Both devices work with my ISP, but I’m leaning toward the Archer for the OpenVPN setup. The Asus only supports PPTP, though it’s still a solid router. I’m curious about the potential loss of features and how QoS compares between the two. Tp-link recommends turning off "NAT Boost" to set up QoS, but they don’t clarify what that feature entails.

The Asus indicates the processor includes BCM47189 and BCM43217, while the TP_link only shows BCM47189. This suggests the system uses two CPUs—one with BCM47189 and another with BCM43217. You're right to question if an Asus model can have two CPUs; it's possible in certain configurations.
