But the router management page includes several useful ways to customize how the service works.Ī VPN Connection page enables choosing a new VPN location. Once your router is set up, it automatically connects to ExpressVPN and protects the traffic from all of its devices, no further configuration required. It's a clever DNS system which could enable accessing geoblocked content without the performance overhead of using a VPN.Ī drop down list lets you choose which server your VPN router connects to (Image Credit: ExpressVPN) (Image credit: Image Credit: ExpressVPN) Options and settings If your top priority is unblocking Netflix or other websites, you might be more interested in the router's support for ExpressVPN MediaStreamer. The router can't compete with ExpressVPN's apps for configurability, but you do get the ability to switch between OpenVPN UDP connections for speed, or TCP for reliability. You can switch locations by choosing a server from a dropdown list, or using a search box to locate servers by country or city name. On the VPN side, one benefit of using the router app is it already knows about all the ExpressVPN servers.

(We're focusing on the ExpressVPN integration here, but if you're more interested in the hardware, check out our full router review here.) A USB 3.0 port enables sharing printers or USB storage devices on your network, and a smartly designed eSATA port allows you to connect a further eSATA drive or USB 2.0 device to the network. The router can handle plenty of wired connections, too, with four gigabit ethernet ports, and another for your modem. It takes a lot of power to handle the VPN needs for an entire household, but the WRT3200ACM's MU-MIMO technology allows it to communicate with multiple devices at once, while support for Tri-Stream 160 technology enables operations at 160MHz, doubling the bandwidth of lesser 80MHz hardware. On the back of the device you'll find four Ethernet ports as well as a USB 3.0 port and a USB/eSATA port (Image Credit: FlashRouters) (Image credit: Image Credit: FlashRouters) Features
