We are always suggesting users have their VPN turned on at all times to protect their data from falling into the wrong hands. This is important both at home and when you’re out and about.
At home, you can even set up your router so that all devices connecting to the Internet benefit from a more secure connection. However, that may not be easy for some folks who instead opt to buy a router that is preconfigured to work with a VPN service.
Many of the biggest VPNs provide such routers, and now one of them is launching its very own such product.
ExpressVPN Aircove
The company says the ExpressVPN Aircove is the industry’s first and only Wi-Fi router with a built-in VPN — whereas those other routers are preconfigured to work with a specific VPN service.
Debuting in the U.S. market, Aircove comes preinstalled with ExpressVPN’s software — bringing the full benefits of a VPN to every device on your network. In other words, if it’s connected – it’s protected.
Protecting the digital life of your entire household
In addition to your computer, tablet, and smartphone – you may also have other connected devices in your home, such as voice assistants, cameras and even baby monitors. All these devices could be potential points of entry for online snoops. If not secured, these “digital windows” can compromise your privacy and safety in unexpected ways. For instance, your smart doorbell knows all about your family’s comings and goings.
Combined with an ExpressVPN subscription, Aircove will “cover” all these devices, not just those that (are capable to) run the ExpressVPN app. But even without a subscription, Aircove is a solid Wi-Fi 6 router with a complete range of standard functions.
That being said, ExpressVPN still offers its software for installation on third-party routers — this is their first hardware product.
Aircove is readily available for $189 on Amazon.
Key features include:
- Instant, always-on ExpressVPN protection that will cover all Internet-connected devices in your home, including smart TVs, game consoles, smart cameras, digital assistants, and so on.
- Up to 1,600 square feet of fast and stable dual-band Wi-Fi, delivering speeds up to 1,200 Mbp — 600 Mbps for 2.4GHz and 1,200 Mbps for 5GHz.
- Ability to connect to multiple VPN locations simultaneously – just drag and drop your devices into up to five Device Groups, each with its own VPN location. Control this from a browser on your phone or computer.
- Access to 24/7 live chat support – Aircove is covered with the same level of support as the company’s VPN service.
Sounds cool? It does sound like that to us.
