The challenge
I will connect different Routers to a 1Gbit/s VPN Server and publish the speeds I get here.
I have some routers in my mind which should be tested:
- Linksys WRT1900AC
- Linksys WRT1200AC
- Netgear Nighthawk X4 R7500
- Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000
- Asus RT-AC87U
- Asus RT-AC3200
- Asus RT-AC68U
- Asus RT-AC66U –> 10Mbit/s | Video Review [en] | Video Review [de]
- WT3020H –> 10Mbit/s | Shellfire Box Review [de]
If you are interested in some other routers, please let me know (comments)!

The Test
The main focus will be on the connection speed with OpenVPN. If there are other features you find interesting please let me know! I am looking for the fastest OpenVPN Router.
The Problem
I can not afford the routers… For this reason I will need a sponsor to get all this routers or ask the manufacturer (waiting for anwsers).
I will keep you updatet!
Looking forward to see your Review!
Good luck!
Asus RT-AC66 arrived and gets a speed about 10Mbit/s.
I will do a video review of it.
AVM FritzBox 6490 and 7490 would be interessting
As far as I know the Fritz!Box can just server as Server not as Client. Am I wrong?
FritzBox can’t act as openvpn client/server with default firmware, but at least a client can be sideloaded.with freetz

I have the Asus RT-N66U and the OpenVPN server/ client definitely works well, but apparently not simultaneously.
