Hi guys,
I'm trying to decide the best VPN router that will work for my needs. It will be flashed with the ExpressVPN network and I plan to purchase through https://www.flashrouters.com. I am currently looking at the "ExpressVPN Asus RT-AC5300 AC5300 DD-WRT FlashRouter" and the "ExpressVPN App Linksys WRT3200ACM OpenWRT FlashRouter" but I am also open to suggestions. The ASUS uses the DD-WRT firmware and the Linksys uses Open-WRT and apparently they are both Linux based. I am curious if there are any drawbacks to either.
Besides my dual partitioned Ubuntu/Windows 7 PC it will be for the following:
Essentially, I'd like flexibility but not if it ends up being overly complicated. The ASUS touts being "God Tier" for gaming so I admit to leaning that way if it's at all true. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alyssa

Besides my dual partitioned Ubuntu/Windows 7 PC it will be for the following:
- Gaming - XBox and PC
- Netflix, Amazon, Hulu etc. streaming
- NAS for Plex Server and SOHO work - QNAP TS-451+
