Dear folk

I am based in New Zealand I have got ASUS RT-AC5300 with Merlin firmware v386.3.2 , before connecting to a recommended USA server (i.e recommended by NordVPN with its protocol) the speed is 740 Mbps

When I connect to a recommended USA server the speed is (53 Mbps) as per attached snapshot

Yes U know that VPN might drop the speed but to that extent ?

I remembered i had same issue when I was with Express VPN 3 years ago

If my router's hardware in not capable to handle the speed ? Any recommendation which router should I buy ?

Thx
