How do Install my VPN on Netgear router?

Hello,

My model was not listed in the drop down list. I have the Nighthawk AX6 AX4300 router and am trying to install my IPvanish I can't find any directions anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

    Did you check IPVanish's site? 

    you install it on your individual device (phone/computer/etc).

    Not on your router.

    There's a label on the thing. That would probably be the RAX45 or RAX50.

     

    It sure ain't the A7000|Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter in your footer.

    I apologize, my main router I'm trying to setup IPvanish VPN on is C7800|Nighthawk X4S-AC3200. Does anyone know if this is possible?

    Thanks

    I also have the RAX45 which I guess runs the Armor VPN.

      No you can't install IPvanish on the C7800 or the RAX45. 

      IPvanish has a list of routers on their site they support. 

      https://www.ipvanish.com/vpn-setup/routers/#routers-setup

       

      Neither of those routers is on there. IPvanish is 3rd party firmware. You'd have to ask them if they'll ever support the RAX devices. 

      The C7800 is a modem/router combo device and the firmware is locked by the ISP.
