The 5 best VPN routers of 2023

January 20, 2023 TH Author

Features: Wi-Fi 6 | Built-in VPN | 802.11ax, 802.11ac | Diverse server locations

The ExpressVPN Aircove is our top pick based on the router’s speed, ease of setup, and security. The router offers users dual-band connectivity for homes or offices, providing coverage of up to 1,600 sq. ft.

When you pick a VPN-ready router, you still need to consider stability and speed. The Aircove manages speeds of up to 1,200Mbps (600Mbps/2.4GHz) when the VPN is not in use, although, as we should expect, speeds will drop when you are connected to VPN servers.

An interesting feature is an option to diversify what servers are used by what devices connected to the router. For example, you might want a gaming PC to be disconnected from the VPN, whereas you want an office laptop to run through a US or UK VPN server. However, in any case, you will also need an ExpressVPN subscription.
