ExpressVPN with AC1750

Hello, everyone.

So... I was trying to get ExpressVPN working with my AppleTV without MediaStreamer but the only option was to get a compatible router.

They’re compatible with R6700v3 or R7000

I bought what seems to be an AC1750 but it also says R6700. I know this is probably stupid and I got confused. But is this the same model EpxressVPN claims to be compatible with?

Please help 😫

       Look for "Model" on the product label.  So far, there have been three
    hardware variants of the R6700: R6700[v1], R6700v2, and R6700v3.  (No
    "vX" suffix means "v1".)  They have similar characteristics, but
    different innards, and they use different firmware.

       If EpxressVPN said "R6700v3", and your gizmo says
    "R6700<something_else>", then it's not the right model.


       Beware the fine print.

      Yeah. Thanks antinode.

      I was about to advice anyone reading my post to not me a dumba** like me. After being so confused I read the label and it does say R6700v3. So, kids out there, be smarter than me, please.

      And, antinode, thank you for your reply!!!
