Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.9 Build 20250110 Rel. 65349

I purchased this unit because I wanted to impliment OpenVPN.  I have seen the YouTube videos on how to configure, but i dont seem to have the capability.  My ADVANCED menu is very simple and doesnt give me VPN options

  @David-TP Thanks for your reply.

 

I figured it out last night.  I was replacing an older DECO model (AC1200) that did not have VPN capabilty.  I had deleted and and then reloaded my app on my iphone, but not my iPad (forgot that I had it on there.  

 

When I deleted it, my phone app seemed to give me that feature.

  @BrentLE 

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

Did you set Deco into "WiFi Router" or "Access Point" mode under Deco App>More>Advanced?

VPN feature is only available under WiFi router mode.

Best regards.
