Model: Archer AX1800  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: .1.0 Build 20230725 Rel. 55602(5553)

I bought this router specifically to set up NordVPN with. The website advertised that it had VPN Client and that it was possible. However, after attempting I see that it is no longer supported. Why is this and is there a way to downlgrade so that I can accomplish this?

Hi, upon checking, Archer AX1800 V4 doesn't support VPN Client and our official website doesn't mentioned VPN Client either for this model.

May I know where you saw VPN Client is supported? Please share with us the screenshot and link to have a check.
 

In addition, it is recommanded to connect NordVPN on your client device directly.

  @Sunshine This is actually posted right here on the community so it's a bit confusing as to what the differences are. I just purchased a router, arrived today, and was going to setup a vpn client. And saw it was missing. Now I'm going to be returning it.

and when you select the `vpn client` filter on the tp-link website you get the following which shows the AX21 and links to the AX21 page

  @miRouterpls connections I guess it has a grace period and you have used up that time but have not renewed it.

Most probably the confusion comes from the fact that AX21 v3 supports VPN Client but AX21 v4 doesn't.

This has been observed in some other router models like AX20 - there are some changes between different HW versions for the same router model.
