Hello, RE305 is the range extender only, not the wireless router. 

 

It does not support VPN function, you can verify whether your main router supports it and how to enable it.

 

Good day.

Model: RE305

Hardware Version: v3.0

Firmware Version: 1.0.1 Build 20190221 Rel. 63495

 

 

Hello

 

I am also very much of a newby on vpn... 

I already have a NordVPN account and can't seem to find a way to set it up on my RE305

Is this do-able, and how? 

 

Many thanks in advance!

OK - I do use the RE305 as AP and more or less like a router, so I was just checking if there was a way thru the firmware to add the VPN function. Now I know. Thanks Kevin!
