Reply To: Which Router to buy ? Hi all, I just had a look at BT sites and it seems they are offering me quiet a good good to “upgrade” and I could get the 150 speed…

Hi all,

So have now decided to replace my BT router and get a replacement router.

Looking to setup a VPN between my place and parents when needed.  I.e. I initiate the VPN when i need it, not have it up 24/7 so I figure having another Asus router would be the best option for this?

in light of this, which Router would you suggest?  Ideally no looking to spend a fortune, maybe £100 or so?

Upon a quick look on Asus website, would the RT-AX82U, RT-AX86S, RT-AX68U be ok to use?

Main criteria required is:-

1. WIFI 6

2. Ability to work with a Draytek modem (one i bought before)

3. Ability to work with FTTP in the future by just removing Draytek modem and plugging cable from ONT into the WAN port (like I did on existing router)

4. Ability to VPN (remote location connecting to this router and also connecting to remote location)

5. Ability to turn of the lights on it

Slight concern over the 512mb ram, considering my AX86U runs at 433mb ram with most stuff turned off, doesn’t leave much room in ram but it seems they are all 512mb ram.

Many thanks, looking to order asap as ideally want to get it Thursday so can set it up as I’m off work :)

Thanks
