FAQ
What is Aircove?
Aircove is the first and only wireless internet router on the market that is specially built to connect to ExpressVPN directly. This allows the router to provide VPN functionality to every device that connects to it.
Aircove also comes with built-in advanced protection features: Threat Manager, an ad blocker, and parental controls. These are designed to work seamlessly with the VPN, providing whole-home protection with one easy-to-use router.
How is Aircove different from other routers?
While any router can provide internet access, Aircove goes one better: It instantly brings all the benefits of ExpressVPN to everything on your network. If it’s connected, it’s protected. You don’t need to install ExpressVPN on any other device, if you don’t want to.
Aircove has also been built with security top of mind. An audit conducted by cybersecurity firm Cure53 confirmed that our VPN router, Aircove, has a robust level of security.

If you see "Sold by: Express Technologies Ltd,” the Aircove unit is brand new.
If you see “Sold by: FlashRouters,” the Aircove unit is refurbished.
Do I need an ExpressVPN subscription if I have Aircove?
Although Aircove comes with ExpressVPN preinstalled, you need to activate it with an ongoing subscription if you want to enjoy VPN benefits.
Without an active ExpressVPN subscription, Aircove will still perform standard Wi-Fi and network functions, just like any other router, and its advanced protection features will operate as normal.
Do I need a separate subscription to use Threat Manager, the ad blocker, or parental controls?
No, these features are included with your Aircove.
Can I use Aircove’s Threat Manager, ad blocker, and parental controls without the VPN?
Yes, these features can be used with or without the VPN.
Do I need an internet service provider (ISP) with Aircove?
Yes, you will need an ISP to connect to the internet. Your ISP gives your home access to the internet, while Aircove distributes the internet access to all your connected devices.
Do I need a Netflix/HBO/Prime Video/other streaming service account if I have Aircove?
If you want to access streaming content, yes. Aircove does not come with any streaming accounts, so if you don’t already have a subscription to Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Prime Video, or any other paid streaming service, you’ll need to sign up separately.
Is Aircove a Wi-Fi mesh system?
No, Aircove is a single router where all wireless traffic and requests pass through one access point. If you have an existing mesh system, Aircove can be connected to one of the nodes with the highest concentration of devices that you want to protect with a VPN.
How many VPN server locations can you use with Aircove?
ExpressVPN has VPN servers in 105 countries, including the UK, U.S., Canada, Australia, and many more. See the full list of VPN server locations.
