If you want a router that provides the best possible performance (up to 60 Mbps with OpenVPN encryption), here are a few options to consider: Most other routers require firmware flashing, which might be tricky and does not work on all platforms. While there are many different routers available from other manufacturers, most Asus routers have a built-in OpenVPN client and require little effort to set up. We strongly recommend getting an Asus router. These are the routers we recommend to home users without high-performance requirements (up to 10-40 Mbps with OpenVPN encryption): RT-AC66U B1, RT-AC86U, Asus RT-AX3000. You can also buy a router and configure it yourself. They offer some of the best routers for NordVPN pre-configured to deliver top-notch security and performance. If you want an out-of-the-box solution with extra safety and privacy, head over to our partners at FlashRouters.
