best is read the user manual online before buying. See which VPN you plan to use & support (openvpn, wire guard, pptp , etc)

May I know what are these two router differences? please mention the router models some support the ancient old L2TP/PPTP VPN protocol, not very useful these days if they support OpenVPN or Wireguard, then it's more useful as you can setup your VPN provider there

You may search it online. It is like buying licensed anti virus or internet security. When installing VPN it does not need to install anti virus or internet security. The problem is subscribing VPN fees are higher. Like anti virus, they have free and paid.

A VPN is NOT a substitute for antivirus also, please mention MODEL of the router, not just brand
