Official Wi-Fi Routers Support WireGuard VPN Now
VPNs have grown a great deal over the past few years, and as a result, we have seen an increase in demand for alternative VPN options on TP-Link routers. WireGuard VPN could be one of the most popular VPNs that we are seeing in the public community and forums. We are excited to announce here that we do have some router models that support or plan to support WireGuard VPN feature, and there will be more in the near future.

Note :
1. You will need to perform a firmware upgrade on your router when the official firmware is released.
2. Be sure you have read the Terms and Conditions for TP-Link Beta Firmware before proceeding!
3. Planned***: Kindly note that Planned is NOT a guarantee, as the plan can be adjusted or changed. Planned is also not recommended for your purchase reference if the requested feature is the main consideration. It's suggested to choose one that already supports the features you require when purchasing. The list above is subject to change and might not include all models and hardware versions. We will update it once there are new models or hardware available.
For other models that are not listed above, there is currently no definitive information if WireGuard VPN would be possible or be available in the future, and we don't have any specific details that I can share around. It's suggested to keep an eye on the official website or on the router web GUI/Tether app for any new updates.
Welcome to leave your comment below if you want to see your router to be added to the supported list. Be sure to include the specific model number and hardware version when requesting. Thank you very much.

@Kevin_Z, if you are still around, would be helpful to everyone if you can update on the timeline for those plans on the front page 😅
Not meant to be pessimistic but it's basic requirements nowadays for any plans to have a revert/done by date so as to enable meaningful tracking/feedback etc ✌️
After all, a plan without any deadline, might as well not plan, get my driff 😉

PLEASE provide at least a FW with latest openvpn
Better... a clear deadline when we can expect a firmware with:
- Latest openvpn for openvpn client
- Latest wireguard for wireguard client.
TP-Link could make a difference to all competetors by that way.
I mean, the AX11000 is the flagship and most expensive router of TP-LINK.

It's way too late.
You are celebrating the addition of every new model as if it's some sort of breakthrough.
ASUS routers have supported WireGuard for a long time now, all models, and simultaneously with OpenVPN and others, many servers and clients for different protocols can run at the same time, as well as native TOR support, also at the same time. Support for secure DNS, and assigning clients (LAN nodes) to different DNS configurations, as well as to different VPN a clients, or via CIDR addressing.
GL.iNet routers too, and these are even in a travel router category, but a powerful and advanced little devices!
These brands are in the same price category as TP-Link and they support so much more, that TP-Link seems like it's stiil in the Stone Age.
I really do wonder why people who are interested in these features even bother with TP-Link. There is a whole another world out there where so much more is available and possible, and I am not talking about any sort of high-end or professional routers.
I used to have TP-Link router when I was in dark. Just a memory of its web interface or mobile app — what a joke they are, made for housewives.

Nope. Here we just list some of the Wi-Fi Router models that we've confirmed with the related department. We haven't confirmed with the team who is responsible for Deco. I believe Deco will also support WireGuard in the near future. We will start a thread to announce that when there are Deco models support WireGuard. Please wait.

After 8 months no FW wit wireguard and latest openvpn client support.
openvpn in actual FW is outdated as well.

What is the model of your router, please?
Currently, we only have the listed models that support WireGuard VPN.
The good news is that our developers are working to add support for connecting the Archer router or Deco to some popular WireGuard VPN servers as a client, which may improve the VPN connection even quicker.
Here is an example of configuring NordVPN WireGuard on the Deco App. We will publish the FAQs to show you how to connect the Archer routers to the WireGuard VPN servers. Stay tuned.

Actually if I remembered correctly, apart from the AX55, which started this thread, the rest of the planned devices actually had no progress at all.
Those added on devices, which supposedly saw fw introduction were just added on from the sky 😇
Can't help but wonder, why still no timeline despite requests for it??? 🤔
