Asus RT-AC86U + Asuswrt-merlin + OpenVPN = What speeds can I expect? Can I top a 1Gbps connection?

As I understand Asus RT-AC86U router has a build in AES Hardware Acceleration which takes the load off the CPU and does the encryption on-the-fly which is enabled in the Merlin Firmware. This should improve internet speeds over VPN.

I currently have a 400/20Mbps connection and will soon be upgrading to 1Gbit connection. Currently, I use a stock router that my ISP gave me without a VPN. I am looking to put all my devices on a VPN by using the Asus RT-AC86U router.

So my question is: Can anyone give me some real-world numbers on how this router performs with OpenVPN and Merlin firmware? Would I be able to come close to my internet top speed?
