I currently have a spectrum router that does not have the option to connect via vpn on the router itself. I am trying to change my region on Netflix through my Roku TV. I am able to do it on my laptop however I cannot figure out a way to connect the Roku TV itself to a vpn. I believe my only option is to install the vpn on my router but my current spectrum router does not allow vpn configuration.
I decided to get the ExpressVPN Aircove router. Makes it so much easier. I’m sure there may be some cheaper router that you can get and configure, but I went for the most convenient, guaranteed to work option.
How much did you pay for it? And how big of an improvement is it to your internet speed vs using a router from your isp?
It’s currently on Amazon for $189.00. This is the same price when i bought it in January 2024. The main objective for me was to have all connected devices on VPN. I didn’t buy it for it to be an improvement per se.
What I can say is I haven’t experienced any buffering on the devices that were connected. I set the VPN on the router to the US, for example, and that was that.
In general, though, when connected to a VPN, you rarely (if ever) get the same speed as your ISP.
Yeah I think I’m about to pull the trigger on the aircove. I’m just trying to figure out if it is compatible with spectrum internet
I can’t say for sure, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You will connect a cable from your ISP modem to the router.
