@Telboy99 You can't use BBC iPlayer outside of the UK, even with a VPN.
I don't know what a "devo" is though

ImtiazAli, thanks for the quick response but I can get these working on VPN e.g. Amazon Firesticks or VPN on the PC.
Using the same VPN provider, I used the OpenVPN file and loaded it into the TP-Link DECO X50, but there must be something else I am missing for iPlayer.

Hi, Thanks for the update.
Do you mean, if you establish the VPN connection directly on the Amazon Firesticks/PC, you are able to use BBC iPlayer? However, if Deco works as the ExpresVPN client and selecting Amazon Firesticks/PC as the OpenVPN client, they are unable to use BBC iPlayer?
Can I have a screenshot of the error message on the Amazon Firesticks/PC when they failed to access BBC iPlayer?
Wait for your reply and best regards.

Sorry, I didn't make this very clear.
If I install ExpressVPN on a PC or a Firestick, that works and I can get the iPlayer on the PC.
However, if I do not have ExpressVPN on the PC or Firestick but install ExpressVPN (OpenVPN file) onto the X50 Deco router and it connects to the same location as ExpressVPN on the PC, and then set the PC to use the VPN in the Deco setup etc. The iPlayer does not work, however, if I perform a WHERE AM I via IP address, it states I am in the UK.
So I am wondering if there's another setting I need e.g. a port to enable/disable or something.

Hi, Thanks for the update.
I don't think there is any extra configurations on the Deco.
Have you tried to following suggestions:
