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 ...

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.
- Jonny0349Mar 16, 2021AspirantYeah. 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!!!
