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!
4. For customized models and hardware for the Japanese market, WireGuard VPN will not be available in specific dialing modes like V6Plus and DS-Lite.
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.

I haven't heard that there is a VPN Client requirement on a range extender or repeater before.
What a range extender or repeater does is extend a wireless signal and allow all the data to go through, it's the gateway or router, the WiFi network is not under my control in your case, decides whether these encrypted data can pass trouble or not.

This is true, in my particular use case the WiFi network itself does support encrypted VPN traffic without issue. It works fine on laptops and phones directly connected to it...
The issue is how to connect a device that dosn't natively support VPN to the network.
It needs to have traffic routed via a different device that can handle the VPN. Tunneling

By now I think you should add wireguard support for ax11000. Still, it's hopeful to know you're interested in this. I would appreciate it if you do it as soon as possible. Thank you.
