R6700AXS VPN
Hello, I bought this R6700AXS router to be able to use VPN (I have expressVPN) but it looks like I can only use it for PureVPN which I'm not interested in. ExpressVPN does not have firmware that ...
Thank you for replying to my post. I thought that as long as the router has VPN capabilities it will work just fine, but I did not know that it needed OPEN VPN. I guess my question is what router is best where it matches or is better than the one I bought? Does not need to be Netgear just something below $100. Please let me know as I'm not an expert in those types of things.
don't try to put the v3 firmware on the R6700ax. If you can even get it to take the firmware (it shouldn't), its different hardware and will brick it.
Your best option if you're using expressvpn is to look at their list of supported routers and pick one of those.
You can use that router as the primary and use a 2nd router as an access point if you want better wireless than the 1st can provide.
