Connect FlashRouter to Internet

· ·

All FlashRouters are compatible with all ISP service types such as fiber, cable, DSL, and satellite. As long as you have a modem, modem/router, or router capable of an ethernet connection your FlashRouter will have no problems connecting to the internet.

Internet Service Providers (ISP) include a modem or modem/router combo to connect your network devices to the internet. In some instances your ISP will provide a separate router as well as the modem. You can replace this router with a FlashRouter or use both in a dual router setup.

Single router setup

If you would like to replace your outdated router or avoid paying to rent a router from your ISP then you should use a FlashRouter as the only WiFi device in your network.

In a single router setup the FlashRouter will be wired directly to your modem via ethernet cable and will be the only router in the setup.

Connect to your ISP modem

Wire an ethernet cable from an open ethernet port on your modem to the WAN/internet port of the FlashRouter.

FlashRouters Single Router Setup

On Asus FlashRouters the WAN/internet port will be blue.

Asus Wifi Setup - back panel

On Linksys FlashRouters the WAN/internet port will be yellow.

Linksys Wifi Setup - back panel

On Netgear FlashRouters the WAN/internet port will be yellow.

Netgear Wifi Setup - back panel

Power cycle modem and router

Once you have properly connected an ethernet cable from your modem into the FlashRouter internet port you must power cycle your network devices to establish an internet connection.

  1. Power off your ISP modem and the FlashRouter.
  2. Power on the ISP modem and wait for it to fully boot up.
  3. Power on the FlashRouter.

Dual router setup

If you would like to keep your existing WiFi network in place, and simply want to add in a VPN WiFi network with a FlashRouter then you can do so using a dual router setup. No settings in your existing network router need to change to add a FlashRouter in a dual router setup. Since we preset all FlashRouters to a unique Local IP Address, there won’t be a conflict with your existing router.

In a dual router setup the FlashRouter is wired to your existing router via ethernet cable and you will have two completely segmented WiFi networks available.

Connect to your existing router

Remember if your existing router is connecting to the internet without issue already, make sure to keep the ethernet cable between your modem and existing router internet port in place.

Now connect another ethernet cable from a LAN/numbered port on your existing router to the WAN/internet port of the FlashRouter.

Reference the images above to see your WAN/internet port color.

FlashRouters Dual Router Setup

Power cycle all network devices

Once you have properly connected an ethernet cable from your existing router into the FlashRouter internet port you must power cycle your network devices to establish an internet connection.

  1. Power off your ISP modem, existing router, and the FlashRouter.
  2. Power on the ISP modem and wait for it to fully boot up.
  3. Power on the existing router and wait for it to fully boot up.
  4. Power on the FlashRouter.

Verify a successful internet connection

Once the power cycling steps are complete and the FlashRouter is powered up, start connecting your internet capable devices via ethernet or WiFi. Visit any website and make sure the page fully loads.

My 5.0GHz network is not showing up

· ·

Verify the device supports 5GHz

5.0GHz networks are not compatible with all devices so first make sure that you device’s wireless adapter supports 5GHz wireless frequencies.

If you are not sure, find out if your device support 5 GHz via Google search or by looking in the wireless hardware details in the device’s network settings. If you see Wireless a/b/g/n support then you have a compatible device. If you are missing the Wireless a then this means there is no 5 GHz support.

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.

Lower the wireless channel

Some devices do support 5.0GHz connections but not the higher channels that DD-WRT firmware offers.

Navigate to Wireless > Basic Settings

Lower the wireless channel setting for the 5.0GHz band that is not showing. Based on our tests the most broadly compatible channels are 36, 48 and 161.

CLICK APPLY SETTINGS

Refresh your device's network adapter

The easiest way to accomplish this is by rebooting your device as the settings to reset your adapter may vary on all types of internet connected devices.

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.

Device Settings That Can Interfere With Your Router VPN

· ·

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.

Jump to a Section

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:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select Wi-Fi.
  3. Tap the information button next to the FlashRouter WiFi network.
  4. Find Limit IP Address Tracking.
  5. Turn it Off.
  6. Disconnect from WiFi and reconnect.
  7. 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:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap your Apple Account/name.
  3. Select iCloud.
  4. Select Private Relay.
  5. Temporarily turn Private Relay Off.
  6. Reconnect to the FlashRouter.
  7. 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:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select Network & internet.
  3. Select Private DNS.
  4. Temporarily select Off.
  5. Save the setting.
  6. Reconnect to the FlashRouter WiFi.
  7. 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.

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select Network & internet.
  3. Select VPN.
  4. Select the configured VPN.
  5. Disable Always-on VPN while testing.
  6. 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:

  1. Disconnect the affected device from WiFi.
  2. Reconnect it to the FlashRouter.
  3. Open a fresh private/incognito browser window.
  4. Check the device’s public IP address and location.
  5. 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.

  1. Open app.privacyhero.com.
  2. Open the Devices section.
  3. Select the affected device.
  4. Confirm VPN protection is enabled for that device.
  5. Disconnect any VPN application running directly on the device.
  6. 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.

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):

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.

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.

Customs and Expenses

Will there be extra customs charges when my FlashRouter arrives?

There may be additional customs fees incurred based on the local importation laws of your country. You (the recipient) are responsible for all customs fees charged by your country’s customs agency.

Customs charges are NOT factored into the FlashRouters shipping cost.

All customs fees will be a separate charge and must be paid for by the recipient of the package.

We do our best to inform you of possible customs fees to the best of our ability, however we will not accept returns because of refusal to pay these fees.

If we receive a return due to failure to pay customs fees, you will be refunded but ONLY for the price of the FlashRouter. Original Shipping charges will NOT be refunded.

We do our best to make FlashRouters’ shipping quick and affordable but are unable to foresee all customs-related issues. Please be sure to check before ordering if you are concerned with local customs fees.

Do you charge sales tax?

We will charge sales tax in any state where we are required to do so. Currently that is within New Jersey, due to the fact that this is the physical location of our business and New York but that is subject to change as law dictates.

Any taxes or customs fees that are incurred to your country’s current policies are out of our hands. We do our best to make the router and the shipping quick and affordable.
