Archer Air R5 VPN Issues

Hi,

I purchased the Archer Air R5 AX3000 router for the use of it's advertised VPN features and NordVPN.

The problem is when I log in to the router and setup OpenVPN, there is no option for username and password. The option to enter your VPN credentials is missing. Is there any way to get this router to work with popular VPNs such as NordVPN?

Hi,

As far as I can see the official product website for the Archer Air R5 https://www.tp-link.com/en/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-air-r5/ only advertises a "VPN Server" feature, but no "VPN Client" feature, which is what you would need in order to establish a VPN connection via NordVPN.
