So bear with me if you will.
I'm trying to decide between these 2 routers (R7000 and AC68U) which I will use DD-WRT or Merlin to connect to my Private Internet Access VPN service so that I can access other region Netflix and of course surf anonymously. I think this may be the easiest solution for me for right now. I am moving to a new house in a couple of months that is completely wired with Cat5e and may end up rebuilding my pfSense box to serve the entire house but I don't know how that will work with video and DVR surveillance system that is included with the house. So that's up in the air.
This is why I'm thinking of going the OpenVPN on the router way. Anyway to my question. Which one of these will have better OpenVPN performance? General wireless performance? Is trying to service a 3500 sq. ft. house with 2 floors and a basement asking too much of any router? Looking for maximum uptime with as few reboots as possible although if can be scheduled that's okay too.
Any suggestions or even something else I haven't thought of would be appreciated.
