I’m looking to use a VPN for streaming. I currently have a Archer AX21 TP link router. Currently when I use a VPN, I’ve just done it directly on the computer but I’d like to be able to just use my roku and it sounds like i need to set my VPN up on my router for that. I have looked up some articles but am a bit overwhelmed. I want to be able to pick my location while doing this. What is the best way to do this and how would i change locations for the router side?
Your router isn’t really a good choice for vpn stuff. It is a broadcom chipset that doesn’t support custom firmware, and there are different versions of your router with varying levels of vpn support. Apparently the v3 version has some support, while the v4 version does not.
If you want to have the vpn connection on your router I would suggest one with native wireguard support. You can then typically download a config from your vpn provider, import it with the router, and be on your way.
Dang. I have version 1.26 according to the sticker. Does that help me at all?
I do have a vpn option in my settings and I tried to do it but either I did it wrong or it doesn’t work.
