Asus Router for VPN

I need to setup a VPN tunnel for remote access to an IP camera system. Since Asus routers come with OpenVPN already installed in their firmware, they seem like the logical choice. My question is which one is the best bang for the buck. The three in question are the RT-AC66U, AC68U, and the AC86U.

Wireless speed is not an issue as I don't game or stream video, and I'm only on a 30mbs download broadband service. This is strickly for a VPN on my network.

Which one ???
 
Thanks, that's a good link. However, with my current ISP service at 30mbs down and 2mbs up, would I see any benefit of the 86U over the 68U for what I'm going to use it for? I'm a beginner here!
 
You should know you need OpenVPN on each side.

If IP camera side upload is 10Mbps, then the fastest streaming speed to your PC side will be 10MBps and that's all you need, then RT-N66U or RT-AC66U will suffice if you never plan to upgrade your ISP speed.
