I don't understand anything about routers. Where to start?

First, find out what firmware is installed on your router. To do this, go to the router settings at 192.168.1.1 (there may be a different address) and check your router model, revision number, firmware version. Usually the connection address is indicated on a label stuck on the router. The label may also indicate the router model and revision number (usually Rev. A or Rev. B).

I found out the firmware version, but it doesn't work

Standard stock firmware of routers does not always have the ability to connect modern VPN protocols. Some outdated router models can be updated to modern alternative firmware. You must strictly follow the instructions to update the firmware, otherwise you may break the router.
