The upgrades include speed improvements, and a more intuitive UI and dashboard experience, cementing the provider&#8217;s status as the best router VPN.<\/p>\n<p>Installing a VPN on your Wi-Fi router is an ideal way of protecting a household&#8217;s worth of devices, and allows smart devices that don&#8217;t have native VPN apps to connect to a VPN-protected network.<\/p>\n<p>AircoveOS 5.3.0 can be downloaded now. For ExpressVPN users with auto-updates enabled, your Aircove router will update automatically. Those who have auto-updates disabled will have to install the update manually.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/t8RD2qJ887pbUN2f4aHPYV-200-100.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>ExpressVPN: the best router VPN<\/strong><br \/>ExpressVPN is the best router VPN out there.
