VPN Discussion / Recommened a router for NordVPN
« on: August 09, 2021, 07:01:57 PM »
Dear folk

I am based in New Zealand I have got ASUS RT-AC5300 with Merlin firmware v386.3.2 , before connecting to a recommended USA server (i.e recommended by NordVPN with its protocol) the speed is 740 Mbps

When I connect to a recommended USA server the speed is (53 Mbps) as per attached snapshot

Yes U know that VPN might drop the speed but to that extent ?

I remembered i had same issue when I was with Express VPN 3 years ago

If my router's hardware in not capable to handle the speed ? Any recommendation which router should I buy ?

Thx

Dear Experts

I am using Express VPN on my Linksys WRT 1900 ACS to access US Netflix from New Zealand ,,,, and I have to install their firmware

Not all VPN providers can provide access to US Netflix

Not all devices at home are going via VPN traffic only my Roku TV box

Couple of features disabled when I installed VPN Express firmware one of them like :

1- Parental Controls

2- Port forwarding (using that to access my security cameras when I am outside)

Without disabling the Express VPN What suggestion can be done to keep those features as I need them ?Using additional router ?

Thanks

Note : My linksys router WRT 1900 ACS is compatible with DD-WRT firmware

Hi Experts

I tried to google for the below phrase (and many others) :

http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&sa=X&ei=7VDzT9HzHeTPmAWw4YGzCQ&ved=0CF8QvwUoAQ&q=configure+windows+cisco+system+vpn+client+to+connect+LAN&spell=1&biw=1366&bih=585

Looking for a document shows step by step walk-through how to configure Cisco Systems VPN client v5.0.07 (IPSec) to connect a mobile laptop (windows 7) over the internet to a small LAN office behind one of those branded router (D-link, Netgear , Linksys,,,etc).

Previously I have used TheGreen Bow but not Cisco System VPN client

Below Cisco URL wasn't too much helpful for me
