    Looking for a router that runs off 5V and has openvpn client support

    Check out the GL.iNet travel routers. I have the older (Beryl) GL-MT1300 which I have used for the very same purpose for a couple of years and works great. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3000/

    Asus AC86U VS AX86U Pro Range

    One trick I have seen work very well on a trusty RT-AC68 is just remove one of the 3 router mounted antennas and replace with a cable running to externally mounted antenna located where you need the improved coverage.

    Arris S33 on Comcast Business

    Unless you plan on upgrading to a tier greater than 1Gbps I would recommend going with the SB8200. It is approved for Comcast and considered by some to have better quality hardware than the S33. It has been a rock solid modem for me.

    Channel recommendations?

    Also remember that interference can come from many sources other than nearby AP's. So even you don't see any other AP's using a specific channel that doesn't necessarily mean it's free of interference and will provide the best results. Best to play around and see what works best in your environment.

    Any reason not to upgrade from RT-AX86U to RT-AX86U PRO?

    The RT-AX86U already has a proven track record of being a pretty good router. The RT-AX86U PRO is new and may have issues we are not aware of yet.

    How are you testing to determine which DNS server is resolving addresses for you ?

    USB 4G Dongle for RT-AC86U

    We have a location where I use a NETGEAR 4G LTE Broadband Modem (LM1200) feeding the WAN port of an RT-AC68U and it works great. Much less hassle than a USB Dongle.

    Solved VPN Director

    If I remember correctly, WAN rules take priority over VPN rules. If you have conflicting routes for VPN the router has no way of knowing which one you want to take priority. You could narrow down your DHCP scope to free up some addresses to test with and still have one rule to route everything...

    Trying to buy a router/routers that will solve all my issues

    Based on my experience with the RT-AX86U you might be able to get away with just one RT-AX86U or RT-AX86S.

    Alternative to NextDNS - that works with and without merlin FW

    Just as an FYI, You can use NextDNS without running any scripts. They have options for DOT/DOH/Linked IP which covers pretty much any device. I use Merlin with DNS-over-TLS and it works great.

    AC86U power adapter?

    I just looked and the original adapter is 19v 1.75A EDIT: Model ADP-33AW B if you need it.

    Has anyone been able to block ProtonVPN on Asus router?

    You could also look at the "System Log - Active Connections" and just block them as they show up. Should be pretty easy to spot.
