In order to set up your router to connect to NordVPN server you will need to download OVPN configuration files. Those can be found at [https://nordvpn.com/ovpn/ NordVPN website]. It is necessary to choose a server which can provide the best possible performance, visit this [https://nordvpn.com/servers/tools/ website] and it will automatically show you which server will provide you the best experience. Also when it comes to choosing TCP or UDP you need to decide what you are trying to achieve. TCP is reliable, data sent using this protocol is guaranteed to be delivered to the receiver. If data is lost in transit it will recover the data and resend it. TCP will also check packets for errors and track packets so that data is not lost or corrupted, but that effects internet speed. UDP is unreliable, it does not provide guaranteed delivery and a datagram packet may become corrupt or lost in transit, but you will get greater internet speed.
