Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20220714 rel.75573

I currently have an AC1750 (A7) with 2 One Mesh devices (AC1200, AC750).

I want to add VPN Client abilities to my network, and the BE230 seems to supply that plus several nice upgrades to my current A7.

Is it possible to seemelessly upgrade to this router without having to remarry all of my WIFI devices (currently there are 19 devices connected)?  Having to reconfigure every one of those will be a nightmare.

 

So anyway, can I upgrade without reconfiguring all of my wifi devices?

Will my current One mesh devices work with the new router as well?

No...

 

If you use the same SSIDs and passwords, most devices will connect without issues. Some may require you to delete (forget) the network on the  device such as a phone or tablet. 
 

The specs for that router shows it supports easymesh not onemesh.

  @ArcherC8 Which newer routers with VPN Client ability support One mesh?  When I did the search on the TP Link page I selected One mesh support and this was one of the routers listed in my search?

My search for 'tp link routers onemesh' shows the BE800 and BE550 routers but if you look at the routers specs, it says easymesh.

 

I would go with the routers specs or what is on the box.
