ExpressVPN Aircove | Wi-Fi 6 VPN Router for Home | Protect Unlimited Devices | Free 30-Day ExpressVPN Trial | International Version

I'm using it in Europe to change connection location and keep using my subscriptions from before moving country. My set up is: 1) fibre 2) router from service provider 3) Aircove 4) Mesh WiFi Installation is simple: 1) plug in Aircove - it comes with an electric socket for US, UK and EU 2) connect to it via wifi or cable on your computer/phone/tablet 3) visit its short URL to customise what you want, like: · the wifi name and password · the name of your devices connected to it · which connected devices will connect to VPN when you turn it on and which won't be affected by it Interface If you're using a smartphone or tablet, there is no app to access the router, but if you add the web page to your home screen (share button), it will feel like an app. As your connected devices appear on the list, you might not recognise their names so I recommend connecting them one by one and renaming them as they appear, so that you know which is which between, say, the TV, the game console, your work laptop, the tablet or the phone. To move them from a category (say, "connect to VPN") to another (say, "never on VPN"), just press/click and hold on the device name on the list, and drag it left or right. Connection Speed Because connecting to a different location literally means your internet signal going to THAT location and back to your place, you WILL lose speed, but it's not bad, but even before we switched to 900 Mbps fibre, when we were on a 76 Mbps connection and the VPN cut it in half, we could still stream in 4K 🙂 If you're testing the speed, I recommend trying different locations, as some could be closer to you and maintain greater speed. WiFi If you just use the WiFi from your Aircove, then it will recognise each device individually and for each you can select if you want it to connect to VPN or not. However, as I use Mesh WiFi, the Aircove only sees the Mesh WiFi connected to it, it does not see the devices connected to the Mesh WiFi. Therefore if you want to choose what to connect to VPN and what not to, with Mesh WFi this will happen at the WiFi level. So on the ExpressVPN menu, I have 1 device for the whole Mesh WiFi network, it's all or nothing in that case. What's Mesh WiFi, you may ask. If you struggle with WiFi signal in certain places in your home, I recommend it if you can afford it (great Christmas present!), you have one pod per location where you want to expand the signal, it broadcasts its own WiFi signal and each pod you buy will expand that same signal further, meaning that, contrary to WiFi extenders where if you're talking on WhatsApp it will cut and connect you to the extender, the Mesh Wifi is the same signal everywhere. Separate Router I have a separate router connected to the Aircove, for the TV and the 2 game consoles because I couldn't figure out how else to connect 3 devices on the 1 network cable running from the Aircove in the house entrance to the TV unit in the living room, but the Aircove still recognises each device individually through that other router which is great. If you're "upgrading" with Aircove from an older router where you had custom-installed ExpressVPN, and want to use both on the same network, then I recommend looking for the original firmware of your older router and bringing it back to its original set up. Else the two ExpressVPN routers won't work well together, you'll never know which the "app" is accessing and it's a nightmare.

This router is perfect for vpn , good speed and performance

I need to start by stating that the unit worked as advertised. It does require an ExpressVPN subscription account and setup was easy. It was able to provide protection for all devices on wired and wireless network without any issues. Interface is very simple and you can create multiple groups to be connected to multiple VPN locations, allowing you to put certain devices on separate VPN connections and also restrictions them to only certain services (for example, Kid's iPad on a separate VPN and block Adult, Gambling and Social Media.) The only issue that I had with the device was sacrifice in connection speed to the ISP. I have a 1Gb Fiber link from my ISP. My up/down speed is around 980Mbs down and 950Mbs Up. When connected to the VPN, my speeds didn't exceed above 100Mbs. I understand the technicality and the fact that my traffic is routed to another data center and connection speed is limited, but sacrificing 1Gb and getting 100Mb is a tough pill to swallow. Again, it's not the device's fault and just the nature of the VPN service, but it just didn't work for me.

Very intuitive router interface, for guaranteed VPN protection for all devices thanks to ExpressVPN

I had purchased this router to overcome my openvpn performance and stability issues as it was advised by Aircove and expressvpn support persons. (I am currently using ubiquity UDM SE Pro and openvpn for online gaming from UAE). it is not working as shared, it is much slower, did not solve any packet loss issues and when I do a live chat support team tells me the restricted internet connection. This was not what they were stating - they told me that lightway UDP could be around 300mbps solving all the issues limited to openvpn. Do not purchase this product, do not believe what aircove or expressvpn guys say. This product is useless in ME and or Europe region.

I love this ExpressVPN Aircove router! It does everything I need it to. I'll never miss any of my favourite foreign shows again! Plus I have added protection from any type of malware, viruses or trackers!

Their support is great until there is a problem that can't be fixed. Technically the router is still working but it drops connection to the VPN locations at LEAST once a day and most days several times. We thought it was the AT&T Fiber internet connection for awhile until I started paying attention and realized the AT&T was fine. It is set to pass through so there is no fighting in the firewalls. I've changed VPN locations, changed protocols, singed out, signed in etc etc etc and it still drops daily. Also speed has been limited to 100mbps at the very top while we pay for faster service.

Just works well. Easy to set up and use.

Impeccable. Facile a installer. J'ai deja un abo chez express vpn, donc incrire le numéro de code, et c'est parti. RAS Fait tres bien le travail

Probably a decent wifi router but even after more than an hour on line with express VPN tech support, impossible to configure and get working. They recommended returning to the supplier BUT the actual supplier in the USA - lots of admin and cost to send to the US. Still waiting for my money back.

Perfetto funziona ottima velocità e Amazon sempre unico nella spedizione

very good product

Took a while to arrive but worth the wait. I had concerns after reading some reviews. If you message the store they respond.
