Router: WRT3200ACM
BUILD: 55363

After 2 days of trying/reading ...its ON!!!

Nord instructions didn't work......VPN GUIDE here did....

I have included pix of the few things I changed after "up-loading" the config file from NORD

I check my IP and it changed on "WhatsmyIP"

Now the issue I don't like:

My Fios 500/500 is now 100/100 on both 2.4 & 5G wireless bands...

Is that normal or can I fix it?

Is normal you can fix it by ditching Nord and go with a provider offering Wireguard.

3X faster!

Yes really that is the only thing that works, WireGuard is three times faster than OpenVPN and much easier to setup

There is a workaround to get NordVPN using WireGuard on the router, it is described in the WireGuard client setup guide a sticky in this forum.

Just one thing EGC.....

will this work as the Nord on my router which encrypts all traffic or

will I have to set up each device separately?

Wireguard works just like OpenVPN, only faster.

You can configure it to encrypt all network traffic or only for certain clients.

Everything is possible and you don't have to configure anything on the clients as long as they are in your home network
