I'll have a look at it tomorrow, I think it does have VPN functionality. I've never really needed it though.
From the official page it says it does OpenVPN as a client (as in you can connect to a VPN service to hide your whole network's browsing habits) but WireGuard is only listed as a server (connect to your network from outside your home). But it seems there might have been a software update to some models to support Wireguard as a client.
OpenVPN is apparently much slower than Wireguard and wouldn't get the speed I'm looking for.
What are you using the gateway for currently?
At the moment it's just running as a router and PoE switch, with two wireless access points on it. We plan to add cameras, but other expenses have taken priority.
When you say router, does it plug into your fiber box completely replacing where an ISP router would sit? I have suspicions our ISP router is shit (more shit than usual) so have been looking to replace that as well.
Yes, it's connected directly to the ONT with nothing in between.
Nice, if I work out that it supports Wireguard as a VPN then I'll definitely consider one of these! Thanks for the suggestion!
