I currently have Orbi RBR50 and two RBS50 system in my home. I would like ot set up a VPN Router for my entire home network instead of installing on each device. I understand Orbi does not come equipped to set up as a VPN Router. Could I buy a separate "VPN Ready" Router, like Netgear R7000, and set it up as my router? If so, would I hardwire RBR50 to router and then use a AP and mesh in with the RBS's? Other advice/input is welcome. Thank you.
The Nighthawk R7000 has the same OpenVPN Host capability as the Orbi. It allows the user to access the home network from the internet.
What you are asking for is the opposite. I am not aware that any Netgear routers support VPN "client" to tunnel every device in the local network to the internet.
Each of the VPN service providers has a reference on their web site about which routers support their VPN. For example, NordVPN has this page:
