  @shawnshawn  You are welcome! I am glad finally Tp-link accepted my VPN Client feature request for AX53 V1.

long story, not only posted a thread at tplink community,  I also contacted TP-Link global support on last October 2024 and the good things R&D team approved my request after long consideration.

 

I hope the official release later even better than this pre-release firmware.

Because in my opinion this pre-release still missing some important features such as DoT/DoH and Eco Mode.

Hi, First of all, thank you very much for this amazing pre-release firmware, I hope that the release will come soon.
I installed the firmware, the router works fine, but I have some troubles when I try to create a new WireGuard VPN Client profile.
I'm not able to create it because the UI continuosly block me saying that the Server Address has an invalid format.

I introducing something like this: 172.111.222.33 What am I doing wrong?

I already used these wireguard profile information many times to connect to my WireGuard provider.

 

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:
I made it work, using the CIDR notation so using the same example  172.111.222.33/32 it worked.

As I suggestion I would add some place holders in each field to be filled in with an example, in this case 1.2.3.4/32.

Also, maybe if a simple IP for instance 1.2.3.4 is provided the default behaviour could be to use 1.2.3.4/32.

Great job again.

Cheers.

I really need the EasyMesh in AP mode as controller feature for the AX53. Is that currently on the roadmap?

Hello !

@Kevin_Z 

Did the Wireguard Server feature got tested for AX53 V1 ?

I have a very weird behavior when I try to setup the Wireguard server. Indeed, after the usual easy configuration and the profile export, my client apparently connects (It shows in the connection tab), but I can't reach anything from the client (at least it can't load any page, wether local pages or on the internet). But meanwhile, in a very weird manner, it looks like it can ping local and WAN ips when I try to do so from a cmd in my windows client or from pingtest app in my android client. Something to also note is that the pages I try to load always look like "they're trying to load something", but finally don't.

 

Thank you to help me if you're able to reproduce this behavior.

Hi,

 

Just for your information, the WireGuard server works fine for me with firmware version 1.3.1 on the AX53 V1.

 

By the way, have you set "DNS Enabled" to on or off in the WireGuard server settings?

Hey @woozle and thank you for the reply !

To be honest I've tested many settings, including with DNS enabled and disabled. During my last tries, I left it enabled. I've also tested with different values for the MTU etc.

 

By the way, tring to ping "google.com" domain works while using the client profile even though I can't reach a single page or start a speed test.

The behavior is so weird, I don't understand. And my ISP keeps telling me nothing's blocked from its side. Also I checked that I wasn't behind an ISP CGNAT and I'm definitely not.

 

Other weird example, while connected, the speed test app loads during a long time and generally shows me my home network provider's name but can't start sthe actual speed test.

 

Here are a few screenshots of what I'm talking about. This is so disconcerting to be honest.

 

Thank you for helping, it's really appreciated :)
