Nest Thermostat Gaining Apple HomeKit Support Starting Today via Matter
If you dont mind some tinkering AirConnect allows to use google speakers as airplay devices. I been using airconnect for a year and a half and it’s been working perfectly.
- Is there *any* speaker group casting system out there that just works?

Chromecast/Media Router on iOS?
If you have a Raspberry Pi, there’s a way to bridge things with audio (in my experience, there’s a massive delay, but it works); with video you might be SOL.
- [Question] Cast from Apple Music
- Installing AirConnect on same RPi as Homebridge?

Budget solution for Sonos compatibility with Airplay2?

Change country to make Nest Hub activate AirPlay?
Apple Music doesn’t provide AirPlay support so you’d need a hardware bridge such as a Starling Hub or a software bridge such as AirConnect. I’ve tested the latter on Windows and it works, but it’s a bit ‘hacky’. Ideally you’d want it running on a server like a Raspberry Pi.

Asus Router Reviews
Not an answer, but I have the AC5300 and like it. And if you're not aware, there's open source firmware for a lot of the Asus routers here. I use it and once again seems fine. Disclaimer, I'm not a power user, so probably can't answer anything more specific about VPN setup on the router itself, but from my understanding it is possible.

ASUS Merlin and VPN Director - Route LAN traffic through WG site-to-site VPN and WAN traffic through OVPN client
However, I am struggling with how to route the site-to-site client's WAN traffic through its own OVPN client connection. If I set up a rule routing all client subnet traffic through the OVPN connection, then the Wireguard rule never gets processed, because all OVPN rules are processed before any Wireguard rules.

OpenVPN Modem/Router
Many (all?) of the ASUS routers supported by the Merlin firmware https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/ have OpenVPN built-in. If you have an ISP-provide modem/router, you may be able to put it in transparent bridge mode.

Looking To Buy A New Router
However, it looks like only the older model is on sale. Go for the Asus and do research if you want Merlin or not.

If you are somewhat good with computers, get an Asus router with a broadcom chipset that can run Merlin WRT. They are rock solid and feature packed (you can even adjust the wireless power level, since you're having wifi issues). There's a list of supported routers here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Supported-Devices
- First time testing with 2.5g adapter
- ASUS Mesh Issues

New Wireless Router Suggestions
Asus may be terrible in other parts of the company, but they're good in the wifi router department because they cooperate with their users to produce a better product: https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/
