It ran hot, which isn't the end of the world... but if you're watching video then eventually it gets hot enough to slow itself down and start buffering video.
For web stuff it's fine, for video stuff it wasn't.
The EdgeRouter can be an OpenVPN client and works great, but doesn't typically work with most cheap VPNs. I used Streisand to set up my own on Digital Ocean and a fallback on Linode. It reduced my bandwidth to 10MB, but that was a solid 10MB encrypted which is ample for everything I do and for a bit of video too.

I don't have any smart devices. I do, I just don't plug any of them in so the local network is not in use, save for a NAS box and then I glazed over. Sorry, I seem to be firefighting network issues today which isn't my job but our software is running on someone's shitty network and they keep trying to blame AWS for it. Fucking networks, how do they work.
I'll get back to you. Basically I was just going to make use of my VPN by using it for all traffic but you said the 66 ran hot so I figured I'd not break it and skip that step.
