TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, September 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Leading consumer privacy and security company ExpressVPN today announces its first foray into hardware products with the launch of ExpressVPN Aircove.
Aircove is the first and only Wi-Fi 6 router to come standard with built-in VPN and a user interface tailored for those who want to protect their families with a VPN. With Aircove, users can easily enjoy holistic home security, with VPN protection right out of the box.

“The average US household now has 25 devices connected to the home Wi-Fi network.[1] From laptops to smart TVs, things add up quickly and it becomes harder to keep track and know each device is protected. That’s why we built Aircove to give users a simple, flexible VPN-protected internet connection in any room, on any device, for every member of the household,” he said Harold LiVice President, ExpressVPN.
According to a recent study, 98% of all IoT device traffic is unencrypted, potentially allowing attackers to easily extract personal and sensitive data.[2] With its easy setup, Aircove enables users to protect and encrypt every device in their home in minutes. This includes smart TVs, voice assistants, and other IoT devices that are typically not compatible with VPN software.
Aircove was designed with user privacy and security as the top priority. For example, users can share their home Wi-Fi network with their visitors simply by scanning a QR code – no password sharing required. Aircove also has an auto-update feature, so users always have the latest features and security improvements to keep their network safe and secure.
ExpressVPN also invited cybersecurity company Cure53 to conduct a penetration test and source code review of Aircove before launch. The test was conducted in June and July 2022.
Aircove uses Wi-Fi 6 for faster and more reliable wireless connections, enabling speeds of up to 1200Mbps (600Mbps for 2.4GHz and 1200Mbps for 5GHz). It includes houses up to 1,600 square meters in size and is for sale in the United States of America at Amazon starting today at a special introductory price of $169 (usual price $189).
ExpressVPN has over a decade of experience protecting users around the world and five years of experience making market-leading router firmware. Aircove enables ExpressVPN to provide its users with:
Better performance: ExpressVPN now has more control over software-hardware compatibility and optimization, allowing them to provide faster app updates for better speed, more reliable connections, and faster rollout of new features.
Better experience: ExpressVPN’s unique router app is already the best out there, and now it’s even better. Aircove further simplifies the VPN router experience for users. That means no more routers blinking – VPN protection is up and running right out of the box.
Better price: 1 in 3 of ExpressVPN’s router app users spend at least $250 on a VPN capable router. Aircove offers an even better product and experience at a lower price.
“We’re reinventing digital home protection with Aircove’s plug-and-play simplicity. It delivers our award-winning software in an easy-to-use router device, and we’re excited to offer users another way to experience the best of ExpressVPN throughout their home,” said Li.
Aircove is available now from Amazon at the introductory price of $169 for a limited time while supplies last (UP: $189.90). Visit the Aircove product page to learn more.
