FAQs

Q: What is Aircove?

A: Aircove is the first and only wireless internet router on the market that is specially built to connect to ExpressVPN directly. This allows the router to provide VPN functionality to every device that connects to it.

Aircove also comes with built-in advanced protection features: Threat Manager, an ad blocker, and parental controls. These are designed to work seamlessly with the VPN, providing whole-home protection with one easy-to-use router.

Q: How is Aircove different from other routers?

A: While any router can provide internet access, Aircove goes one better: It instantly brings all the benefits of ExpressVPN to everything on your network. If it’s connected, it’s protected. You don’t need to install ExpressVPN on any other device, if you don’t want to.

Aircove has also been built with security top of mind. An audit conducted by cybersecurity firm Cure53 confirmed that our VPN router, Aircove, has a robust level of security.

Q: How is Aircove different from Aircove Go?

A: Aircove is an easy-to-use VPN router designed for medium-sized homes, apartments, and offices with a range of 150 sq. m.

Aircove Go is modeled after Aircove, but with a portable and lightweight form factor. It’s designed with freedom in mind, and is perfect for users in smaller homes or on the go.

Q: Do I need an ExpressVPN subscription if I have an Aircove router?

A: Although Aircove comes with ExpressVPN preinstalled, you need to activate it with an ongoing subscription if you want to enjoy VPN benefits.

Without an active ExpressVPN subscription, Aircove will still perform standard Wi-Fi and network functions, just like any other router, and its advanced protection features will operate as normal.

Q: Do I need an ExpressVPN subscription to use Threat Manager, the ad blocker, or parental controls?

A: No, these features are included with your Aircove.

Q: Can I use Aircove’s Threat Manager, ad blocker, and parental controls without the VPN?

A: Yes, these features can be used with or without the VPN.

Q: Do I need an internet service provider (ISP) with Aircove?

A: Yes, you will need an ISP to connect to the internet. Your ISP gives your home access to the internet, while Aircove distributes the internet access to all your connected devices.

Q: Is Aircove a Wi-Fi mesh system?

A: No, Aircove is a single router where all wireless traffic and requests pass through one access point. If you have an existing mesh system, Aircove can be connected to one of the nodes with the highest concentration of devices that you want to protect with a VPN.

Q: What internet speeds will I get with Aircove?

​​A: In our testing, Aircove’s high-performance quad-core CPU enables download speeds of up to 910 Mbps over Ethernet and 615 Mbps over Wi-Fi with VPN disconnected.

When the VPN is in use, Aircove offers speeds of up to 180 Mbps for multiple devices simultaneously. (For reference, 4K streaming typically requires download speeds of 25 Mbps, while HD requires 5 Mbps.)

Maximums are based on ideal use conditions. Actual range and performance depend on your internet service provider, home size, layout, device usage, building materials, and obstructions.
