Ok, I'm ready to order and have combed over rankings and charts, still looking at a few models but I've narrowed down mostly to RT-AC3200 (older) and RT-AC86U (newer) and have budgeted around $200 +/-. My needs are as follows:
Coverage area is approx 1500 sq ft townhouse
Connection is fibre optic (77 Mbps up/77 Mbps down)
Devices: 4 android (3 phones, 1 tablet)
2 streaming players (Roku Ultra 4K, Roku Express) often on at same time
2 laptops
1 high end gaming PC (32M ram, 1080 Ti, 7700K Intel, on Ethernet where router will be)
I work with sensitive financial and other related material and wish to run VPN (hardware) at router level.
I have ExpressVPN and had absolutely horrible download speeds, 5 Mbps from my usual 70 Mbps or so so not sure wth was happening there hence why I'm seeking a more robust solution for hardware accelerated VPN service. I'm frankly ready for new and more modern and willing to shell out (to a point) for this, any hep and insight will be very much appreciated, thanks all.
