Is this router good for a budget router? I have a Virgin hub 3, which can be set to modem mode, and connect a better router. I want to get a VPN, which I believe the Virgin hub is incompatible with. I'm not needing anything fancy, and a budget limit of approximately £50. I just need something basic and simple which functions well. I've only got 3 wireless devices in a small house (so signal strength does not need to be special), rarely on at the same time, and my hardwired PC. The above I see for £35, and it has a lot of positive reviews, but there may be a better one within budget. I'm a router noob, but I know how to access settings in case any setup is needed, but nothing 'too' technical.
By get a VPN, I merely meant subscribing to a service such as Nordvpn, not installing anything on the router. From experience in the past, and some research, I believe the Virgin hub 3 is set so you can't use a vpn service with it. It's blocked in router settings, as far as I've read.
Surely there's no need to spend £100 for a basic but decent router, I'd be surprised and disappointed if that was the case.

Google is full of conflicting tales regarding VM hub 3 and VPN's, some people have an awful time, some people find a workaround, some people have no issue.
Anyhow, if the TP-Link is alright, that's good. I was wondering if there were any better, or if they are all same-ish around that price point.
