I have a Asus RT-AC88U as my router connected to a China Telecom Huawei Echolife HG8120C cable modem. The majority of the time my setup seems to work well but I have had intermittant problems when watching videos over a SAMBA connection to other devices on the network where the video will pause for 30-40 seconds and then continue as if nothing happened. Similar things occur with file transfers. Since this only happens once or twice a week I hadn't given it much thought until recently when I started having major VPN issues.
Basically no VPN I have tried (and I've tried 2-3 different companies in the last month) has been able to give me a stable connection. When a neighbour recommended a company he has found to work I started to suspect that the problem might not be the VPN and decided to check if directly connecting my PC to the cable modem changed things. It did.
So far I have tried
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try to solve the issue?

So far I have tried
- Default - Modem ->router->PC all ethernet - VPN connections last from less than a minute to 20-30
- Connecting the computer to the cable modem - Rock solid VPN performance.
- Removing the PC ->router ethernet cable and connecting by wifi - VPN stays up for between a minute to 30 minutes
