Some advice please. On a medium size work from home network I would like to install a VPN.
Currently an (oldish) net gear wifi router is installed with 2 access points and 2 repeaters, typically 26 to 28 devices on the network during the day.
Which us the best router router to use when installing a VPN?
Also I am running Express VPN which freezes occasionally, I wouldn't want go and restart the router often, any suggestion which VPN is best in this scenario?
 
If your home office is running fibre. I would would suggest running a Mikrotik firewall with OVPN server.
I installed a Mikrotik RB951 or RB2011 on site and setup OVPN on the Mikrotik. Then created some certs for auth and use OpenVPN installed on the client side. It works like a dream.

Most of our customers are working off site these days and I must say that I am so happy that I adopted Mikrotik as our primary router / Firewall for our customers.
