I was looking for a good VPN software and read some good reviews for Nordvpn. I tried it out yesterday and walked away very disappointed. I have 100 Mbps internet. Without the VPN installed I get 115 Mbps wired and 50-70 wireless. With the VPN I get 10-20 Mbps wired and 5-10 wireless depending on the server. I have an Asus RT-AC68R router with the latest firmware installed.

I had the the software installed on my router with the Asus VPN client. We mainly use our internet for streaming Netflix, YouTube, ESPN, etc. I'm not sure my router has a beefy enough processor to handle OVPN.

Is there a better service than Nordvpn or should I look into a hardware VPN? Please note I am not good at networking. It's always been my kryptonite.
