Connect NordVPN with Archer C80

Model: Archer C80

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.14.0 Build 240617 Rel.39521n(5553)

Hi everyone,

I need some assistance with connecting NordVPN to my TP-Link Archer C80 router. Currently, the VPN server menu only shows two options: L2TP/IPsec and Connections. Could anyone provide a detailed solution for setting up NordVPN on this router?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

Unfortunately, this is not possible.

To setup a connection to NordVPN you would need a router model that supports "VPN Client" functionality.

However, the Archer C80 V2 only supports "VPN Server", which is basically the opposite.

Besides, even if the C80 supported L2TP/IPSec "VPN Client" it still would be of no use for you, because NordVPN stopped supporting L2TP/IPSec years ago.
