Hello I wanted to know the main differences between Negear R7500 and R7800 in terms of performance, in particular with regard to the management of VPNs through the appropriate integrated module of dd-wrt.
Thank you

https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Netgear_R7500 you can compare the radios, that said I do not recommend v1.
Check retail box and model from bottom label of the router.

The R7500v2 have one gigabit connection between switch and SOC. The combined throughput LAN and WAN is 1G.
The R7800 have two connections between switch and SOC and can handle 1G for each WAN and LAN.

This is true, but keep in mind with VPN we are nowhere near this bottleneck however CPU is fully loaded.
For full speed VPN, either place the clients directly on PC or use DD-WRT x86 with appropriate hardware.
