Thanks Sam. I'll look into this. In this house, we have 10+ devices running thru this one router (SMCD3GNV). We do watch a lot of HD shows and one business PC that is constantly connected to a local hospital using VPN and downtime is something to avoid.
Ah, the VPN can/will consume and allot of bandwidth and packet's. Wireshark your WAN side connection and see what the VPN traffic looks like. It will probably show up as GRE packets.
