Aircove Go | Portable Wi-Fi 6 VPN Router | Protect Unlimited Devices | Free 30-Day ExpressVPN Trial | (U.S. & Canada Version)

I bought this to replace an older Android device that I was using for wifi-to-wifi sharing and I've been very pleased! I was already an ExpressVPN user, so this integrated with my account perfectly. It's USB-C powered and can be plugged into any sufficiently-powered USB-C socket (I *think* PD-20+ is the spec, but I can power it on most of my high-wattage hubs). The killer feature for some is per-device VPNs, which allows you to select which device goes to which endpoint. For personal devices, this is nice because you can offload the VPN computation out to the router and just use the internet like normal. For work devices it's a little less relevant since you're probably on a host-level VPN anyway. I've tested and it works great with streaming devices (Fire TV, etc) for those that need that.For me, the best feature is being able to set-and-forget the Wifi sharing directly over its web interface. Additionally, it has WAN and LAN ethernet ports, so if you find a spot with a hard line, you don't even need to do that. I've also found the transmission antennaes to be great (much further than if using a phone to Wifi share), which probably means the connectivity its making for its wifi uplink will be more solid as well.Overall, a great purchase and a good value.

Quick and easy to setup. Works well, highly recommend!

Instructions are worthless. Confusing for people not tech smart. 3 calls to tech support and working on it on & off for 10.5 hours later finally got some clear instructions from tech support. I gave it 1 star for easy to use. Wi fi speed test dropped my 5g router from 105.25 mbps to 74.35 and upload from 19.20 to 9.91 mbps. Fast enough for streaming but I don't how it will effect people who do gaming. One vpn for up to 8 devices. Update of this review.I returned this item as it loses internet connection frequently. Worked with support team and still disconnects.

First things first, if you want to be able to connect this ACG to a wifi connection, FIRST plug it in at home and set it up. It needs to update firmware to 4.7(1?). I had to go through a few hoops to get it connected in my hotel the first time because I didn't do this before I left.HOWEVER after the update had occurred this thing works flawless. Catches the captive portal request when connecting to a hotel wifi that needs a login. The user interface is simple but great. Connects at the router to the ExpressVPN network so all additional wifi connections are protected. Simply a great product that does exactly what you ask of it.Lastly, I had to call tech support to figure out the wifi thing and get me logged in. I had an issue where the application would just stick at "looking for your wifi network" even though it was successfully connected. If you get this, log out, wipe your browser cache, log in and try again. I also forgot the network connection.3 thumbs up. 10/10 would buy again and already told my business partner to buy one.

It took me awhile to figure out how to set it up. Once I did that it worked very well well. It’s great to be able to sign the Aircove into a network and then connect all family devices to the Aircove and have the VPN protection. I use a Washington, DC VPN location to get DC TV stations through YouTube TV when I am home in Virginia but YouTube TV said I was out of the country while I was in Sicily even when I was still using a Washington, DC VPN location. Netflix and Amazon Prime gave me US programming while I was in Sicily when I used the DC VPN location.The small size of the Alcove means that it takes up very little suitcase space. I look forward to using it whenever I travel. The ability to use the Aircove via a WiFi connection to a hotel network is a big plus as many if not most hotels just provide WiFi and don’t offer the option of using a cable to connect.

ExpressVPN is becoming useless. Half of the websites, apps, and devices are blocked or don’t work with the ExpressVPN servers through both the ExpressVPN app and ExpressVPN router. Especially streaming services. I can’t just open the app or router to disconnect the VPN every single time I need to use the internet. That defeats the whole purpose of using the VPN.

Purchased this product because I have used ExpressVPN for years. I get the Aircove so that I can travel and use this to both extend my WiFi range and VPN service all-in-one. I got to the hotel because I was traveling. Go to setup - NOPE!!! Must use a wired network to do the initial setup, then you can establish the ability to wireless link with other WiFi networks. In other words, this is useless until I finish my travels and eventually return home. This was NEVER stated in the information about the product on the Amazon site. If you purchase, ensure you have a wired network you can connect to in order to setup. You cannot do it otherwise.Update: ExpressVPN reached out and walked me through a manual means to setup the Aircove Go. Worked like a champ!! Brent spent 30 minutes making sure every aspect of the setup worked. I have been using it at several hotels and I love it. So easy to use and no more hassles in connecting my laptops or smart devices to the hotel - auto connects to Aircove Go, and I simply connect Aircove Go to the hotel. About one minute and all devices are connected. Perfect - exactly what I wanted. Not to mention secure VPN connections. Thank you!!
