I subscribe to privateinternetaccess, a result of receiving copyright letters from time to time for various reasons. PIA works great but due of the limitations of the Telus router, each connected device needed to be set up individually.
Kijiji and Staples supplied a Nighthawk R7000 and a DWA-192 adapter, respectively. After an hour of flashing and set up, this new network blows the old powerline adapters out of the water, with every connected device routed through the VPN.
The powerlines would slow down and drop signal quite often in my particular configuration, so I wasn't totally happy.
Just thought I'd share my experience for those of you faced with the same troubles I had.
