VPN compatibility with Orbi AC2200;RBK20W
Firmware: v2.3.5.26 OS; MS Window 10 V1909 I am looking to install EXPRESS VPN; i see that there is some dialogue on this site regarding compatibility with VPN however, nothing specific.Can an...
Express VPN says that you can install the product on up to five devices at the same time.

I take this to mean any combination of laptops, desktops, smart phones, tablets, XBoxes, Roku's, etc. As long as there are no more than five running at any one time. This may be exactly what you want. So, "What's to lose?" They offer a 30-day trial. If you hate it, then quit.
Installing VPN Client software on a router means that every device connected to the router uses the VPN (which could be dozens. some Orbi users report over 50 devices connected). As far as I know, there is NO VPN Client software that can be installed on the Orbi product line. (There IS custom firmware for the Orbi RBR50 that includes VPN Client, but that's a whole different adventure.)
Ok Great thanks CrimpOn for this clarification much appreciated. So, it appears that this particular VPN would not be a good fit if, i wanted the other devices on this VPN. In fact, this feature of protecting up to 5 devices was what i was most intrqued with, Can you recommend a VPN that would be more compatible? Thanks again
