Hi all,
I'm having issues setting up a VPN via cascading routers.
I have a router given to me by my ISP that I obviously cannot flash. That modem does not have any section to input a VPN.
I have an account with PIA VPN so the only way I found to go behind a VPN was to setup a second router and flash it.
So my setup is:
modem >-wired to-> ISP router >- wired to -> RouterFlashed (wndr3700v2 flashed to dd-wrt)
My ISP router's IP is 192.168.0.1 and my RouterFlashed's IP is 192.168.1.1. RouterFlashed is connected through it's WAN port to a LAN port of ISP router.
When wirelessly connecting from a laptop to ISP Router, I get ~30Mpbs connection.
When wirelessly connecting from the same laptop to RouterFlashed, I get ~7 Mbps.
I was under the impression cascading WANtoLan via wire should not affect speed.
Questions:
1) Is this 1/3rd of the speed normal?
2) If it is normal, do I have an alternative? I can't be OK with 1/3rd of the speed. My 30Mbps was already slow
3) If it isnt normal, anything I was supposed to do in RouterFlashed? I did not do anything special other than enabling the VPN and assigning the second IP to the router.
Thanks!
