Good Router for VPN (ISP is Vodafone)

kifi

Hi all

Have Vodafone VDSL. Looking for a router to use with the Vodafone modem/router in bridge mode, and want to host Open VPN on the router.

Any recommendations, up to €200 to spend.

thanks

Linksys WRT1900ACS Dual Band AC1900 BUT it is best with DD-WRT, do a google

You will not find better value for money than this Mikrotik. There's a bit of a learning curve but it's worth it for the features it offers. It's an enterprise router used by ISPs.

There are plenty of guides for whatever you want to do

Thanks although I was hoping for n easy setup. I had a tp link archer ac1750 which was very easy setup Open VPN on but it turned out to be very slow.

This is the newer version Mikrotik has a faster ARM CPU.

There's a slight trade off on wireless though

No point regurgitating that if he wants a push button config.

What's a good one that might fit what I'm looking for Ed E? Thanks
