Is there a router on the market with a VPN client + traffic shaping + wifi mesh support?

I want to upgrade my home network of 2 houses. I want the new version to be:

  1. A VPN client must be supported, I'm not an expert, but VPN providers say that the best option is for the router itself to support their "application". If you set up a connection via OpenVpn, there may be some problems.
  2. Because I have a large coverage area - I need support for a seamless transition between wi-fi points. That is, there must be some additional points that will be compatible with the router for this case.
  3. My channel is small 10/1 Mbit, and there are a lot of devices - so I need a traffic shaper so that one smart guy who decides to download a torrent does not leave everyone else without the Internet.


Please tell me the possible options for building a system that would satisfy these conditions.

Mikrotik as a gateway, on which it is possible (but quite difficult) to set up shaping. In the same place, the vpn client seems to be also able, but only OpenVpn (which is probably bad). And buy a wifi mesh with ready-made solutions.
I will also be glad to hear such options, BUT Ideally, I would just like to buy a ready-made device that would be able to do everything in their boxes.

Mikrotik. There is no difficulty with the shaper, if you understand how it works)
VPN supports - pptp/l2tp/sstp/openvpn (ONLY TCP)
Mesh on it, there is Capsman, only connect points (naturally of the same company) and configure, there in general not difficult. 5 minutes somewhere necessary)

Hm. Are there many such people with such requirements? In order for the device to be able to do all this "sparkle" - someone needs to write it, someone to check it, someone to test it. Let's say it exists, but it costs a hundred thousand - buy it? No, don't buy. Therefore, take Mikrotik and set everything up there.

Mikrotik will cope with these tasks. There are VPN clients, you regulate the traffic yourself. Their seamless Wi-Fi is called CAPsMan, a little dance with a bum, but set it up and forget it. Shaping is configured easily and simply.
