Which routers are compatible with NordVPN?

NordVPN is compatible with a wide array of routers; however, it works best with those that support OpenVPN as a client since NordVPN operates primarily on this protocol. Brands like Asus, Linksys, Netgear, and TP-Link offer models that can be configured with NordVPN. Specifically, Asus routers are often recommended due to their native support for VPN client mode right out of the box. For users to set up NordVPN on their routers, they either need to have firmware that supports VPN connections (such as ASUSWRT) or they may need to flash their router with third-party firmware such as DD-WRT or Tomato to expand their router’s capabilities if the factory firmware does not support VPN connections. It's crucial to confirm that the selected router model supports VPN client mode because not all routers have this functionality.
