NORD VPN - is there a reasonable priced router that works with it and Orbi?
Hi i have a very small consultancy in the U.K. and Italy and swop between locations - I chose Nord VPN as I am not tecky and the reviews were good, similarly I chose the Orbi RBR50 and mesh extender...
You might review this setup:

Hi - many thanks
Just to check - you are recommending a Netgear R7000 router for me to connect the Orbi RBR50 to. I had contacted Netgear and they had told me none of their routers were compatible with Nord VPN, though another community posting had talked about flashing the router with third party firmware - which I was hoping to avoid. So, with the setting changes in the reply, no flashing needed and it all works? Sorry, for the idiot questions, I just want to ensure I don't buy something else that doesn't work together!
mamy thanks again

I would make contact with the users in that forum thread to see what was all done and if all is still working. The R7000 was what they used. There are newer model routers that may support VPN, though not sure if NORD will work specifically. There is R7800 and R8000 series routers as well which I would check into. I would also contact NordVPN and ask them what specifically works for there product.
Hi
Many thanks for the reply, yes I initially contected Netgear and they told me none of their routers worked with Nord VPN! As there are many makes of router I was initially thinking someone would know of an alternative make compatible with the Orbi and Nord.
Thanks again
