VPN Setup on Netgear Router - HELP
I would like to setup a VPN connection through PIA on my Netgear router (Model listed as C7000-100NAS), but I think it's the same or a version of the AC1900 Netgear Nighthawk. All the documents I see...

Yes the Arris modem and ASUS router are working great.and their promise of "up to 100 MBPS" actually usually runs around 118. Spectrum is glad to work with your own equipment. I did have a little problem setting up the VPN (PIA) however. Couldn't get it to work at all with Asus native firmware so flashed the most recent version of Merlin. Problem with that was that Asus doesn't "officially" support, though they actually do have articles on installing Merlin on Asus Routers in their help forum and their Tech Guys did make an effort to help me, they just simply didn't have the knowledge to be able to do that and the articles are out of date so don't work with current versions of firmware / routers. But finally through much research and experimentation I found a configuration that worked and now my VPN works perfectly. I wrote up a tutorial for the Asus techies so they should be able to help other guys wanting to install a VPN with new routers and up-to-date firmware in the future.

Thank you. That is way beyond my brain wave threshold. But glad it worked for you.
