router for VPN

"best" is a subjective word to use. You do get what you pay for with consumer grade networking equipment. You should make sure your Asus firmware is up to date otherwise it will be owned via heartbleed.

So what alternative networking equipment are you suggesting for a "consumer" in need of "consumer grade" applications. Please understand I have no idea of what you mean by "owned via heartbleed".

I really appreciate all the suggestions I am getting here, but I readily admit I know very little on setting up a tunnel VPN using the Asus or any other brand router. That's why I'm looking for basic advise from those who are knowledgeable.
