Hey guys!
My friend is trying to use a VPN to watch Disney+ Europe (We are in canada) on his chromecast, his VPN works great on firefox but not on Chromecast.
I was thinking of getting him a router with VPN support and then set his whole network on the VPN so he can use those services.
He narrowed it down to these models so far:
Asus RT-AX92U Archer AX6000 Archer AX11000 Netgear AX11000 (RAX200) ASUS ROG AX11000
BUt now we are wondering which one to choose!
Thanks a a lot for reading.
You want the one with the best CPU for the VPN to process. So I say the RAX120 is the best bet if money is no option. If you just want the ones listed I would go with the Asus AX11000.
“Asus RT-AX92U” uses Dual-core 1.8Ghz CPU, 512 MB RAM
“Archer AX6000” uses 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM
“Archer AX11000” uses 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM
“Netgear RAX200” uses 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM
“Asus AX11000” uses 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM
Adding: “Netgear RAX120” uses 2.2Ghz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM.

Prices are so sick, is there something cheaper? This is ridiculous… 500$ for router
Sometimes they may have dedicated hardware for acceleration or some implementation in software. So CPU speed alone may not be the biggest factor.
All of those are overkill for a single VPN session. I would go with https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2 or even cheaper. It has IPsec acceleration and supports WireGuard, although I would stick with IPsec for television.
Ideally, it would be VPN provider agnostic. as we might change that once one VPN gets blocked from the services
I was just going by what the OP gave as choices.
