I looked at asus, tp link, d link, linksys etc can't seems to find the one with all of the above. what am I missing.
any advice thanks
 
Solution
You likely have trouble finding one because "Secure" and "Gaming" are buzz words. There is no such thing as a "gaming" feature, it just means it has configurable QoS and fast WAN to LAN throughput for minimal gaming lag.
ASUS RT-AC68P with AsusMERLIN firmware (very very easy to flash).

I do gigabit wired and get real world 400mbps wireless transfers to my NAS server
Dual core 1ghz cpu handles all the multitasking well
Has QoS and other gaming features
I use PIA VPN and is easy enough to setup.
