I'm looking at getting a ASUS wifi router and wonder if I can run the VPN Client if the router is in Access Point mode rather then router mode? I only need it to route traffic for certain wireless devices via a VPN and don't want to replace my current ISP router.

No.

You wil need to double NAT your ASUS router behind the ISP router. Will work fine as this is the way I currently run my network.
 
Thanks bought the ASUS RT-AC68U (flashed ASUSWRT-Merlin) router and works fine, my VPN drops from time to time, it tries to restart and get "auth failed" so it stops trying to connect. If I toggle the VPN via the gui it will start? Any ideas? I have a call into my VPN provider. I'm using the OPVN config file from the provider.

My client config:
