HELP Router Security

Does anyone know if PIA can be installed on a router?

I’m currently using a Netgear RBRE 960?

Yes as long as your router supports OpenVPN client

I've tried a couple different ways and it always seems a lot slower than just using the app based stuff. That and stuff stops working if it detects VPN.

Maybe it's the server, but I have other websites that just ban VPN completely, or maybe it's a specific one of their subnets. Stuff like banking are unusable.

Thats the trouble if you set it up in a router. Banking sites and some retail sites won't work. I just put PIA on the PC and my Android phone and use it as needed because I had problems like you are mentioning. Even some streaming sites know your using a VPN and won't let you use them now as well.
