Hi All, Happy New Year, bit late, but still....
Well I picked this router, Still using a RTAC86U as well, but for a year now been using the RTAX86U without much problems, the VPN did match the speed of my ISP gave, think it was around same speed, every new contract the speed goes up, I'm with Virgin Media and 02 mobile, so that doubled the speed to 200, then it went to 250, think at 250 did see a little drop of the straight through with VPN on.
Then this time around a 18 month contract costing less, they gave me 350, , so I start testing the new speed and straight away I i see a big drop via VPN, and was wondering if it was something I did, contacted NordVpn read a lot of pages, seams the CPU speed wont do much more that 200, little more at times.
So I was wondering if there is another Asus Router that would give me a much faster throughput via VPN. Inside the router settings, the same web page is built in, its saying 387.67 Mbps, P2P would be great at that speed, and other downloads, also my speed is eaten up with all the smart gadgets around the house.
One other thing, the RT-AX86U is the only one, I do have another router the old RT-AC86U still working, but I made use of the WIFI 6 etc with the AX, SO its time to look for another router to replace that, so why not see if I can do better, its getting rather full with all the echo dots and printers, also have Philips (Signify) lights and a ZigBee interface V3 before Amazon started with there's version of ZigBee, so now a lot of ZigBee devices are on the Echo Show and some still on the ZigBee Interface . Just saying I have a lot of hungry gadgets, while I shouldn't complain, its all working good, I need more, for the future perhaps.
Also for some reason, maybe too many gadgets on same router, the WIFI thermostat stops working (Randomly), need to reboot to get it working again, not had much luck with ZigBee ones, so carry on with this one.
well lots of useless information, other than to say, locally using a lot of the bandwidth available, even TV is connected to a NAS for streaming MKV files
SO ! is there a Asus Router that has a faster/better CPU and can decode the VPN quicker? my 2, they both have the latest Merlin Farmwear, I've never bothered before, until my ISP gave me 350Mbps, as the speed via VPN was always close to WAN speed.
Thanks for reading, anybody getting have any recommendations, thanks
John
