Recommend a router to work with NordVPN

[zillah]

Dear folk

I am based in New Zealand I have got ASUS RT-AC5300 with Merlin firmware v386.3.2 , before connecting to a recommended USA server (i.e recommended by NordVPN with its protocol) the speed is 740 Mbps

When I connect to a recommended USA server the speed is (53 Mbps) as per attached snapshot

Yes I am aware that VPN can drop the peed but to that extent ? from 740 to 53 ?

I remembered i had same issue when I was with Express VPN 3 years ago

If my router's hardware in not capable to handle the speed ? Any recommendation which router should I buy ?

Thx

Have you tried just turning on the VPN from your PC instead of the router to compare that?

Thx really it is a good tip

you probably won't be able to get your normal 740mbps.

For sure I wouldn't expect to get that speed with VPN
