AX1800 can't create a VPN Client via Tplink web app
Hello,
I am trying to connect to a VPN (VPN Client) via my AX1800 Dual Band wifi 6 router by creating a VPN Client for OpenVPN and connect it to a VPN service provider.
The issues is I can only see an option to create a VPN Server.
My Firmware version is: 1.0.5 Build 20220729 Rel. 38157(4555)
My Hardware version is:
Archer AX1800 v1.20
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Does the white sticker on the backside of the router truly say "Archer AX1800(**) Ver: 1.20"?
The firmware version you posted doesn't seem to match with the ones I can find for that model.

Hi @AX1800DualB,
For routers support VPN client, you can see the VPN client compatible list. The Archer AX1800 is not in the list.

Hello,
Isn't the AX 20 also AX1800?
Are you sure its firmware can't be update to support a VPN client?
Thank you in advance

TP-Link offers several router models of the AX1800 class, like the "Archer AX20", "Archer AX21", "Archer AX23" and "Archer AX1800", but they differ in hardware and features and hence each has its own dedicated firmware.
I don't know how it works at TP-Link, but usually it would be up to the marketing department to decide which features each product (i.e. model) should have.

Thank you @Joseph-TP and @woozle
I was able to find an old community post from 2021 (https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/265680 )
in which at post #6 @mjheaberlin did offer a solution: "They provided me with beta firmware ax1800-v1.20-1.3.1-20210817 which resolved the issue."
The link where @mjheaberlin found AX1800 supported a VPN client: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/272492
Do you know if that firmware is available for download and if it will still work: allow and AX1800 to support a VPN client?

Hi @AX1800DualB,
What you provided is the experience sharing of users from the US region, and you are most likely using the US version of Archer AX1800. Currently, the US version of Archer AX1800 has gradually supported the VPN client function.If you are using the EU version, this function is not supported yet.
We certainly appreciate all your feedback and feature request(s) here. While we don't have any specific details, but I'll make sure to log this feature request and pass it along to the team.
I'm moving this conversation into the ‘Feature Request (Routers)' area.
Feel free to let us know of any other feature requests you may have, we’d be happy to send them up for you.
