This is not a router, so no! This works with a router to expand wireless coverage in the home. The max this would provide a wireless device on a good day is probably around 300-400Mbps.

Interesting that it works with openwrt. I don't have a need for this, but relaying that detail for the group.
·
These things are crap with the default Netgear firmware. They require you to create a netgear cloud account to even login to the access point. That can be bypassed by blocking internet access or not connecting it to an internet connection.

However they do support OpenWRT.

And yes it's a router. The hardware is identical to Netgear R6220

Some reviews said this only works with a Netgear router (of the same kind).

Is there any truth in it?

If golg247's comment about openwrt is correct, then maybe?

You need router functionality for VPN, I believe. Would flashing a different firmware allow for that?

If so, would it be throttle due to some sort of software emulation of hardware routing functions?

I know this comment isn't particularly helpful, but I feel like others may be asking the same question.
