Do you know when the official version of the firmware will be released? Or an update of the BETA version?

  @Kevin_Z @Galicia86 Can a VPN Client with WireGuard be used on this too?

Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't see the vpn server instructions. Do we have to do anything with firewalls to allow access?

Hello @ex-nihilo, VPN protocols like OpenVPN often run on the same default ports: 443 for TCP and 1194 for UDP. If a firewall blocks these ports entirely, any VPN running exclusively on those ports will be blocked. So in this case, you need to check and allow the corresponding ports to pass through your firewall.

@peter23498 

 

As noted in the firmware page of the router, you will see this "Vx.0=Vx.6/Vx.8 (eg: V1.0=V1.6/V1.8)", so you can install the firmware on the 1.6 hardware.

 

However, if you are already on a newer 1.2.2 version, you cannot install this WireGuard beta firmware since it's a lower version. We will provide a new beta or official version in the future to add the WireGuard VPN, please wait.

  @Kevin_Z Much appreciated the update.

The user manual for the AX55 desperately needs an updated VPN section. Obviously WireGuard is not mentioned yet - but so are some of the other protocols.

 

I was able to set up the connection and access the router but somehow internet access was impossible (yes, I did enable DNS and the "access internet option").

Seems to be related to IP settings.

I notice that subnet mask is 255.255.255.255 - which seems unusal - and there was no default gateway set in ipconfig for that connection, for example.
