How to Use ASUS VPN Fusion: Assign Devices and Multiple VPNs

Dave · Oct 26, 2026 ·

ASUS VPN Fusion lets supported AsusWRT routers run VPN client profiles and decide which connected devices use each VPN connection. You can send the entire network through one VPN, use separate VPN profiles for selected devices, or leave certain devices on the regular ISP connection.

This guide covers how to use ASUS VPN Fusion to assign devices to specific VPN connections, manage multiple VPN profiles simultaneously, and choose which devices use a VPN or connect directly through your ISP. These features work with supported VPN providers and protocols, including WireGuard and OpenVPN.

In This Guide

Before You Start →Connect and open VPN FusionApply VPN to All Devices →Default VPN routeAssign Selected Devices →Per-device VPN or ISPMultiple VPN Profiles →WireGuard and OpenVPNVerify & Troubleshoot →Check each device’s public IPGuest Network Routing →VPN WiFi and ISP WiFi

Open VPN Fusion

  1. Connect your computer or phone to your ASUS FlashRouter’s WiFi or LAN.
  2. Open http://www.asusrouter.com or the router’s LAN IP (often 192.168.50.1) and log in. See How to Access Your AsusWRT FlashRouter Settings.
  3. Go to VPN > VPN Fusion. Add and configure at least one working VPN client profile before assigning devices.
ASUS VPN Fusion page with Add Profile and Internet Connection
VPN Fusion displays your saved VPN profiles and the Add Profile option.

The exact menu names, profile limits, and available VPN types depend on your ASUS model and firmware. Some older ASUS routers use a different VPN Client interface and do not have the full VPN Fusion controls.

Method 1: Apply One VPN to All Devices

Use this option when you want the selected VPN profile to be your router’s default connection.

  1. In VPN Fusion, open the VPN profile that should provide the default internet route.
  2. Enable Apply to all devices (or Default Connection in firmware that uses that label).
  3. Click Apply all settings, then enable the VPN profile.
  4. Connect a test device to the router and check its IP. If you use per-device overrides, verify those rules separately.
ASUS VPN Fusion Apply to all devices setting and device count
Enable Apply to all devices to use the selected VPN as the default connection.

Do not assume every active VPN profile applies to every device. The default route and any device-specific policies determine which connection a device uses.

Method 2: Send Only Selected Devices Through a VPN

  1. In VPN Fusion, turn off Apply to all devices for a profile when you do not want that VPN used network-wide.
  2. Open the profile’s Device area using the pencil/edit icon or the firmware’s device-assignment control.
  3. Select the intended devices (for example, a TV and streaming box), confirm with OK, then click Apply all settings.
  4. Enable the VPN profile and verify the selected devices’ public IPs.
  5. For devices that should use the normal ISP internet, leave them on the Internet Connection route or explicitly set the Internet/bypass rule available in your firmware. Remove any conflicting VPN assignments.

Important: A device being connected to ASUS WiFi does not guarantee that it is assigned to the desired VPN. Check the assigned profile and the actual public IP.

How Multiple VPN Connections Work

On supported models, VPN Fusion can keep several VPN connections active and route different devices through different providers at the same time. For example:

TVNordVPN — WireGuard
LaptopProton VPN — OpenVPN
Streaming deviceSurfshark — OpenVPN
Work computerRegular ISP connection

You may be able to run one WireGuard profile and multiple OpenVPN profiles concurrently, but connection limits and supported combinations vary by ASUS router model and firmware. Adding many saved OpenVPN profiles is not the same as having all of them connected at once.

  1. Create separate profiles with clear names, such as Nord-US-WG, Proton-US-OVPN, and Surfshark-UK-OVPN.
  2. Enable only the profiles you need and confirm each shows connected.
  3. Assign each client device to the appropriate active profile; avoid applying conflicting default routes.
  4. Verify each device’s observed IP and server country. If one tunnel fails, test it individually with the other profiles temporarily disabled.

ASUS reference: How VPN Fusion handles multiple tunnels and devices.

Confirm a Device Is Actually Using the VPN

  1. In VPN Fusion, confirm the target profile’s connection status is active.
  2. Check the device’s assignment in the ASUS VPN Fusion interface.
  3. On that same device, visit IPLeak.net or another public-IP checker.
  4. Compare the reported public IP and location with the VPN server assigned to that device.
  5. If the device still shows your ISP IP, test with its own VPN app and iCloud Private Relay / Private DNS / browser proxy disabled. Use Device Settings That Can Interfere With Your Router VPN.

Quick isolation test

  1. Turn off VPN Fusion routing for a test device and confirm ISP internet works.
  2. Turn on just one known-working VPN profile for that device.
  3. Recheck public IP. If it now works, reintroduce other profiles/assignments individually.

Want a Separate WiFi Network With or Without VPN?

Rather than selecting devices one at a time, supported ASUS routers offer Guest Network Pro or Network > VPN Network features that can associate a WiFi SSID with VPN routing. See ASUS Guest WiFi With or Without VPN: Setup Guide.

On routers with only the traditional Guest Network feature, available VPN-by-SSID behavior may differ; do not assume the standard guest SSID bypasses a network-wide VPN default.

ASUS Guest WiFi With or Without VPN: Setup Guide

Dave · Oct 26, 2026 ·

On supported ASUS routers, you can create a separate WiFi network (SSID) that routes connected devices through a VPN profile, while another network uses the regular ISP connection. This is useful for streaming TVs, guests, work devices, and family members who need different VPN behavior.

The available controls depend on your ASUS model and firmware. Newer routers may call the feature Guest Network Pro or simply Network; older routers may only have Guest Network, which does not offer the same VPN-by-SSID options.

In This Guide

Check Your ASUS Model →Guest Network Pro vs. legacyCreate a VPN WiFi →SSID associated with VPNCreate an ISP WiFi →Network without VPNTest Both Networks →Verify VPN and ISP IPsCommon Mistakes →Default routes, DNS and firmwareRelated Guides →VPN setup and device routing

What You Need Before Starting

  1. Connect to your ASUS router and open http://www.asusrouter.com or its LAN IP. For login details, see AsusWRT Router Access Guide.
  2. For a VPN WiFi network, first set up and verify at least one connected VPN profile under VPN > VPN Fusion. Choose a supported VPN provider from the AsusWRT VPN Setup Guides, then review How to Use ASUS VPN Fusion: Assign Devices and Multiple VPNs for routing options.
  3. Look for Guest Network Pro, Network, or VPN Network in your ASUS firmware. If you only see the traditional Guest Network screen, read the legacy note below before proceeding.

Firmware compatibility: ASUS documents VPN Network functionality on eligible models with firmware 3.0.0.6.102_34312 or later, with the Guest Network Pro section renamed Network from 3.0.0.6.102_35404. Not all models, regions, or firmware builds offer the same features.

Create a Dedicated WiFi Network That Uses the VPN

Preferred route for supported ASUS models: create a VPN Network SSID so all devices joining that SSID use the chosen VPN without individual device assignments.

  1. Open Guest Network Pro > VPN Network, or the equivalent Network > Add Network > VPN Network menu in newer firmware.
  2. Choose a recognizable WiFi name such as Home-VPN and a strong WiFi password.
  3. Select the configured, connected VPN Fusion client/profile and enable VPN routing for that network.
  4. Review any options for local-network access, guest isolation, and bands, then click Apply.
  5. Connect a test device to the new Home-VPN WiFi SSID and check its public IP.

ASUS official walkthrough: Guest Network Pro / VPN Network Setup.

Alternative: Assign a VPN to an Existing Guest Network Pro SSID

  1. In Guest Network Pro / Network, open the existing Guest Network profile.
  2. Select the VPN tab, enable VPN routing, and choose your existing VPN Fusion client.
  3. Click Apply, reconnect a device to the guest SSID, and verify the VPN IP.

ASUS also documents this path: Assign a VPN to Guest Network Pro.

Create a Separate WiFi Network Without a VPN

Use a guest/secondary network routed through the regular ISP internet connection for devices that should not use the VPN.

  1. Under Guest Network Pro / Network, add a normal Guest Network or other suitable network profile (not the VPN Network preset).
  2. Set a clear name such as Home-ISP and secure it with a strong password.
  3. In that network profile’s VPN tab, leave the VPN assignment disabled or choose the Internet/ISP path if your firmware offers it.
  4. Check your VPN Fusion default connection and device policies. If a VPN is set to Apply to all devices, simply turning off the Guest Network’s VPN toggle may not guarantee an ISP bypass on every firmware. Configure an explicit ISP/bypass route where supported.
  5. Save, join the Home-ISP network with a test device, and confirm the public IP matches the ISP connection.

Always test the actual public IP. Different ASUS firmwares apply VPN Fusion defaults and network-profile overrides differently. A WiFi name that says “ISP” or “No VPN” does not itself enforce a VPN bypass.

Confirm Each WiFi Network Uses the Intended Internet Route

  1. Connect a phone or laptop to the VPN WiFi SSID. Disable any VPN app or iCloud Private Relay on the device for this test.
  2. Visit WhatIsMyIPAddress.com and note the public IP and location. This should reflect your selected VPN endpoint.
  3. Disconnect and join the ISP WiFi SSID. Repeat the IP check; it should now show the ISP’s public internet route.
  4. If both SSIDs show the same IP, review the VPN Fusion default profile, guest-network VPN assignment, and any device-specific rules.

Common Issues and What to Check

I only see “Guest Network,” not “Guest Network Pro” or “VPN Network”

Your router may use older firmware or lack this feature. Traditional Guest Network creates a separate WiFi SSID, but the VPN routing option may not exist. Use VPN Fusion device assignments as an alternative rather than assuming the guest network automatically bypasses or uses the VPN.

Every network still uses the VPN

Check whether Apply to all devices is enabled in VPN Fusion. If it is, verify that the guest profile actually overrides the default route on your firmware. You may need an explicit per-network or per-device ISP rule.

A phone reports the wrong IP although the guest VPN profile is correct

Temporarily disable device-level VPN apps, iCloud Private Relay / Limit IP Address Tracking, browser proxy, or Private DNS settings, then reconnect. See Device Settings That Interfere With Router VPN.

Guest devices cannot reach local printers or other LAN devices

Check the guest network’s intranet access / network isolation settings. Changing isolation affects LAN access, not necessarily VPN selection. Keep guests isolated unless LAN access is actually needed.

Sales FAQs

Can My Router Be Preconfigured With My VPN Information?

Plug and Play VPN Support

Yes you can!

To receive a plug and play with VPN device, you will need to provide our team with the credentials from your VPN provider subscription.

Privacy Hero 2 Only:

While our team isn’t able to pre-configure the Privacy Hero 2 VPN Router before shipping it out since you’ll have to make a Privacy Hero user account and register your router, we can assist you with the VPN set up process once you receive the router and create your Privacy Hero user account via 1-on-1 remote session, email, or live chat on our site.

You can also use our step-by-step Privacy Hero VPN Router Setup Guide to complete the process.

Can I Use My Dedicated IP Address With A FlashRouter?

Dedicated IP Addresses from NordVPN, SurfShark, & TorGuard are supported on almost all of our FlashRouter options.

Check out our Dedicated IP Addresses Blog Post for more details!

Will a FlashRouter Work With My Internet Service Provider?

US Customers (Single Router Solution):

Almost all Internet Service Providers(ISPs) require a modem in place to establish a connection to their service, however a modem by itself doesn’t provide the wifi connectivity needed in the home or office. A FlashRouter can connect directly to all known modems provided by major ISPs to create a wireless network so long as there is an Ethernet port on the modem to connect to the FlashRouter Internet port. 

US Customers (Dual Router Solution): 

Yes, FlashRouters are compatible with your ISP in what is called a Dual Router Set Up.

For this type of setup, you would use your current router or modem router to connect to your local ISP while using a FlashRouter to connect to your VPN. This is recommended as you will not overhaul your network with a new router, and you will be able to use your selected VPN service on the devices you wish to use it with.

This set up would result in the creation of two networks, which can be seen as the “Local Network” and the “FlashRouter Network”. All devices connected to the FlashRouter Network will go through the VPN service. 

For any device you would prefer to use without a VPN, you can connect to the local network. The chain of devices would be connected from LAN ton your modem or modem/router to WAN on the FlashRouter, with your current router connected to the FlashRouter via Ethernet cable. 

 

International Customers (Single Router Solution):

Almost all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) require a modem in place to establish a connection to their service, however a modem by itself doesn’t provide the wifi connectivity needed in the home or office. A FlashRouter can connect directly to all known modems provided by major ISPs to create a wireless network so long as there is an Ethernet port on the modem to connect to the FlashRouter Internet port. 

International Customers (Dual Router Solution):

ISPs should all be compatible. Some providers require VLAN tagging/VID settings when wiring directly from modem to FlashRouter. 

For this type of setup, you would use your current router or modem router to connect to your local ISP while using a FlashRouter to connect to your VPN. This is recommended as you will not overhaul your network with a new router, and you will be able to use your selected VPN service on the devices you wish to use it with.

This set up would result in the creation of two networks, which can be seen as the “Local Network” and the “FlashRouter Network”. All devices connected to the FlashRouter Network will go through the VPN service. 

For any device you would prefer to use without a VPN, you can connect to the local network. The chain of devices would be connected from LAN ton your modem or modem/router to WAN on the FlashRouter, with your current router connected to the FlashRouter via Ethernet cable. 

What Stock Firmware Features Will I Lose If I Flash My Router

Open Source firmware like DD-WRT or Assu Merlin has many features equivalent to what stock firmware has, in addition to adding new features to a router. However, some features are lost from the stock firmware when a router is flashed.

These are typically features that are put into the stock firmware by the manufacturers themselves. Things like the Linksys App and the NetGear Genie are examples of what would not be available or compatible on the router after flashing.

Most routers also have a WPS button. By default, the WPS button’s functionality is disabled when a router is flashed as it can be vulnerable and a security risk. It can be re-enabled by following this guide but we do not recommend it.

Does a FlashRouter or Service Plan Purchase Include a VPN Subscription?

A subscription to a VPN does not come with a FlashRouter or Service plan. If you are planning to use a VPN, you would need to sign up for one separately, directly from a provider.

Need assistance in finding a VPN Provider? Please visit our recent VPN Provider Best Seller List.

Plug and Play VPN Support

Unlike other VPN Router providers, FlashRouters is proud to offer free VPN service integration with any purchase.

To receive a plug and play with VPN device, you will need to provide our team with the credentials from your VPN provider subscription.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not required but recommended for users who wish to have the simplest, most seamless experience when the FlashRouter arrives. You can always change the password when the device arrives if you wish as well.

Shows what to look for when you want to preconfigure your router.

To have your router VPN pre-configured:

  1. Select Yes from the “Want Your Router Preconfigured?” on the Payment Page during checkout.
  2. Select your VPN provider. If you don’t see your VPN listed select “Other” and you will see an additional field to input who your provider is.
  3. Enter your your VPN username and password
  4. For ExpressVPN Firmware Routers there will be an additional box for your activation code.

Please note:  If you do not enter a server location request in “Order Comments”, we will automatically start the device with the closest/optimal server for the location we are shipping the device by default. A location has to be added to the initial configuration for plug and play encryption security to occur on the device.

Can I Use A FlashRouter To Work From Home?

Yes! A large number of our customers use their FlashRouters to “work from home” no matter where your travels take you. Check out our Working Remotely Blog Post for more details.

What is the Difference Between Business VPNs and VPN Services?

Location: VPN Services offer many server locations to encrypt your traffic through. They are located in several countries worldwide for creating a private VPN tunnel for your online activities. A business VPN connects to specific central servers for data or directly to your office, creating a direct tunnel for accessing sensitive work documents and information.

Logging: Most VPN services offer log-free connections for total anonymity and security when connected (it is important to check out their terms of service and privacy policy for full details). A business VPN is monitored and maintained by employers such as corporations, hospitals or universities.

Protection: VPN services secure your family’s personal data while using computers, SmartTVs and various Internet of Things devices. Business VPNs protect the data of the company while you are tunneling into work.

Are There VPN Service Providers That Offer VPN for Business?

There are in fact several trusted VPN providers that have services specially tailored for business use. NordVPN Teams and VyprVPN for Business offer a full suite of solutions like user management tools, dedicated IPs, personal product managers, global server access, business pricing, and more.

These solutions allow you to quickly deploy a safe and secure corporate network without building and maintaining your own servers. If you are a small business looking to quickly secure remote workers as they shift to work from home, and you do not have an in-house IT expert, then you should consider NordVPN Teams or VyprVPN for Business.

Even better, when choosing a business VPN provider like NordVPN or VyprVPN, employees can use routers with direct NordVPN and VyprVPN integration already included through the FR Privacy App. Meaning that a full network kill switch, routing by device, automatic connections, and more are all included as features with your business VPN connection.

Can I use a VPN on a FlashRouter With My Work/Corporate VPN?

Many of our customers have found that they can connect to both their corporate and personal VPN, however due to the variables beyond our control, we cannot guarantee this for every unique situation.

Using two VPNs at once can lead to unpredictable results. Bouncing your network traffic to multiple servers before finally arriving at it’s intended destination can sometimes introduce speed and connection issues.

Please consider that some employers and agencies are more vigilant regarding third party VPN use than others. There are tools readily available that detect the use of VPN services.

While these tools cannot decrypt and view your network traffic, they can tell your employer that you are potentially using a VPN, which can be against company policy.

If your corporate and personal VPN do not work together, then you can always set the computer using your work VPN to bypass the FlashRouter’s VPN tunnel by accessing the router admin panel for your device.

This way, your computer would only use the work VPN. Keep in mind however, your location would appear as your actual location to your work.

Every FlashRouter also comes with a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

If in the event you determine the FlashRouter is not working out for you, you can return the device within the first 30 Days. A $25 restocking fee does apply.

Can I Use a FlashRouter to Connect to a Dedicated Business VPN Network?

Of course! If you have an OpenVPN server running on a local machine or hosted on a cloud provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS), FlashRouters can create a custom router client configuration to connect the entire router and all connected devices to your OpenVPN server. Instead of employees connecting device-by-device, a router-based VPN connection allows for always-on secure VPN tunneling.

Our service team is here to work with you to test and ensure compatibility before purchasing. Interested in a router based custom client VPN solution for your remote workers? Please do not hesitate to contact us.

And, if you’re looking for a specific router, take a look at some of our most popular options!

How can I Reset the Password for My FlashRouters.com Customer Account?

To reset your password, you’ll want to click the “Account” icon in the upper right hand corner on our main website (Flashrouters.com). Once clicked, a menu will open where you can enter your login information, or select the “Forgot Password” button to trigger a reset email.
