New Release Wi-Fi Routers Support WireGuard VPN Now
VPNs have grown a great deal over the past few years, and as a result, we have seen an increase in demand for alternative VPN options on TP-Link routers. WireGuard VPN could be one of the most popular VPNs that we are seeing in the public community and forums. We are excited to announce here that we do have some router models that support or plan to support WireGuard VPN feature, and there will be more in the near future.

Moderator Note:
1. WireGuard VPN availability may vary by region, even for the same model. Please check your local website for details.
2. The list above may not include all models and hardware versions. It is recommended to keep watching the firmware releases for your router, as WireGuard VPN and any new features will be noted in the patch notes if/when added to your version.
3. If you're installing a pre-release or beta version of firmware from the official threads, please ensure you read the Terms and Conditions for TP-Link Beta Firmware before proceeding!
For other models that are not listed above, there is currently no definitive information if WireGuard VPN would be possible or be available in the future, and we don't have any specific details that I can share around. It's suggested to keep an eye on the official website or on the router web GUI/Tether app for any new updates.
Welcome to leave your comment below if you want to see your router to be added to the supported list. Be sure to include the specific model number and hardware version when requesting. Thank you very much.

looking for Wireguard to be implemented in DECO x50 poe. Its a shame is not available since Wireguard became the standard protocol. another shame is that Wireguard is indirect available via Surfshark and Nordvpn, only. Im wondering if there is an agreement to look out other vpn company. Bad luck fpr people using cyberghoast.

This has been a bit frustrating. I purchased an AX5400 off of amazon mainly because this page suggested it was supported, but it seems that this is not the case. Support tickets seem to imply that I might just have to wait for a beta release?
I primarily wanted:
a) to not use openVPN - it's less performant and seems more vulnerable
b) not have to roll my own wg service
I can set up wireguard separately, but the primary reason I bought this was for simple config. I'm reading some suggestions for Microtik that look very promising.

Hello @robrage, thanks for asking.
Is the router model Archer AX72 Pro or AX5400 Pro? As you may see from the device list, AX72 Pro does not yet support WireGuard VPN and it's still planned. AX5400 Pro does support WireGuard VPN already, you may check the firmware release notes on the local website:
