![]() You really want the fastest processor you can buy in a router as the VPN processing will slow the throughput down considerably. ![]() I bring this up as you want to run the VPN in the router, and that takes horsepower. That has a Broadcom BCM4709C0 (1.4 GHz, 2 cores) processor while the C7 uses a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9558 (720 MHz), so the 1900P processor runs almost twice as fast as the C7 processor. ![]() My personal opinion, depending on the time window, would be to return the C7 if possible and pick up something like the Asus RT-AC1900P at Best Buy. I ran across an Australian post where the poster was using an Archer C9 with DD-WRT loaded, so, it looks like it's probable that the C7 would run DD-WRT. DD-WRT firmware supports OpenVPN so that would make it fairly easy if DD-WRT was loaded on the router. The Archer series modems don't show up on the DD-WRT supported list, unless those modems also have a normal TP-Link TL-XXXXX number. So, OpenVPN is required for Nordvpn and this router's firmware doesn't support it. If I remember this correctly, L2TP only redirects data without using encryption and PPTP is not secure anymore. You still within the time window where you can return the TP-Link router? It looks like this only has passthru settings for L2TP and PPTP.
