I am currently overseas (Asia - Philippines) and was looking to use an Apple TV. Geo-blocking caused me to look for a router and VPN solution. I decided on the ASUS since it was highly recommended by NORD VPN. However I went with their latest Blue Cave. Features all seem pretty good and comparible to the 87 and 88Us however the signal strength isn't quite as strong. But it did have Amazon Echo and IFTTT support built in which was the final determining factor.
My issue is the OpenVPN - Since I'm trying to use a VPN from the US (8000 miles away) I see a huge loss in speed. My Modem is Uploading and Downloading at 25Mbps, while the ASUS Blue Cave via VPN is only yielding 3-5Mbps. Thats a pretty substantial loss considering my goal was to stream video.
Any ideas on where I could improve?
Also - I have the Blue Cave direct (via LAN) to the Apple TV. Can I use OpenVPN to the LAN connection ONLY leaving the router to broadcast (Non VPN) at higher speeds for use in the home??
