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...

thanks
NordVPN has a web page that specifies routers that are compatible and easy to set up: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1087269942/Which-router-should-I-use-with-NordVPN.htm There are tons of less costly solutions (including Netgear routers), but most them involve using 3rd party firmware on the router. Nerds like us LOVE doing this. (My hunch is that you would not.)

Hi
yes - you are right! I seek the simple life where software and hardware connect with the minimum of effort and you only have to replace things when they wear out rather than no longer able to connect.... (crazy eh). Yup, I did check that out - and yes that is where I saw Nord also saying the Netgear Orbi was not compatible and people talking about scary stuff over flashing 3rd party software onto routers.... I was hoping someone had identified a different brand of router that would talk to the Orbi router so the Orbi became an access point(?) and would allow me to install Nord...
Thanks
