View Product Add to Compare. This requires time and expertise, so routers from FlashRouters inevitably cost more than if you buy them from the manufacturer or on Amazon. It is worth remembering, though, that flashing router firmware yourself is not for the faint of heart and may result in a bricked router with a voided warranty.
Routers from FlashRouters are always successfully pre-flashed, and replace the voided manufacturer's warranty with one from FlashRouters 1 year, extendable up to two years for an additional cost.
FlashRouters also sells refurbished routers. NordVPN currently has the best instructions for doing this on its website. This is an essential safety feature that prevents your real IP address becoming exposed when this happens. FlashRouters provides documentation and setup instructions for the app on its website. This includes setup instructions for some supported VPNs.
If you need further support, Live Chat is available during EST office hours or you can send a ticketed email. FlashRouters also offers free TeamViewer support if you require it.
Note that FlashRouters support is only for free if you bought your router from them. We experienced some issues with the app when we first looked at it, but we were very impressed with the response from the FlashRouters support team.
It has worked hard to identify the problems and was quick to push out firmware updates once an issue was confirmed. In order to use the FlashRouters you will need a subscription with one of the VPNs supported by the app.
The links above go to our full reviews of each service, which should help you choose the best one for your needs. At some point in the FlashRouters may implement Emoji passwords, but that the moment this unique SSID broadcast feature is just a fun way to express yourself!
The main page of the app allows you to select your VPNs from a list of supported providers. In most cases, you need then simply enter your username and password, select a server location, and connect.
One issue that we encountered is that server location names are based on the names providers have given to their OpenVPN configuration.
As we can see in the example below, in some cases these names can be quite cryptic and require a certain understanding of VPN terminology to decipher! Fortunately, the app allows you to sort VPN servers by the closest one to you in a chosen country. Alternatively, you can let the app pick a server for you based on which server is the least loaded in a given country.
FlashRouters informs us that its tests show picking the least loaded server almost always results in the best performance even more than picking the server in a country closest to you. The main page of the app also allows you to opt to auto-connect the VPN when the router starts, and to enable the global kill switch. Most VPNs need only a username and password to connect, but with ExpressVPN you must also paste in your user certificate and private key.
If your VPN provider limits the number of simultaneous connections to their service, you can use just 1 connection for a FlashRouter to cover ALL devices in your home with no device connection limit. Certain devices like streaming players, gaming systems, and Internet of Things IoT devices do not have native support for VPN client connections. These devices need security too, and with the FR Privacy App all devices that connect to your home network can now connect through your VPN service.
Searchable and selectable server locations sortable by distance, server location, or time. Block Internet access if the VPN connection is not active on the router. View a list of all connected devices on your network and easily edit the names of your devices for your convenience. Setup rules over hosts and websites. The FlashRouters Privacy App comes pre-installed on all of our routers.
