@Drtic I saw videos of lower models with VPN and ordered this thinking that this is priced higher. It is sad that router at this cost missing that feature.

Contacted the seller and they say the replacement cannot be done as VPN server is not promised as part of the feature list. Technically yes. But usually you assume what is available on a lower model will be provided in a higher model. It is a disappointment to stuck with a higher priced model with a feature missing than a lower price model.

like everyone else, I am wanting the VPN option.

 

I understand the official response about returning it to the reseller, but mine (Fry's) shut down shortly after I bought it!

 

As screenshots in this thread document, the router was advertised as supporting it, so it's absence is considered a defect, and replacement for a functional device should be covered under warranty.

 

Or if dev team could add the functionality via the firmware, that would be easier for all of us.

@Drtic 

 

Can someone from TP link at least acknowledge that the request is seen? Then a second step would be to either accept or decline, would be great to know what to expect for the short term future.

 

Thanks

I need that too.
I just bought it today now, after seeing all these I can’t control my anger to destroy the router.

I found another variant of the C80. Archer A6 V3 and Archer A6 V3.20. These 2 models with AC1200 have OpenVPN. The C80 is being treated unfairly and OpenVPN hasn't come to the C80 for months.

 

Archer C80 (US) and Archer A6 V3 (US/TW model)

@Zer01ne I'm also thinking of switching to models like the Archer AX3200 (including brands other than TP-Link).

@Zer01ne TP-Link's sub-brand Mercusys' AC1900 router and Archer C80/A6 V3 are siblings. OpenVPN is still absent, but more languages ​​have been added with the WPA3 update. @Kevin_Z
