Why do you have two routers in the first place? If you want Asus to do OpenVPN and/or WiFi, you need to stop the Asus router from doing NAT and DHCP and set it up in Access Point mode. Dual-NAT can bring all kinds of issues, starting with latency and ending with packet loss/connectivity issues. Since a router takes very little power to run in comparison, you may want to consider going that route instead and use a router as a VPN server (although personally, I leave my computers powered up 24x7).EDIT: Scratch what I said in the first place, I didn't read properly first.įirst, get rid of dual NAT. But you don't seem to like the idea of leaving your computers powered up all of the time. So, you may want to consider that option for connecting to the internet when "on the road", and just setup your router to act as a VPN server, so that you are connecting to the internet from your client device via your home network's broadband connection, without the monthly fees associated with third party VPN services.Īs mentioned earlier in this thread, you can also install software on one of your computers so that it would act as a VPN server. Here's one of many articles on the subject:Īsus even has a short video tutorial on the subject here:Ī number of other routers can do the same thing (act as a VPN server). I don't even bother to use services like DynDNS anymore, since the external IP address associated with my home network *very* rarely changes - usually only when I replace a cable modem (which I've only done 3 times in the last 10 or 12 years) so for most practical purposes, it's a static IP address.Īnyway, if you are still using that Asus router, you can use it as a VPN server so you can setup your client devices to connect to it and use your home network's broadband connection for internet access. But, my "Performance" plan is around half the price of their higher end plans (my plan only costs me about $50/month), and it's good enough for me. They offer even faster plans here (for example, a plan that gives you 105Mbps Download and 20Mbps Upload). I actually get better speeds than advertised (my connection consistently tests at over 28Mbps download and around 6Mbps upload).

I've been using Comcast for a number of years, and currently have their "Performance" plan, which is supposed to give you up to 25Mbps download speeds and up to 5Mbps upload speeds. That way, you can connect to the internet via your home network from remote locations (and it sounds like you went with a Comcast Broadband Plan from posts in this thread, which should give you pretty good speed). From previous posts, I remembered you ordered an Asus RT-N56U.
