vpn client is usually not needed as single user devices can run their own vpn clients , the issue is if you have a vpn client on the router all the traffic flows through the vpn and then you would want the ability to choose which do and which dont
if you want that type of configuration put the orbi in ap mode and run it behind an asus rt series router with merlin firmware on it
With all due respect installing a VPN router like WRDT Asus for Orbi to connect to just adds network delay and complexity. I bought Orbi to build a wireless mesh for my condo in Mexico to solve weak coverage. I like the ease of setup and it has greatly improved performance.
I understand support may receive more support calls but come on you have a good product why not make it a great one by adding a VPN client.
