We have an Asus RT-N66U. It has a lovely interface and does most things very well.
However it has two issues. One is that it needs restarting about once a week to recover speed. This seems to be a known bug.
The other is that I need to be able to filter out access to certain URLs, notably mesu.apple.com in order to stop Apple devices downloading updates. I also need to be able to set up a VPN in the router so everything outbound routes via that.
This router can't do that - although it has the necessary settings, they don't work together. Trying to set up URL filtering with the VPN client enabled just breaks internet access altogether.
Actually I wonder if any router can do the above - possibly not. Do I need two layers of routers, so:
Internal Network > Router 1 (URL filtering) > Router 2 (VPN Client) > Modem
.. or is there a router that can do this?
