VPN Installation

I want to install a VPN on my EE Smart  Hub Router, namely Express VPN. I can install it on certain individual devices in my network but not on the router itself. When I go into the VPN section of the router it says " Your EE Smart Hub has been designed to work with most VPN (virtual private network) software." that is all. I contacted EE and they said they couldn't help.

EE's routers cannot be configured as VPN clients.

@BLUEZULU   You install VPN clients on the devices using the access point ie your router.  You can not install VPNs on the router.   

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

Thanks, I thought as much, saves me any further searching

Thanks Chris, apparently a VPN can be installed on a router to cover all the connected devices but just not on a EE router
