Combining Two Routers for more VPN Processing Power

[HarryMuscle]

I was wondering if it might be possible to combine two routers to get higher VPN throughput. I'm upgrading my RT-N66U which can handle about 15MBps on VPN to a RT-AC66U B1 which should be able to handle 30+MBps. But I was wondering if there might be some way to keep both since these routers support dual WANs.

I would have the cable modem connected to router A which would establish a VPN connection and be configured as the main router and have dual WAN "load balancing" enabled. Then router B would be connected to one of the ether ports and have everything disabled except for a second VPN connection. The weird thing would be that router A would treat router B as the second WAN connection but router B would get it's WAN via router A (by passing the VPN connection on router A). Is this doable?

Thanks,
Harry

No.

Get a high end pfSense appliance and follow this guide to load balance your traffic across multiple VPN gateways:

Load balancing does not increase throughput to a single connection. It helps only with aggregate traffic levels.
