Asus Router Vpn Slowing Internet Speed

It was time to replace my aging Netgear R9000. I was waiting for wifi7 certification before upgrading to another router that I’ll use for 5+ years. The Asus BE98 Pro was a clear choice in terms of features and flexibility. The initial setup was easy to follow. If you are migrating from another router like I did. I recommend taking a snapshot/pic of your old router’s config. For example I have static IP addresses for devices that were configured as manually assigned IPs in my DHCP. I also had port forwarding configured. And I also named all my wifi devices and identified via MAC address in my old router. Having a pic of these setting prior to the setup of the Asus router was helpful and necessary. It made the Asus setup easy and troublefree. The Asus VPN fusion feature was what I was excited to use. Configuring a 3rd party VPN provider was simple to setup. It does require abit more technical know how to get it setup and configured. I suggest calling Asus support. Overall I’m glad with the wifi throughput I’ve gained and the WAN internet speed bump I gained coming from a 1G WAN/netgear roter to the 2.5G / Asus. I have a 1G plan with my provider and Im getting internet speed bursts up to 1.4G. If you can afford this router now I’d pull the trigger.

I had originally purchased a netgear router but returned it because I could not use it with a vpn. The Asus router functions with a vpn which is a huge plus and works like a charm.

Works well - we were having issues with the speed and stability of connection to our vpn, and the addition of this router to our network has solved our issues.

Handles the internet speed and wrks great with our NETGEAR router.

I moved to an area that has 1gb internet speeds and while happy with my 5 year old Asus router, I decided to get this new one. Set was easy via the app. Router is performing great in my small house. Another satisfying Asus product.

It’s is a stable and durable modem router that helps us have high speed internet.

TP-Link ER605 V2 Omada Gigabit VPN Router was easy to set up (using it as a standalone router) and basically started working once powered on. The boot cycle is a bit slow (~2-3 mins), but once active there are no issues with all the network devices connected to it. The 4 ports are sufficient for setting up 4 different networks and the streaming devices seem to be more stable (less buffering, more responsive) than before. I should have bought this router years ago.

After replacing my wifi router with this AP the speed of the internet went up significantly. I was amazed.

We have high speed internet and numerous devices...with the provided router from our internet provider we were having issue after issue due to provided router. Once we replaced the old router with the Orbi all problems resolved! Problem solved! No more dropped connections, no more streaming issues, no more slow speeds! GREAT!

I purchased this because my internet provider told me I needed more speed. This router will last a long time and then some.
