Hello, I have a 1080p camera that I am planning to VPN tunnel to a NVR over the internet, in another location.
For me to do this, I need a WiFi router capable of VPN clienting the camera and so naturally I think OpenWRT is my best bet.
But I am not sure what hardware to get, ideally I want something cheap and small but not so cheap that it doesn't have enough resources to install OpenVPN or the WiFi signal is too weak, making my camera image quality bad. I plan to place this router 1 room away from where the camera will be located.
Hmm thanks, so I effectively need this to VPN 1 device and that is all, do you think it's not going to be up to the job or unable to install openvpn packages?
Do you have any similar product recommendations? Something that is nice and small like that TP Link and cost effective. I was thinking Raspberry Pi originally, but it's probably 3-4 times the cost and overkill in some aspects.
Yep, honestly at the moment cost is the most important factor so future proof is not an issue. I do need wireless, I wonder what will handle wireless better, a PI or the TP Link.
I'm looking to install a WiFi camera long term and want it to run through some dedicated hardware that can VPN it to the NVR network.
