Processing power is the key to high-performance routing for VPN users, having a fast processor is imperative for the constant encryption and decryption of every packet of Data sent and received. The faster the processor, the faster the VPN download speeds you'll get!

This router has been configured to run alongside your existing router (known as a dual router configuration or dual router setup), this means you will have 2 gateways out on to the Internet, 1 secure behind your encrypted VPN router and 1 through your normal router giving you the best of both worlds!

VPN stands for a Virtual Private Network and refers to software that is used to encrypt users Internet traffic and mask their On-line identity by hiding their IP address and use the VPN server IP address. Therefore, the main purpose of this technology is to help you stay secure and private when downloading, streaming or just browsing the Internet.

Using a VPN is by far the most reliable way to protect your privacy and secure your On-line activities. A VPN hides your IP address and encrypts all the traffic you send and receive.

We recommend Lightway Protocol an adaptation of WireGuard, simply because WireGuard is the faster of the Two Protocols, OpenVPN has been around a lot longer but has slower throughput. 

If you would like to know more information on why We Tv Box Company recommend Wireguard please read HERE

All devices connected to this VPN Router either by Ethernet or WI-FI will be protected behind the VPN connection.

Running your VPN from a router will only use 1 of your allowed connections, cover all devices in your home, freeing up more VPN connections to use outside your property on family mobiles etc.

A few benefits of using a VPN: - Mask your Internet connection IP address, allowing you to access content and sites while being secure. A VPN will help you stay safe and secure On-line while above all else keeping your private stuff private. Download and upload files in privacy, bypass the Country's web censorship and content surveillance, stream services without restrictions & use search engines without having your searches logged even from your Internet service provider.

If you want a fast VPN speeds from a router then don't buy a budget router you'll simply be disappointed and wasting your money - THAT'S A FACT!!

The Netgear R7000 ExpressVPN Flashed Router is very popular producing good VPN through speeds on FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) lines. If you have Full Fibre we recommend a Router with a faster CPU. It can be added to any CABLE, ADSL or VDSL network including Virgin, BT, BT Infinity, SKY, EE, PlusNet, TalkTalk etc etc.

It's suitable for any device that connects to the Internet basically. Multiple users can stream content simultaneously.

A. No, the NETGEAR R7000 ExpressVPN router is not a replacement modem, it is a router only, It has NO built in modem. It requires connecting to your ISP modem/router combo as pictured in our instruction leaflet included with the router. (Some ISP modem/routers allow Bridge/Modem mode if you prefer but not all).

Q. Can you program the router with all the necessary files for my VPN provider ExpressVPN?
A. The Router is supplied with ExpressVPN Firmware.

Q. How easy is it to change location?
A. Because the Router is supplied with ExpressVPN Firmware installed, it's very easy, simply select from a dropdown menu & connect.

Q. What do you need from me after I purchase the router?

Q. What if I don't currently have a VPN service?
A. Please consider our affiliate link for ExpressVPN

Q. What's a VPN Kill-Switch?
A. A VPN Kill-Switch is a critical piece of your VPN security solution which we program into our routers, this feature will ensure that your true IP address is never exposed on-line in the event your VPN should ever fail.

Q. Why is a VPN slower than my normal line speed?
A. Please Note: (NOT all VPN providers are equal to start with)!
Any VPN service will always give you a small loss in speed, this is due to the hardware having to encrypt every packet of data sent and received as well as adding a little latency.
This is why routers with less powerful CPU's and Ram (hardware) only produce 20-30% of your line speed. Simply put the faster the main processor (CPU), the faster your VPN will be!

Q. Your questions not listed above?
A. Please feel free to Contact Us.

Please Note:- This Router does not come with a VPN service included, this will need to be purchased separately unless you already have one.
