I hooked up the T-Mobile NOK 5G21 (Gray Cylinder/ “trash can”) gateway, loaded the most recent firmware, and all was going relatively smoothly until someone in my family tried to use SSH/PuTTY. After having established a connection/session, about 5 minutes later, he saw a dialog pop up with a title that said “PuTTY Fatal Error” and a message that said “Network Error: Software caused connection abort”. He had been using Spectrum service through a Netgear R8000P router with no problems. 

Has anyone had similar issues or does anyone know how to fix this problem?

“PuTTY Fatal Error” and a message that said “Network Error: Software caused connection abort”.

 

Appears to be many possible solutions to this error, which can involve firewalls or connection issues.

 

A Google search may provide an answer for you.

 

Example, How to prevent connections from closing after a while in PuTTY.
