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.

It's way too late.
You are celebrating the addition of every new model as if it's some sort of breakthrough.
ASUS routers have supported WireGuard for a long time now, all models, and simultaneously with OpenVPN and others, many servers and clients for different protocols can run at the same time, as well as native TOR support, also at the same time. Support for secure DNS, and assigning clients (LAN nodes) to different DNS configurations, as well as to different VPN a clients, or via CIDR addressing.
GL.iNet routers too, and these are even in a travel router category, but a powerful and advanced little devices!
These brands are in the same price category as TP-Link and they support so much more, that TP-Link seems like it's stiil in the Stone Age.
I really do wonder why people who are interested in these features even bother with TP-Link. There is a whole another world out there where so much more is available and possible, and I am not talking about any sort of high-end or professional routers.
I used to have TP-Link router when I was in dark. Just a memory of its web interface or mobile app — what a joke they are, made for housewives.

@Kevin_Z does this mean no plans for the mesh routers is in discussion? I have the Deco XE75.
Thank you
Nope. Here we just list some of the Wi-Fi Router models that we've confirmed with the related department. We haven't confirmed with the team who is responsible for Deco. I believe Deco will also support WireGuard in the near future. We will start a thread to announce that when there are Deco models support WireGuard. Please wait.

What is the model of your router, please?
Currently, we only have the listed models that support WireGuard VPN.
The good news is that our developers are working to add support for connecting the Archer router or Deco to some popular WireGuard VPN servers as a client, which may improve the VPN connection even quicker.
Here is an example of configuring NordVPN WireGuard on the Deco App. We will publish the FAQs to show you how to connect the Archer routers to the WireGuard VPN servers. Stay tuned.

Actually if I remembered correctly, apart from the AX55, which started this thread, the rest of the planned devices actually had no progress at all.
Those added on devices, which supposedly saw fw introduction were just added on from the sky 😇
Can't help but wonder, why still no timeline despite requests for it??? 🤔

@Kevin_Z Please add Wireguard server support to the flagship BE95/BE33000. This hardware actually has a legitimate use case for the higher throughput that Wireguard affords over other solutions such as OpenVPN and the capability to take advantage of it. It should be a relatively simple solution to add. Thanks!

No worries. I believe there will be more models supporting WireGuard VPN in the near future. Once any of the Deco models support it, we will also publish a thread to inform you.
