New Release 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.

Moderator Note:
1. WireGuard VPN availability may vary by region, even for the same model. Please check your local website for details.
2. The list above may not include all models and hardware versions. It is recommended to keep watching the firmware releases for your router, as WireGuard VPN and any new features will be noted in the patch notes if/when added to your version.
3. If you're installing a pre-release or beta version of firmware from the official threads, please ensure you read the Terms and Conditions for TP-Link Beta Firmware before proceeding!
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.

Everyone, who are tuning in and still waiting (hoping) for new firmware with wireguard support. Sadly, but it is pointless to wait. This ticket is old, if your router have not yet received firmware upgrade... there wont be an upgrade for this feature.
Better to stop wasting your time and hoping on TP, buy another router from different company which supports wireguard and most likely will have better support/assistance with device.

@Sunshine It shouldn't be this hard for an advertised out-of-the-box feature to function. I created a separate ticket. However, the energy required to solve this is likely better spent on a product that actually does what I need without the fuss. I don't imagine I will recoup the money and time invested in this either. It's a bad situation. I'm bummed out.

The post has been edited and the "Planned" table has been removed. Could you please tell us if this means that adding WireGuard support for the models listed in that table is no longer planned?

@sven_spb Thanks for joining the discussion here with WireGuard VPN.
We removed the planned list because we are also not sure when or whether other models will receive a firmware update that adds WireGuard VPN, and we don't want to confuse the community by listing those models in the forum.
If a model gets WireGuard VPN supported, it will be listed in the firmware release notes explicitly. Please keep an eye on the official website or your router web GUI for any newer firmware updates. When new models are released with WireGuard VPN, we will also update the list on a regular basis.

In the end, don't trust TP-Link after this stunt. My last and only TP-Link router. No firmware updates after 2 years, in table it was said that wireguard would come, years later. Naaah, scrap it. Make them buy another device.
I do Hope people will see this post before they buy this brand device for vpn clients, sad, sad...
Thanks for the fish.
