Tags: #VPN #WireGuard
Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.9 Build 20210322 rel.73262

It would be awesome if a home router allows basic wireguard management from its ui.

Some pros,

  • Really light weight on resources
  • Works on UDP - immune to network scanning
  • Modern and available on all platforms
  • Easy on boarding via QR codes/config files
  • Supports seamless roaming - which is best feature of wireguard imo

 

Cons,

  • Only available on newer linux kernels

Thank you all for posting on the TP-Link community, and we certainly appreciate all your feedback and feature request(s) here.

 

As confirmed with our product team, we are informed that there are some models would receive firmware update to support WireGuard VPN in the future, and I have opened a thread to announce that, please have a check:

Wi-Fi Routers that are Planned to support WireGuard VPN

 

When we receive more information on WireGuard VPN on the routers, I will also update the thread. I would like to recommend subscribing to the above thread and keep an eye out for any announcement on our announcement thread for any updates that might be released for WireGuard VPN.

 

Please be sure to include the specific model and hardware version of the TP-Link router when you're requesting a new feature, then we would also publish here in the community forum to let you know if that is available.

 

Do not hesitate to reach out if you still have further issues or concerns.

Weirgard is the most up-to-date vpn for today.

Not having his support is a shame.

It is urgent to add its support to the latest routers that have a VPN client, such as ax73, ax55, etc.

For your Archer C6 you can go the OpenWRT way, it has Wireguard support.

 

As for the newer ones, since they are Broadcom Based.... I wouldn't keep my hopes high

Wireguard is a faster option for OpenVPN, especially for router with 1.5Ghz CPU! The best OVPN can do on a 1.5ghz cpu router (AX90) is 45mbps!
