Hello leep58,
Would you mind explaining what "FLASH" means? Meanwhile, here is an article you may use to enable VPN on your Orbi router using and Android or iOS device.

The only router I am aware of with stock firmware supporting client VPN is made by ASUS. Some of their upper end routers also support mesh. I use two 68u Asus routers in mesh mode behind the Orbi.
