Upgraded ER707-M2 to Firmware 1.2.3 and Wireguard VPN went BOOM!
Upgraded ER707-M2 to Firmware 1.2.3 and Wireguard VPN went BOOM!
So the other night I upgraded my er707-m2 router from firmware version 1.2.2 to 1.2.3. Once this upgrade was complete the next day wireguard clients would no longer connect successfully to the server. I did see a couple of posts of people saying they had to delete and recreate the wireguard configurations in order for the clients to be able to connect again which leades to the below.
~While the er707 was on firmware ver 1.2.3
I deleted and recreated all the wireguard server and clients entries under the vpn tab .
I also deleted any acl that had reference to the wireguard network range that I use.
Once that was done the clients successfully handshake once or twice and vpn works.
However after that one or two times of being successfully connected and disconnected the clients no longer connect.
Wireguard Log on client when handshake fails.
Sending handshake initiation.... Handshake did not complete after 5 seconds, retryng.
~With the er707 downgraded and back on firmware ver 1.2.2
I deleted and recreated all the wireguard server and clients entries under the vpn tab again.
Once again with that done the clients successfully handshake once or twice and vpn works.
Then after that one or two times of being successfully connected and disconnected the clients no longer connect.
Also once again Wireguard Log on client when handshake fails.
Sending handshake initiation.... Handshake did not complete after 5 seconds, retryng.
~Should be noted I also downgraded the er707 back to firmware ver 1.2.1 with the same results and no Wireguard ACL's were recreated.
With the sporadic successfull connections I have gotten and being able to replicate the issue consistently I am not 100% whether this is router or wireguard configuration related. With that in mind my wireguard configuration on the server and clients worked for the last year with no problems or hiccups and I have double and triple checked the config for it multiple times.

Yeah I tried that before and after the factory reset on the router. Also before and after generating new keys for the server and client at this time nothing has changed.
I never should have updated the firmware router I guess...

You have already been plenty of help I was shown and told why my Wireguard config was wrong gaining a better understanding of it. As for the router I factory reset it one more time and destroyed a couple old 3.5in hdd I had with a sledge hammer. The hard drive and router were about a foot apart from each other on the floor so I think whatever gremlins were in it vibrated out or saw the light of day when the hard drive died of it's future. As of right now the router is functioning properly with the wireguard configuration that was made from your help and input. So time will tell over the next couple hours and days if it is truelly fixed but I would love to know why it broke the way it did in the first place after the firmware upgrade.
