Hi,

I don’t plan to use Wi-Fi on either of these routers, since I have a powerful Wi-Fi router already with me. It will just act as bridge between my WAN connection and Wi-Fi router, to do VPN.

Will there be any OpenVPN performance difference between the two routers when used in such a way ? or should i stick with GL-AR300M since it has more ram?
