Future Consideration wireguard client not working in beta version
Wireguard Client for Archer AX53 (AX3000) V1
Model: Archer AX53
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Archer AX53 V1 1.2.4 Build 20240509
Hello, I just purchased recently Archer AX53 AX3000 V1. I also updated with the latest official firmware available V1_1.2.4 Build 20240509.
Could you please release new firmware update that support wireguard Client function.
This would make TP-Links Routers a much Better service since the popularity of VPN's is increasing Each day and more people want to connect their router's to a VPN cause it's easier and more reliable and secure.
And I hope TP-Link would release a New Firmware for VPN Client feature.
Please pass it along to the development team and put this at a Top Priority if Possible.
Thank you for your consideration.

@Router_Review I just ordered an ax53 (I don't know if it's v1 or v2) and now I learn that it doesn't support wireguard client! ax20 was nearly 20% cheaper. do you recommend me to cancel it and order an ax20 instead or just wait for the update with you all?

your router is V1 because currently doesn't support Wireguard Client.
I contacted TP-Link global technical support and they said they will release the official firmware that support OpenVPN and Wireguard Client feature by the end of this year for AX53 AX3000 V1.
in the meantime you can try public beta firmware provided by TP-Link. There are 2 Public Beta firmware for AX53 V1. Below is the download link.

@Router_Review so v2 has both open vpn and wireguard at stable firmware level meanwhile v1 has openVPN at stable level and wireguard at beta level. do I get it right?
and what would you do if you were in my situation. I ordered v1 (I contacted seller and they said that) but they didn't ship it yet. would you take it as it is and use beta until a stable release or cancel it and order a V2 instead. almost same price but since it was a installment purchase, it will remain in my credit cart limit for a couple of months even if I cancel it.
is that beta working correctly? OP mentioned that he/she can't use wireguard vpn with beta release. what's wrong with beta release? is it broken or is it just specific to op?
and also, what's the difference between two versions besides that firmware stuff?

@wdoor as stated on TP-Link website https://www.tp-link.com/en/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax53/#specifications
Only AX53 V2 has OpenVPN and Wireguard "Client" feature.
Ax53 V1 currently is not support "VPN Client" on the stable firmware, it only support "VPN Server".
If you need VPN Client urgently, I think better cancel your order and order the ax53 V2 instead.
Here is the V1 and V2 datasheet :
https://static.tp-link.com/upload/product-overview/2022/202208/20220823/Archer%20AX53(EU)1.0_Datasheet.pdf
https://static.tp-link.com/upload/product-overview/2024/202401/20240116/Archer%20AX53(EU&US&RU)%202.0.pdf
as you can see from the datasheet the main difference are:
- Onemesh (v1) vs. Easymesh (v2)
- VPN Server (v1) vs. VPN Server & Client (v2)
- power 12v 1a (v1) vs. 12v 1.5a (v2)
etc..
the rest look similar.
