Looking to get a new router to use as a OpenVPN Client with PIA and was wondering what ASUS router would be best, setup as a OpenVPN Client, to achieve the fastest up/down speeds over OpenVPN?
are there any other significant differences between the RT-AC56U or RT-AC68U hardware or spec wise?
I dont really care about the WiFi speeds at all, I just want to get what ever router has the best specs to run as a OpenVPN Client allowing max up/down speeds to PIA VPN servers.
have you tested either of the RT-AC56U or RT-AC68U as a OpenVPN Client to see what kinda speeds they are capable of reaching at all to external VPN servers?
Everyone's experience will vary. Loss in throughput is not only the result of processing overhead but your distance from the remote servers as well as your VPN provider's bandwidth. With my setup only StrongVPN can give me 70 Mbps down connected to a server 250 miles distant. With most other VPN providers in the same city I am lucky to get 40 Mbps.
