Upgrade for Aircove by ExpressVPN enhances speed performance and user interface design.
ExpressVPN, a renowned VPN provider, has launched a significant update for its Aircove Wi-Fi routers. The update brings speed improvements, a more intuitive user interface, and a superior dashboard experience, further cementing ExpressVPN's reputation as the leading router VPN.
One of the benefits of installing a VPN on a Wi-Fi router is the ability to safeguard multiple devices within a household. This setup also permits smart devices lacking native VPN apps to connect to a secure VPN network.
AircoveOS 5.3.0 is now available for download. For ExpressVPN users with auto-updates activated, the update process will occur automatically. Those without auto-updates need to install the update manually.
ExpressVPN, the market's best router VPN, offers a user-friendly experience with minimal setup complexity. The service boasts lightning-fast speeds thanks to its Lightway Turbo and has implemented post-quantum encryption across the board. To access these benefits, one requires an active ExpressVPN subscription, and the two-year plan costs $4.99 per month, totaling $139.72 upfront, inclusive of four months free. This deal promises 28 months of protection, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
The updated dashboard allows users to set a VPN location when creating a device group. By adjusting advanced protection settings, users can choose their server location and connect to it, with devices then added to the group. The horizontal scrolling previously required on the dashboard has been eliminated, and its layout has been optimized to display all five device groups at a glance on most screens. Drag-and-drop functionality has improved, and moving devices between groups has become simpler. An additional dropdown menu has been introduced, making it easier to switch a device's group, particularly useful for smartphones and tablets.
Smoother connection transitions and animations have been added, along with helpful tips. First-time users will find guidance on router installation, connecting to Wi-Fi, and device organization useful.
ExpressVPN has focused on stability and reliability within the system-level updates. The primary goal was to improve Wi-Fi and streaming performances. Key system components, including the Linux kernel and Wi-Fi drivers, have been updated to reduce dropped connections and enhance overall reliability. Non-VPN traffic is expected to run faster and more efficiently due to these changes. Moreover, internal hardware management has been improved, resolving a rare issue with long-running VPN connections.
ExpressVPN is currently working on the next Aircove update, which includes enhancements to Wi-Fi Link and parental controls.
