Tp-link cheap router that works with my Devi's,
Can anyone point out a WRT router that works well with my deco M5's?
I also have Plusnet V2 router, which no-one has got WRT router software on, so I cannot repurpose that.
I want to continue to use the 3x M5's WiFi with this wrt router.
I was thinking that a TP-link WRT router would work best with the TP-link Deco M5's.
If I had only known, I wouldn't have thrown out the V1 Plusnet router just the other day
I want VPN on my router but I also need to have something that is still the broadband modem.
I am still using copper wire to the modem/router, not fibre like is coming out now.
Thanks.

sorted byAsus modem/routers have integral VPN client;
modem models typically identified by "DSL" prefix.
Reasonable VPN processing power via Asus DSL-AC88U.
Not "cheap" at £220 Currys: currys.co.uk/pro…tml
but alternative supplier ticks the "cheap" box at £45 inc 24m warranty (but PITA if it busts prematurely & no spare parts. Hilarious)

Asus may not be the requested TP-Link,
but can use the dual core 1.4GHz 512MB / 128MB spec of Asus DSL-AC88U to benchmark the price/performance ratio of any TP-Link or other option(s).
No indication of intended VPN provider,
but there's a recent dull debate somewhere about Nord being fussy about OpenVPN config, or vice versa.
I don't think I'll buy that from cex, look g at the dd-wrt firmware and last seems to be 2016/17 and seems to be buggy.
I bought another Plusnet hub one on *bay and I'll have a play with it.
Thank you
