Best VPN compatibale router for £200

Have a budget of £200
Looking for a router where I can set up and maintain a good VPN connection with our software company is Ireland. They are being less than helpful with advice but have me a corner and need to get this fixed.
Currently my ISP, BT, keeps breaking the VPN as they want me to pay for the service from them. So want to set it up myself and not have to keep repairing, redoing it.
Hope this makes sense. And please let me know if you need any more info

Looking like £330 from amazon over here. Will see if I can stretch the budget as looks like a very handy piece of kit and has some features I wasn't asking for but do actually want.
Is there anything else that you could recommend that would be a little cheaper?

Be careful what you purchase as some routers have very low VPN throughput. Like in the single digits. What speed internet line do you have and how fast were you hoping the VPN would be? The Cisco RV180 is pretty decent as it can do about 50Mbit/s through a VPN. Something like the NETGEAR FVS318G can only do 7Mbit/s through VPN. My bet is the Juniper products can do at least as well as the Cisco RV180. Just make sure to do your research on the actual VPN throughput and make sure whatever you decide to purchase can go as fast as what you were planning on.

Thank you Abailey! That was very helpful as I had not looked at that.
Found a second hand Juniper SSG 5 on ebay is good condition for £90 so went for it.
Will let you know how I get on.
And thank you to all of you that have helped out. Always appreciate you guys!!!
