Is This ExpressVPN Router Worth It? | Linksys WRT3200ACM Review

[@nomadicexplorers]

It’s super simple. My speed is cut 50% when connected to the furthest servers I’m impressed with how easy it is. My only complaint is I want all the linksys settings/features in the expressvpn site

Thanks bro.... You saved me some money!

Can you record an update to this review using the new native ExpressVPN Aircove router?

[@sadaeasa6987]

how can I learn to flash the router I have it but I have no idea how to connect it to express vpn

[@osirisdeleon]

The reason is simple the router its using Open VPN protocol witch is very complicated and hammers the router CPU. But there is a solution named WireGuard is a diferent VPN protocol and is very fast . I have a 300 Down and 75 Up using the same linksys router i can get 125 Up and 65 Down but using wireGuard in the same router i can get 285 up and 70 Down a much better result.

The problem with routers is that their CPUs as far as I know lack the AES NI which allows for fast AES encryption/decryption. A router that uses a powerful ARM CPU from a smartphone would do a much better job. Wireguard is more efficient but still, routers simply need proper CPUs for VPN. There are some fast cisco ones but they cost and arm and a leg 😂

[@jaggsta]

All routers have this issue because of protocol using this is why changing to wireguard which requires less CPU

it seems he does not understand the behavior of a VPN...

I replaced a linksys wrt1200ac with this 3200 it does not connect as well as my older 1200

I use Vilfo router, that is made with VPN in mind so it has the hardware for it. But, I think it seems to become abandonware. They havent had any updates for firmware or their software for more than a year now. I am looking for something similar that can give 900+ Mbit/s on a Gigabit line with VPN activated. Seems like it is impossible to find.

[@benjotest5990]

Have you found something? I am sitting with the same problem

[@claytonmagnet9961]

Hello, can you conduct speed tests using OpenVPN protocol and UDP/TCP settings as well and post results here please.

[@melaniesvenson9459]

im convinced not to buy a router for vpn. they are weak. If you want a vpn router your best bet is to buy a cheap ass laptop and turn it into a router, it would be 20 times faster than a high end router

[@underfundedaddict3806]

i have this and its junk. slow and weaker than my nighthawk that lightning took out. totally don't understand
