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

TeamFlashRouters · Jun 11, 2019 ·

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?

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.
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.
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.
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.

Wireless Repeater Bridge

Use Cases

Wireless Repeater Bridge Setup

Anyone that needs all their devices connected to the same local network.
Anyone with a MiFi internet connection that does not have an ethernet port and has no need for VPN.
Anyone with a large wireless area that requires additional coverage.

Wireless Client Bridge

Use Cases

Wireless Client Bridge Setup

Anyone with a MiFi internet connection that needs wired access.
Anyone that needs additional wired ports instead of using a switch.
Anyone with wired only devices in their home that are too far from your main router.

Wireless Access Point DHCP Forwarder

Use Cases

Wireless Access Point DHCP Forwarder Setup

Anyone that needs their devices connected to the same local network and wants lossless LAN to LAN speeds via wireless and ethernet connection.
Anyone that wants to use their main router to provide DHCP to their router instead of having an additional DHCP server.

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.

Open VPN Fusion

Connect your computer or phone to your ASUS FlashRouter’s WiFi or LAN.
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.
Go to VPN > VPN Fusion. Add and configure at least one working VPN client profile before assigning devices.

VPN Fusion displays your saved VPN profiles and the Add Profile option.

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.

In VPN Fusion, open the VPN profile that should provide the default internet route.
Enable Apply to all devices (or Default Connection in firmware that uses that label).
Click Apply all settings, then enable the VPN profile.
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.

Method 2: Send Only Selected Devices Through a VPN

In VPN Fusion, turn off Apply to all devices for a profile when you do not want that VPN used network-wide.
Open the profile’s Device area using the pencil/edit icon or the firmware’s device-assignment control.
Select the intended devices (for example, a TV and streaming box), confirm with OK, then click Apply all settings.
Enable the VPN profile and verify the selected devices’ public IPs.
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.

Create separate profiles with clear names, such as Nord-US-WG, Proton-US-OVPN, and Surfshark-UK-OVPN.
Enable only the profiles you need and confirm each shows connected.
Assign each client device to the appropriate active profile; avoid applying conflicting default routes.
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

In VPN Fusion, confirm the target profile’s connection status is active.
Check the device’s assignment in the ASUS VPN Fusion interface.
On that same device, visit IPLeak.net or another public-IP checker.
Compare the reported public IP and location with the VPN server assigned to that device.
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

Turn off VPN Fusion routing for a test device and confirm ISP internet works.
Turn on just one known-working VPN profile for that device.
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.

Privacy Hero VPN Kill Switch Setup

TeamFlashRouters · Apr 3, 2023 ·

The Privacy Hero VPN Kill Switch prevents regular internet traffic from passing through your router if its VPN disconnects or fails to connect. This helps prevent devices from using your normal ISP connection without VPN protection.

Before enabling: Make sure your VPN is already Connected and that internet access works through the VPN. The Kill Switch is optional, but useful if you prefer internet access to stop rather than continue unprotected when the VPN goes down.

Privacy Hero is managed at app.privacyhero.com. You can make changes using a computer, phone, or tablet.

How to Enable the VPN Kill Switch

Open app.privacyhero.com and sign in using your Privacy Hero account. If the router has not been activated yet, follow the Privacy Hero Activation and Setup guide first.
Open the VPN section of your Privacy Hero settings.
Confirm that your selected VPN provider is active and its connection status shows Connected. If the VPN is failing, fix the connection before proceeding.
Find VPN Killswitch (VPN Kill Switch) and move its toggle to On (orange). The setting is enabled when its toggle is On.
Keep a device connected to the Privacy Hero WiFi or LAN and confirm that ordinary websites work with the VPN connected.

Privacy Hero Security and Privacy VPN Killswitch toggle enabled, highlighted on the right side of the settings page — In Privacy Hero, the VPN Killswitch toggle is shown directly below the VPN provider setting.

Tip: To check the router’s VPN IP address, use a browser on a device connected to Privacy Hero, not on a phone using cellular data or another WiFi network. Disable any separate VPN app on the test device so you can verify the router VPN independently.

What Happens When the Kill Switch Is On?

VPN status	Kill Switch	Normal internet traffic
Connected	On	Allowed through the VPN
Disconnected or Failed	On	Blocked until the VPN reconnects or you turn the Kill Switch off
Disconnected or Failed	Off	May use the normal ISP connection without VPN protection

The Kill Switch does not turn off the WiFi network. Your device may stay connected to Privacy Hero WiFi but report No Internet when the VPN is unavailable. Some phones and computers may automatically switch to cellular data or another saved WiFi network.

Access Privacy Hero Even When the Kill Switch Is Blocking Internet

Important: Privacy Hero includes a built-in exception for its cloud management dashboard. If the VPN is down and the Kill Switch blocks normal internet traffic, you can still access app.privacyhero.com while connected to the Privacy Hero WiFi or LAN network, provided the router itself still has its upstream/cloud connection.

This means you can sign in, check the VPN status, change the server or protocol, or switch off the Kill Switch without first leaving the Privacy Hero network.

You can also access the cloud dashboard through another working WiFi connection or cellular data. If the router shows Offline in the dashboard, that indicates a separate WAN or cloud-connectivity problem rather than normal Kill Switch behavior.

How to Turn Off the Kill Switch or Restore Internet

If your VPN has stopped connecting and you need to restore ordinary internet access temporarily:

Open app.privacyhero.com, including from the Privacy Hero network if the Kill Switch is blocking regular internet.
Open VPN and check the current VPN status.
Move VPN Killswitch to Off.
If the VPN remains Failed or Disconnected, temporarily switch the VPN connection Off and test internet access using a device on the Privacy Hero network.
Repair the VPN connection, confirm Connected, and verify that ordinary internet traffic works through the VPN before turning the Kill Switch back On.

Security note: With the Kill Switch off, devices may access the internet without VPN protection if the VPN is disconnected. Re-enable it after testing if preventing non-VPN traffic is your goal.

VPN showing Failed? Privacy Hero includes a Reset option that removes all saved third-party VPN settings. With an active Privacy Premium subscription, the router reconnects using the built-in Privacy Hero VPN. With Privacy Core, it returns to your normal ISP connection without a router VPN.

Before using Reset, see our How to Reset a Failed VPN Connection on Privacy Hero guide.

For a complete diagnosis of WiFi connected but no internet, VPN failures, and router Offline status, follow the Privacy Hero VPN Kill Switch: No Internet or WiFi Troubleshooting guide.

How to Reset a Failed VPN Connection on Privacy Hero

Dave · Oct 24, 2026 ·

If your Privacy Hero VPN connection shows Failed, you can use the new Reset button to clear the saved third-party VPN settings and return the router to its available default connection. This is useful when a VPN setup is stuck or you want to start again without manually removing the existing third-party VPN configuration.

Important: A VPN reset removes all saved third-party VPN settings from Privacy Hero. You will need to configure that provider again if you want to use it later. The connection Privacy Hero uses after resetting depends on your subscription plan.

When Should You Use the VPN Reset Button?

Use Reset when the current VPN connection is in a Failed state and you want to remove the third-party VPN setup and restore a working default connection. It is a more complete action than simply retrying the same VPN server.

Use it if the third-party VPN settings are no longer working and you want to start over.
Use it if you no longer want the saved third-party VPN configuration.
Do not use it if you need to preserve the existing VPN configuration. First try reconnecting or choosing a different VPN server or protocol.

The Reset action addresses the VPN configuration. It does not repair a disconnected WAN cable, an ISP outage, or a router that cannot reach the Privacy Hero cloud.

How to Reset a Failed VPN Connection

Open app.privacyhero.com in a browser and sign in to your Privacy Hero account.
Select your Privacy Hero router, then open its VPN settings.
Confirm the existing VPN connection is showing Failed.
Find the new Reset button in the failed VPN connection area. Before clicking, be aware that this action will remove all third-party VPN settings saved on the router.
Click Reset. If a confirmation message appears, review it before confirming. Allow the dashboard to apply the reset and update the VPN connection status.
Check the resulting connection using the subscription comparison below, then verify internet access from a device connected to Privacy Hero.

Dashboard access during a Kill Switch block: Privacy Hero permits access to app.privacyhero.com over its WiFi or LAN even when the VPN Kill Switch blocks ordinary internet traffic, as long as the router maintains its upstream/cloud connection. You can also manage the router from cellular data or another working internet connection.

What Happens After Reset? Privacy Premium vs. Privacy Core

VPN Reset: Side-by-Side Plan Comparison
Privacy Premium Active subscription	Privacy Core
Third-party VPN settingsRemoved	Third-party VPN settingsRemoved
Connection after resetBuilt-in Privacy Hero VPN	Connection after resetNormal ISP internet
VPN protection afterwardYes, when the built-in VPN is connected	VPN protection afterwardNo router VPN is active

Privacy Core users: After resetting, your normal internet access is not VPN-protected by Privacy Hero. If you want a third-party VPN again, you must configure it again in Privacy Hero.

Privacy Premium users: Check that the built-in Privacy Hero VPN shows Connected before assuming your traffic is going through the VPN. A working upstream internet connection and active Premium subscription are still required.

What Information Does the Reset Remove?

The VPN Reset button clears the third-party VPN configuration stored in Privacy Hero. This means any saved third-party provider details will need to be entered or imported again before that provider can be used.

Depending on the provider and protocol you had configured, this may include the saved VPN provider selection, server details, credentials or tokens, and custom OpenVPN or WireGuard settings. Have your provider login or configuration materials available if you plan to set up that VPN again.

This is a VPN configuration reset, not a request to cancel your third-party VPN subscription. It should not be confused with a full router factory reset.

How to Verify Internet and VPN Status After Reset

Refresh the Privacy Hero dashboard and reopen VPN.
If you have Privacy Premium, verify that the built-in Privacy Hero VPN is selected and shows Connected.
If you have Privacy Core, verify that the third-party VPN configuration is gone and ordinary internet access is available through your ISP connection.
Connect a computer or phone to the Privacy Hero WiFi or LAN. To test the router by itself, turn off any VPN application running directly on that device.
Load a regular website, then check your public IP address using ipleak.net. Premium should show a VPN IP if its built-in VPN is connected; Core will normally show your ISP public IP.

If you have Streaming Relocation enabled, some streaming services may use their separately selected location; that is not necessarily the same location shown by a general public IP check.

Reset Complete but Still No Internet?

Check the VPN Kill Switch. If it is still enabled while there is no working VPN connection, it may block ordinary internet traffic. Review the Kill Switch setting before assuming the router has lost WiFi.
Check the connection status. A router listed as Offline may have a WAN, ISP, or cloud-communication problem. The VPN reset cannot fix an upstream internet outage.
Check the network wiring. Confirm your main router or ISP gateway has internet access and the cable is connected to the Privacy Hero WAN/Internet port.
Check a device on Privacy Hero WiFi or LAN. Make sure you are testing the Privacy Hero network rather than another WiFi or cellular connection.
Check your subscription. An active Privacy Premium subscription is required for the built-in Privacy Hero VPN fallback described above. Privacy Core returns to ordinary ISP internet access.

My WiFi password is not working

Dave · Apr 29, 2019 ·

Keep in mind that passwords are case sensitive.

The preset DD-WRT FlashRouter WiFi password is Wireless#[First 5 characters of your router MAC]. The router MAC can be found on the bottom of your router. For e.g. if your MAC is 1459C07E70A8 then your WiFi password is Wireless#1459C

Verify wireless password

Connect an ethernet cable from a numbered port on the FlashRouter to a computer and access the FlashRouter’s settings.

Navigate to Wireless > Wireless Security

Check the Unmask box and note the wireless password that is entered.

Verify the wireless settings

Make sure that you have WPA2 Personal / AES set as the security settings for all bands. For some router models make sure the CCMP-128 (AES) box is checked for all bands.

Forget network on your device

Wireless devices usually offer a “forget” network feature to remove a wireless network from the saved information of the wireless adapter. If you have updated your WiFi password and are trying to connect on a device that previously used the old WiFi password then removing the wireless network and then trying to connect fresh can help with this issue.

Device Settings That Can Interfere With Your Router VPN

Dave · Oct 6, 2026 ·

If your router VPN is connected and working on other devices but one phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device shows the wrong IP address, wrong location, cannot access certain websites, or behaves differently, check the affected device before changing the router.

VPN applications, privacy features, custom DNS settings, antivirus software, firewalls, browser settings, and corporate security software can all change how traffic is handled directly on a device.

This guide applies to all FlashRouter types and VPN providers.

Start Here: Is the Problem the Router or One Device?

Before changing your router VPN configuration, compare the affected device with another device connected to the same FlashRouter.

If several devices show the correct VPN IP and location while only one device does not, the router VPN is already demonstrating that it can route traffic through the VPN.

Focus troubleshooting on the affected device.

If every device connected to the FlashRouter has the same VPN problem, continue with router-level VPN troubleshooting instead.

Privacy Hero users should also check the Privacy Hero dashboard. If the VPN itself displays Failed, Disconnected, Connecting, or a timeout error, troubleshoot that connection before changing device settings.

Disconnect VPN Applications Running on the Device

Do not run a VPN application directly on the device while troubleshooting a VPN running on your router.

This includes applications from NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, Proton VPN, IPVanish, Private Internet Access, Mullvad, corporate VPN providers, and other VPN services.

If both the router VPN and device VPN are active, the device VPN can take control of that device’s traffic after it passes through the router.

This can cause:

An unexpected public IP address.
An unexpected VPN location.
Websites or applications not loading.
Streaming region problems.
DNS problems.
Slow or unstable connections.
One device behaving differently from other devices on the same router.

Disconnect the VPN application completely before testing the router VPN.

Closing the VPN app window may not disconnect the VPN. Confirm in the application or device network settings that the device-level VPN is actually disconnected.

iPhone and iPad: Check Private Relay and Limit IP Address Tracking

Apple devices include privacy features that can change how supported internet traffic is handled and make router VPN testing more difficult.

Limit IP Address Tracking

To temporarily disable Limit IP Address Tracking for your FlashRouter WiFi network:

Open Settings.
Select Wi-Fi.
Tap the information button next to the FlashRouter WiFi network.
Find Limit IP Address Tracking.
Turn it Off.
Disconnect from WiFi and reconnect.
Test the connection again.

This setting is configured per WiFi network, so make sure you are changing it for the FlashRouter network being tested.

iCloud Private Relay

iCloud Private Relay can also alter IP address visibility for supported traffic.

For troubleshooting:

Open Settings.
Tap your Apple Account/name.
Select iCloud.
Select Private Relay.
Temporarily turn Private Relay Off.
Reconnect to the FlashRouter.
Test the IP address and connection again.

These settings can be restored after testing.

Android: Check Private DNS and Always-On VPN

Android devices can have DNS and VPN settings that operate independently of the router.

Private DNS

Android Private DNS can send DNS requests to a selected DNS provider instead of relying solely on the DNS configuration supplied by the router.

If you are troubleshooting DNS, website access, streaming, filtering, or location behavior:

Open Settings.
Select Network & internet.
Select Private DNS.
Temporarily select Off.
Save the setting.
Reconnect to the FlashRouter WiFi.
Test again.

Android menus vary by manufacturer and Android version. Search the device Settings for Private DNS if necessary.

Always-On VPN

An Android VPN application can be configured to automatically reconnect even after you believe the VPN has been disconnected.

Open Settings.
Select Network & internet.
Select VPN.
Select the configured VPN.
Disable Always-on VPN while testing.
Check whether Block connections without VPN is enabled and temporarily disable it if necessary for testing.

Then reconnect to the FlashRouter and test the router VPN again.

Check Antivirus, Firewall, Browser, and Work Security Settings

If the problem affects a computer or only occurs in one browser, check for software that modifies network traffic directly on the device.

Antivirus and Internet Security Software

Security applications may include network features such as:

Web Protection.
Safe Browsing or Secure Web.
Network Protection.
DNS Protection.
HTTPS scanning.
Tracking protection.
Built-in VPN services.
Firewall controls.

Temporarily disable the relevant network protection feature and test again. You do not normally need to disable the entire antivirus product.

Third-Party Firewalls

A third-party firewall can block applications, DNS requests, VPN-related traffic, or specific network interfaces.

Temporarily disable the firewall and test the connection. If the problem disappears, re-enable the firewall and review its network rules.

Browser VPN, Proxy, and Secure DNS

Browsers and browser extensions can also use their own:

VPN services.
Proxy connections.
Secure DNS or DNS-over-HTTPS.
Privacy or filtering extensions.
Location-changing extensions.

If the problem occurs only in one browser, test another browser without extensions or custom networking settings.

Work and Corporate Devices

Company-managed computers and mobile devices may use corporate VPN clients, DNS filtering, web filtering, endpoint security, device-management profiles, or zero-trust networking software.

These systems may intentionally override the local router’s network behavior.

If a personal device works correctly on the same FlashRouter while a company-managed device does not, the company security configuration may be responsible.

Run a Clean Router VPN Test

For the cleanest test, temporarily remove device-level networking variables and let the FlashRouter VPN handle the connection.

FlashRouter VPN: On
Device VPN: Off
iCloud Private Relay: Off while testing
Limit IP Address Tracking: Off while testing
Android Private DNS/custom DNS: Off while testing
Always-On VPN: Off while testing
Third-party network filtering: Off while testing

Then:

Disconnect the affected device from WiFi.
Reconnect it to the FlashRouter.
Open a fresh private/incognito browser window.
Check the device’s public IP address and location.
Compare the result with another device connected to the same FlashRouter.

If the second device shows the correct VPN IP but the affected device does not, continue troubleshooting settings or software on the affected device.

If all devices show the same incorrect IP address or all devices fail to use the VPN, continue with router-level VPN troubleshooting.

Privacy Hero VPN Connected but Device Still Shows the Wrong IP?

Privacy Hero provides device-level VPN controls. Make sure the affected device is actually assigned to use the VPN.

Open app.privacyhero.com.
Open the Devices section.
Select the affected device.
Confirm VPN protection is enabled for that device.
Disconnect any VPN application running directly on the device.
Test the public IP address again.

If other Privacy Hero devices show the correct VPN IP and only one device remains incorrect, continue with the device-level checks above.

Wireless Guest Network Setup – Bridged (Advanced)

TeamFlashRouters · Jun 12, 2019 ·

If you would like to prevent visitors from connecting to your main WiFi network then you can create a Bridged Guest Network that will prevent access to the main router. This setup also allows you to create different rules for different WiFi SSID’s in your home ranging from QoS controls, access restrictions, VPN network segmentation, and more.

Preparing for Wireless Guest Network Setup

If you have a Dual-band or Tri-Band router you can setup a WiFi Guest Network, creating a separate VLAN (virtual local area network) for your visitors, or in order to segment your VPN networks on any band you like. We recommend using the 2.4GHz network for your DD-WRT Guest Wireless Network so it is compatible with the most possible WiFi devices. Setting up a guest network for visitors in your home allows you to keep them off of your main WiFi network.

We recommend performing this setup while connected to the FlashRouter via ethernet cable. If your computer does not have an ethernet port and you must proceed via wireless connection to the FlashRouter pay attention to the wireless connection as you may need to rejoin the FlashRouter’s network after making changes.

NordVPN Setup for AsusWRT: Token, WireGuard & OpenVPN

TeamFlashRouters · Oct 15, 2025 ·

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.

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

ASUS VPN Fusion NordVPN VPN type with Region and Token fields — Keep: existing ASUS NordVPN region/token form (remove any private token before publishing).

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

Sign in to Nord Account and open NordVPN Server Recommendation.
Choose your preferred country and server; use the available filters if you need to narrow the list. Select a currently available server.
Choose Get setup configuration, select WireGuard from the protocol menu, and click Download config. Save the downloaded .conf file.
In your ASUS router settings open VPN > VPN Fusion > Add profile, then set VPN Type to WireGuard (not NordVPN).
Use the ASUS Import configuration / file-import control to select the NordVPN .conf file. Confirm the imported parameters and save the profile.
Choose the target devices or enable the default/all-devices route. Click Apply and Enable, then check the VPN status and your public IP.

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.

Open NordVPN Manual Service Credentials and copy the service username and service password after any required verification.
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.
On ASUS, go to VPN > VPN Fusion > Add profile and set VPN Type to OpenVPN.
Enter a connection name, Import .ovpn file, and paste the NordVPN manual service username and password in the corresponding fields.
Choose devices or Apply to all devices, then click Apply and Enable. Confirm VPN Fusion shows a successful connection.

ASUS VPN Fusion OpenVPN VPN type with OVPN import and username password fields — Keep: existing ASUS OpenVPN profile form. New screenshots should use a larger clean capture if available.

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.

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.
Open NordVPN Manual Service Credentials and copy the manual username and password.
In ASUS VPN Fusion > Add profile, choose OpenVPN.
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 and Assign Devices to VPN Profiles. For a dedicated WiFi network with VPN or ISP routing, see ASUS Guest Network VPN / No-VPN Setup.

Verify the IP of the actual device

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

If VPN Fusion will not connect

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

Why can’t I access router settings?

Dave · May 3, 2019 ·

Be sure to first try the preset details to access your FlashRouter’s settings.

First time setup

Are you connected to the FlashRouter's network?

In order to access the FlashRouter’s settings you need to be connected to the FlashRouter’s network via ethernet or WiFi.

It is possible that if you are connected to the FlashRouter’s network you device might have static IP settings from a previous connection preventing it from being read correctly. Check your device’s static IP settings before proceeding.

Is your FlashRouter wired correctly?

Your FlashRouter should be wired as detailed in our Connect FlashRouter to the Internet setup.

A common mistake is to connect from your modem or other router to a LAN/numbered port of the FlashRouter instead of the WAN/Internet port of the FlashRouter as it should be. Doing so results in no access to the FlashRouter’s settings.

Lost access

How to find you FlashRouter's Local IP Address?

It is possible that your Local IP Address was changed at some point. Your Local IP Address is the address that you can access the FlashRouter’s settings with. We recommend finding the Local IP Address of the FlashRouter.

Was your FlashRouter reset?

If your FlashRouter is showing a local IP Address of 192.168.1.1 and you are seeing ‘dd-wrt’ as an available network in your wireless networks, your FlashRouter was reset. Reconfigure your FlashRouter.

Keep in mind that seeing a Local IP Address of 192.168.1.1 can also mean your are wired incorrectly and the router has not been reset. Be sure to check your wireless networks for ‘dd-wrt’. If the FlashRouter’s wireless network name appears as it was set then your FlashRouter was not reset and you should see the above section.

Tried updating firmware

Why can't I access my FlashRouter after a firmware upgrade?

When performing a firmware upgrade there is a dropdown that has Don’t Reset or Reset to Default settings as options.

If you accidentally selected Reset to Default settings you will need to reconfigure your FlashRouter.

If you had Don’t Reset selected and are still unable to connect to the FlashRouter’s network after a firmware upgrade, first make sure you are connected to the FlashRouter’s network as WiFi can disconnect during an upgrade, and then Reboot the FlashRouter.

Surfshark Setup for Privacy Hero

TeamFlashRouters · Sep 23, 2025 ·

Privacy Hero supports Surfshark through WireGuard and OpenVPN using the Custom VPN provider option.

WireGuard is recommended for most users. It requires a Surfshark WireGuard key pair and a downloaded server configuration file. OpenVPN uses a downloaded .ovpn file and Surfshark’s separate Manual Setup credentials, not your usual Surfshark login email and password.

Privacy Hero is cloud-managed. You can change these settings from any computer, smartphone, or tablet with an internet connection; you do not need to be on the Privacy Hero WiFi to configure the VPN.

Surfshark WireGuard Setup (Recommended)

WireGuard uses a key pair for authentication. A separate Surfshark username and password is not needed for the WireGuard configuration.

Create or Select Your Surfshark WireGuard Key Pair

Sign in to your Surfshark account.
Open VPN → Manual Setup, choose the Router setup option, and select WireGuard.
If you already registered a key pair with Surfshark, select I have a key pair and follow the prompts to register your public key. Otherwise, select I don’t have a key pair.
If generating a new key pair, enter a name and choose Generate a new key pair. Save the generated keys securely when prompted.

Important: Your WireGuard private key is sensitive. Do not publish or send it in a support ticket. Surfshark notes that you may not be able to view the generated keys again after leaving that screen.

Download a Surfshark WireGuard Server File

After setting up the key pair, select Choose a location or open the Locations section.
Choose an available Surfshark server and download its WireGuard configuration file to your device.

Do not download the WireGuard configuration before setting up the key pair. Surfshark warns that a file downloaded too early can be missing the required key information. For more detail, see Surfshark’s manual WireGuard router instructions.

Upload WireGuard to Privacy Hero

Open app.privacyhero.com and log in to your Privacy Hero account.
Open the VPN section, click Change, and choose Custom as the VPN provider.
Select WireGuard and upload the Surfshark WireGuard configuration file you downloaded.
Click Save and allow Privacy Hero to establish the connection. Confirm the VPN status shows Connected.

Privacy Hero Custom WireGuard configuration and file upload panel

Surfshark OpenVPN Setup

OpenVPN is an alternative to WireGuard. It requires a Surfshark Manual Setup username and password and a downloaded OpenVPN configuration (.ovpn) file.

Get Your Surfshark OpenVPN Credentials

Sign in to your Surfshark account.
Open VPN → Manual Setup, choose Router, and select OpenVPN.
Open the Credentials tab. If credentials are not yet available, select Generate credentials.
Copy the Manual Setup username and password, or keep the tab open to enter them into Privacy Hero later.

Important: These are not your regular Surfshark website email and password. Keep the service credentials private.

Download a Surfshark OpenVPN Server File

In Surfshark’s OpenVPN Manual Setup area, open the Locations tab.
Select a country or server and download its UDP .ovpn configuration file. UDP is the recommended starting option; a TCP configuration may be worth trying later if needed.

Download a new .ovpn file whenever you want to switch to a different Surfshark server location. See Surfshark’s manual server selection instructions.

Upload OpenVPN to Privacy Hero

Open app.privacyhero.com, sign in, and select the VPN section.
Click Change, select Custom, and choose OpenVPN.
Upload the Surfshark UDP .ovpn file you downloaded.
Enter the Surfshark Manual Setup username and password into the Custom OpenVPN fields.
Click Save, then confirm the VPN status shows Connected.

Privacy Hero Custom OpenVPN screen with configuration file upload and username and password fields

Verify Your Surfshark Connection

Privacy Hero showing Connected confirms the router connection status. Test a device on the Privacy Hero network to confirm it is using Surfshark.

Connect your device to the Privacy Hero WiFi or LAN.
Disconnect the Surfshark app or any other VPN app running directly on the testing device.
Open a fresh private/incognito browser window.
Visit Surfshark’s IP address checker.
Confirm the displayed public IP and approximate location correspond to your selected Surfshark server.

You can change Privacy Hero settings while using another WiFi network or cellular data, but the device performing this VPN IP test must be connected to Privacy Hero. Avoid running a separate VPN app on the same testing device, as that creates a double-VPN connection.

Streaming Relocation and Your VPN Location

When Streaming Relocation is enabled for a supported streaming service, that service may use its Streaming Relocation region instead of the Surfshark VPN server region. See Privacy Hero Streaming Relocation.

Surfshark Not Connecting?

If Privacy Hero displays Failed, remains on Connecting, or reports a timeout, try these steps:

Confirm your Surfshark subscription is active and that Custom is selected as the VPN provider in Privacy Hero.
If using WireGuard, confirm that the key pair was created or registered before downloading the server file. If necessary, generate a new key pair, download a fresh configuration, and upload it again.
If using OpenVPN, double-check your separate Surfshark Manual Setup username and password, not your regular website login.
Download a fresh server configuration for another available Surfshark location and try again.
If OpenVPN UDP continues to fail, try a Surfshark TCP .ovpn configuration file to check for a protocol-specific issue.
Temporarily disable the VPN Kill Switch while checking whether internet access works without the VPN, then restore your preferred Kill Switch setting.

No Internet After Surfshark Disconnects?

The VPN Kill Switch may intentionally block normal internet traffic when the VPN connection is unavailable. See Privacy Hero VPN Kill Switch: No Internet or WiFi Troubleshooting.

VPN Connected but One Device Shows the Wrong IP?

If other Privacy Hero devices display the expected Surfshark VPN IP, review the affected device for VPN apps, iCloud Private Relay, Private DNS, proxy settings, antivirus filtering, or other security software. See Device Settings That Can Interfere With Your Router VPN.

My 2.4GHz network is not showing up

TeamFlashRouters · May 2, 2019 ·

If you ever have an issue with WiFi, you can always wire directly into the FlashRouter to verify and/or update your current WiFi settings.

Enter the recommended wireless settings

Our team has tested the wireless functionality for each FlashRouter that we offer and shared our recommended wireless settings in our Wifi Setup area. Replicate the settings for your FlashRouter model found on that page if the 2.4GHz is not showing.

Change the wireless channel

Navigate to Wireless > Basic Settings

Change the wireless channel setting for the 2.4GHz band that is not appearing. The most broadly compatible channels are 6 and 11.

CLICK APPLY SETTINGS

Refresh your device's network adapter

In rare instances the wireless adapter for your device may stop picking up WiFi networks and must be reset. This will be different for each device, that is why the best way to refresh your wireless adapter is to simply reboot any device in question and see if the adapter now picks up your WiFi networks.

Review wireless Status

Navigate to Status > Wireless

The readouts on this page can help tell if there are errors with the FlashRouter’s wireless. View our article on how to read the Wireless Status page for more information.
