryption method for OpenVPN
will be returned to factory default settings. It is recommended to
upgrade the firmware to prevent potential errors.

Known Issue
The web portal may cause the router to be too busy to respond quickly. The encryption method for OpenVPN will be returned to the factory default settings if
upgrading the firmware version from V3.9.7.x to V4.3.1. To prevent potential errors when upgrading firmware, it is recommended to upgrade
firmware sequentially one version at a time. (e.g., if the current firmware is 3.9.1, upgrade to 3.9.2 then 3.9.7.2, and last 4.3.2). When the firmware is downgrading via “System Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade”, one might have a chance to experience a config compatibility error, which causes the config of a certain function to return to the default setting. To avoid this error, “System Maintenance >> Configuration Export >> Restore Firmware with config” is the preferred way for firmware “downgrading”. We suggest backup the config file before upgrading any firmware as well.
