  • Is this possible with Wireguard/oVPN?

    I think you need VPN director from Asuswrt Merlin https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/VPN-Director

    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
    1 project | /r/ASUS | 17 Nov 2023
    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
    1 project | /r/OpenVPN | 1 Aug 2023
    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.
  • Does merlin support Asus AX RT55 router?
    1 project | /r/HomeNetworking | 11 Jul 2023
    Here's the official website. It has a list of supported routers: https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/

    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

    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/
