CLICK APPLY SETTINGS

Leave all settings not mentioned above as their default setting.

Verify a successful VyprVPN connection

Navigate to the Status > OpenVPN

  1. You should now see a CONNECTED SUCCESS message.
  2. Visit to WhatIsMyIPAddress to verify your new IP address and virtual location.

In some cases you may notice that the location is not showing the same location as the server you have input in your router settings; this is because geo tracking tools are often tricked by VPN connections. As long as you see an IP address that is not the same as your normal Internet IP address then you are indeed connected to VyprVPN.

Back up your settings

Navigate to Administration > Backup

  1. Click the Backup button.
  2. A file named nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer.
  3. You can load nvrambak.bin to restore your settings in the event of a reset.

How to change the VyprVPN server

  1. Copy the new VyprVPN server address from the above server list.
  2. Paste the server into the Server IP/Name field and Click Apply Settings.

CLICK APPLY SETTINGS

Leave all settings not mentioned above as their default setting.

Verify a successful PIA connection

Navigate to Status > OpenVPN

  1. You should now see a CONNECTED SUCCESS message.
  2. Visit PIA’s IP Check to verify your new IP address and virtual location.

In some cases you may notice that the location is not showing the same location as the server you have input in your router settings; this is because geo tracking tools are often tricked by VPN connections. As long as you see an IP address that is not the same as your normal Internet IP address then you are indeed connected to PIA.

Back up your settings

Navigate to Administration > Backup

  1. Click the Backup button.
  2. A file named nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer.
  3. You can load nvrambak.bin to restore your settings in the event of a reset.

How to change the PIA server

  1. Copy the new PIA server address from the above server list.
  2. Paste the server into the Server IP/Name field.
  3. Click Apply Settings.

NordVPN Setup for AsusWRT: Token, WireGuard & OpenVPN

· ·

Set up NordVPN on an ASUS router using AsusWRT VPN Fusion. Supported ASUS firmware offers three different VPN types: NordVPN (access-token integration), WireGuard (downloadable .conf file), and OpenVPN (manual service credentials plus an .ovpn file). Choose the method that matches your needs and your router’s available options.

All configuration is completed directly through your ASUS router’s administration interface using VPN Fusion. Before starting, make sure your router is connected to the internet, your firmware supports VPN Fusion, and you have an active NordVPN subscription.

Which NordVPN Option Should You Choose?

1. NordVPN

NordVPN access token and a country/region dropdown. The built-in ASUS/NordVPN integration is the simplest approach if you only need a country, not an exact server file.

Follow token setup →

2. WireGuard

Import a NordVPN .conf configuration file for a server selected in Nord Account. Useful when you want a downloaded profile for a particular server.

Follow WireGuard setup →

3. OpenVPN

Import a NordVPN .ovpn server file and enter your separate manual service username and password. Also used for NordVPN Dedicated IP.

Follow OpenVPN setup →

Option 1: NordVPN Dropdown — Token-Based NordLynx

Select the NordVPN type inside VPN Fusion. This is the integrated token-based setup and offers a country/region selection, rather than a manually imported server file.

  1. In Nord Account, open NordVPN Access Tokens and complete email/account verification if requested.
  2. Generate an access token, choose an expiry period if NordVPN offers that setting, and copy the token immediately (it may only be displayed once).
  3. On your ASUS router, open VPN > VPN Fusion > Add profile.
  4. Set VPN Type to NordVPN. Name the profile, select your preferred Region, and paste the token.
  5. Choose Apply to all devices if you want it as the default route, or assign only selected devices (see the VPN Fusion guide below).
  6. Click Apply and Enable / Apply all settings, as shown in your firmware, and verify the profile connects.

In VPN Fusion, select NordVPN, choose a region, and enter your NordVPN access token.

Need a specific server? Use the separate WireGuard file method below or the OpenVPN configuration-file method. Do not expect the token-based country dropdown to accept a .conf or .ovpn file.

Option 2: WireGuard Dropdown — Import a NordVPN .conf File

NordVPN provides downloadable WireGuard configuration files through its manual server recommendation page. This is different from the built-in NordVPN token option in VPN Fusion.

Download the NordVPN WireGuard configuration

  1. Sign in to Nord Account and open NordVPN Server Recommendation.
  2. Choose your preferred country and server. Use the available filters to narrow the list if needed.
  3. Choose Get setup configuration, select WireGuard, and click Download config. Save the downloaded .conf file.

Download the WireGuard configuration file for your selected NordVPN server.

Import the configuration into ASUS VPN Fusion

  1. On your ASUS router, open VPN > VPN Fusion > Add profile, then select WireGuard as the VPN type (not NordVPN).
  2. Enter a recognizable connection name, such as NordVPN – USA WireGuard. Click Upload Config and select the .conf file you downloaded from NordVPN.
  3. Save the profile, choose which devices should use it (or apply it to all devices), and enable the VPN. Confirm the profile connects and check the public IP of a device using that profile.

In ASUS VPN Fusion, select WireGuard and upload your downloaded NordVPN configuration file.

NordVPN’s official instructions: How to download WireGuard and OpenVPN configuration files.

Option 3: OpenVPN Dropdown — Credentials + .ovpn File

OpenVPN requires two separate items: the configuration file for your desired server and NordVPN’s manual service credentials. Your normal Nord Account email/password is not the correct credential pair for this method.

  1. Open NordVPN Manual Service Credentials and copy the service username and service password after any required verification.
  2. Open NordVPN OpenVPN Configuration Files and choose a server/location. Download its UDP .ovpn file, or TCP .ovpn if UDP does not work on your network.
  3. On ASUS, go to VPN > VPN Fusion > Add profile and set VPN Type to OpenVPN.
  4. Enter a connection name, Import .ovpn file, and paste the NordVPN manual service username and password in the corresponding fields.
  5. Choose devices or Apply to all devices, then click Apply and Enable. Confirm VPN Fusion shows a successful connection.

Select OpenVPN, import the server configuration file, and enter your NordVPN manual service credentials.

Server selection: The location is controlled by the server named in the imported .ovpn file. To switch locations, import another server file or use a separate OpenVPN profile.

NordVPN Dedicated IP — OpenVPN Only

If you have purchased and activated the NordVPN Dedicated IP add-on, use your specific Dedicated IP OpenVPN configuration file. Do not select the ordinary NordVPN token integration or a regular shared server.

  1. In your Nord Account, open the Dedicated IP details and download the assigned server’s OpenVPN UDP or TCP configuration file, following NordVPN Dedicated IP manual configuration instructions.
  2. Open NordVPN Manual Service Credentials and copy the manual username and password.
  3. In ASUS VPN Fusion > Add profile, choose OpenVPN.
  4. Import the Dedicated IP .ovpn file, enter manual service credentials, save, enable, and verify the public IP matches your assigned Dedicated IP.

Assign Devices, Verify the VPN, and Troubleshoot

One VPN for everyone, or different VPNs for different devices?

VPN Fusion lets you use a VPN profile as the default connection for all devices or assign specific client devices to different profiles. Some supported ASUS models can maintain one WireGuard tunnel alongside multiple OpenVPN profiles, but the number of simultaneous tunnels is model/firmware dependent; creating multiple profiles does not mean all can be active simultaneously.

For step-by-step device assignments, default routing, profile conflicts, and bypassing the VPN, see How to Use ASUS VPN Fusion: Assign Devices and Multiple VPNs. For a dedicated WiFi network with VPN or ISP routing, see ASUS Guest WiFi With or Without VPN: Setup Guide.

Verify the IP of the actual device

  1. Confirm your chosen profile shows Connected in VPN Fusion.
  2. Join the ASUS WiFi or LAN using a device that is actually assigned to that VPN profile.
  3. Open NordVPN IP Address Check and compare the public IP/location with the intended server or Dedicated IP.
  4. If the device shows an ISP IP, first check Apply to all devices and the per-device assignments in VPN Fusion.
  5. Disconnect a NordVPN app, Apple iCloud Private Relay, browser VPN/proxy, or other device-level network service during testing. Follow Device Settings That Can Interfere With Your Router VPN.

If VPN Fusion will not connect

  1. Temporarily disable the failing profile and confirm the ASUS router works using its normal ISP internet connection.
  2. For NordVPN type, check that the access token is valid and hasn’t expired; regenerate if needed.
  3. For WireGuard, import a fresh .conf from the Nord server recommendation page and make sure the profile is enabled.
  4. For OpenVPN, double-check manual service credentials (not website credentials) and try a different server file or TCP instead of UDP.
  5. Check that device-assignment rules point to the intended active profile, then retest with one clean device.

Which DD-WRT wireless extender setup should I be using?

· ·

FlashRouters supports four unique DD-WRT wireless extender setups – options similar to an open source Mesh network. Each different wireless extender configuration serves a different purpose. Read below to see which guide fits your configuration requirements!

Wireless Repeater

Why should I choose Wireless Repeater Setup?

  1. If you have a MiFi wireless only internet connection or other type of WiFi internet where there is no access to any ethernet port for a wired internet connection, then you can setup a wireless repeater network to both extend WiFi and add wired connection capabilities.
  2. If you have a large home or office area that requires additional WiFi coverage can use a wireless repeater setup to extend the existing network.
  3. If you want to create a separate VPN WiFi network in your home without placing the FlashRouter in the same room as your primary router you can use wireless repeater to establish a WiFi internet connection and then connect to VPN on your WiFi repeater network.
  4. If you want a wireless Dual Router setup option where you can have local ISP IP address through your main router WiFi network and your VPN IP address through your FlashRouter Wireless Repeater WiFi network, both available for you to connect at all times. Each network is on a unique subnet.

View the FlashRouter Wireless Repeater Setup Guide.
