I have been using Express vpn for a while now. I am also in the market for a wifi 6 router. I am wanting one that is compatable with Express. I contacted them and they said they need to test the routers first to make sure they are compatable and secure. No ETA yet but I would guess in the next month or two they will reccomend a couple models. It might not be preinstalled but it's not that difficult to do it yourself.

I stuck to the one router that i have been using and not bothered with the wifi6 because of the reasons stated above. My speeds are fast now.. on tv i get over 125, and more than i need.. it is faster not slower than before, my isp isn't impressed but too bad.
If it aint broke don't try fix it.. I'm glad i didnt spend a cent upgrading to something that can't be any faster or better than i have now. and the support at express is better than here, as you would know. so if you are set on getting a 6 before they are widely useful.. get any brand and put express on yourself as you said its easy. advise..don't upgrade their firmware i had to get them to set mine back to the last, they acknowledge its dodgy themselves (at the moment at least).
