Is Wndr4300 VPN ready?
If it isn't, can you offer any advice about how to get it ready? I have seen dd-wrt.com for "flashing" (about which I know nothing) and am concerned that I'll destroy the router if I try it.
Nordvpn seems to be a popular service. Ok, you are looking for VPN client support. Alas, none of Netgear's routers have native support. You will have to install DD-WRT. Frankly, it's not for the faint of heart. It has a steep learning curve and there is always a risk of bricking the router. Given that you are having issues, this may be the excuse to buy a new router. Beware, many routers are not very fast with support OpenVPN, which what Nordvpn can use. If you have fast Internet service, be prepared to see slower speeds. VPN services are a realm where PCs or machines with Intel processors handle much better.

Thanks for your thorough, thoughtful answer.
