Hi all,
Firstly let me introduce myself: I am Czywy I am new here and currently looking for a new wifi router. I am currently upgrading all my hardware so I am curious what to get.
I am currently imagining to let the router directly connect via OpenVPN so that all devices will be connected through VPN is first place.
I have read a lot the past few days and it came to my attention that of course the speed performance will suffer due to CPU capabilities.
For the moment, I was thinking about the following routers:
- R7000 running either uptodate Netgear firmware or DD-RWT
- AC68U running Merlin
- AC87U running Merlin
Now I am getting a bit concerned that the overall download speed I will get from outside might be too low and the performance of all 3 routers, handling the direct OpenVPN usage might will suffer too much (I have read many things about the R7000 freezing for example).
What are your thoughts of which router I should run for the described setup?
