Hi I'm new here.

I'm trying to connect an Asus RT-AX3000 with a Navigateworx NR300 using IPSEC (NR300 is using 4G). First I test my IPSEC server by connecting an iphone and it works, but when I try to connect my NR300 it doesn't work. Checking in the IPSEC log from the Asus i can't see what is the problem.

Can someone help me or guide me? The only thing that catches my attention is that it says "Received DELETE for IKE_SA Host-to-NET"
Thank you in advance.

Sounds like more an issue with your VPN device than a router issue. What settings have you tried (e.g. IKE version, Authentication Method, etc.)?
 
On the asus router I used IKE V1 and V2 and a pre-shared key (don't know if you can edit the settings, it's a super basic menu on my router)
On the NR300 i used the next configuration:

without PSK the router Asus show this:

Sorry, I'm just shooting in the dark: I don't see any users listed in your config.
 
I have 4 users, router and router 2 users are for the NR300, i tried with V1 and V1 & V2.

I'm sorry, I'm out of ideas. I use IKE v2 so I can't compare my logs with yours to see where they may diverge.
