Model: Archer BE230  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.3 Build 20241211 rel.47943(4555)

I have set up a wireguard server and added an account(iphone), the account can access devices on the local network and ping devices while connected through wireguard but can not reach the internet despite having 'Internet and home network' slected in the configuration page. My internet set up has a vlan ID so I am wondering if that may be the root cuase.

 

 

WireGuard page:

TpLink-wireguard-page

Hi@thomas_l,

The firmware that you are using should resolve the issue mentioned here in this topic regarding no internet when the router is connected to NordVPN via the VPN client. Please reboot the router for a try.

Hi,

 

I don't know if the VLAN ID could cause this problem.

 

However, it has been discovered on a couple of router models that having "DNS Privacy" set to DoT or DoH can cause the issue you described. So, you might want to check that and if applicable, set "DNS Privacy" to None for the time being.

  @woozle Hi,

 

Thank you for the suggestion. I have just tested with DNS privacy disabled but the issue persists so the issue is elsewhere.

Hi, the issue is with a wireguard server. Not a client to a NordVPN service.

I am going to add more context so hopefully the issue can be understood better. 

 

The client device cannot access the internet while connected to the wireguard server despite the wireguard settings being home and internet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Below you can see an attmped google search that will never work

 

 

but if I enter the routers IP address I can access the router.
