OPEN SOURCE FIRMWARE "FLASH" UPGRADE

Our “flashing” experts thoroughly test all new releases of firmware builds before they are approved for use with a Flash My Router Service Plan. We will flash your router with the most recent stable build/release.

Wireguard VPN Setup Support

Now that your router is upgraded with DD-WRT firmware you can connect to VPN via Wireguard, for state of the art encryption and faster speeds through your VPN service. FlashRouters currently support the following providers for Wireguard setup on your router - StrongVPN, IVPN, Mullvad, Windscribe, and VPN Unlimited. As soon as any additional VPN providers release DD-WRT Wireguard support, this list will be updated.

VPN KILL SWITCH OPTION

Once we install the FlashRouter Privacy App our team will show you how to use the Kill Switch feature to disable your entire network if you are not connected to VPN at any time.

VPN ROUTING BY DEVICE AND WIFI NETWORK

Once we install the FlashRouter Privacy App our team will show you how to use policy routing by device feature, where you can choose whether a device should be connected to VPN or bypass VPN with a dropdown menu selection. Our team will also show you how to use policy routing by WiFi network feature, where you can choose whether a WiFi network should be connected or bypass VPN. This feature allows you to have a VPN WiFi network and local ISP WiFi network broadcasting from your FlashRouter at the same time, allowing you to easily connect to your network of choice with any device.

What Makes the WireGuard Protocol Different?

Less Code

With 4,000 lines of code, compared to OpenVPN's 400,000, WireGuard is as lightweight as they come.

More Efficient Algorithms

Each WireGuard version uses one fixed set of algorithms, which leads to a smaller attack surface, and immunity to downgrade attacks.

Faster Speeds

WireGuard averages VPN connection speeds 4x faster than OpenVPN and IPsec.

Increased Security

WireGuard's state-of-the-art secure ciphers and algorithms, and Its small codebase make it easier to audit while offering a smaller attack surface for any potential threats.

WireGuard VPN Providers

There is no FlashRouters App to manage your Wireguard connection. While many VPNs have begun to offer WireGuard, ProtonVPN, StrongVPN, Mullvad, Windscribe, VPNUnlimited and IVPN are the recommended providers for WireGuard service at FlashRouters. FlashRouters will setup the Wireguard connection for you before shipment if you leave your account info during the checkout process.

FAQs

Is A Router Included With My Purchase?

No, Flash My Router is for customers who already have a compatible router or plan on buying one from a third party. Our technicians will remotely connect to your router to flash it with custom firmware.

What Is Flash My Router?

For users with existing routers, FlashRouters offers a personalized service called Flash My Router. Our router experts connect to your router remotely and upgrade your firmware via a process called flashing. This process endows your router with unique features that they can't access with OEM firmware.

This is perfect for users who want to upgrade their network setup without adding an additional device.

How Do I Schedule My Session?

Once you've purchased the FMR plan you will receive an automated email from FlashRouters including a link to book your appointment to flash the router.

Can I Flash My Mesh Router?

We can flash Asus Zen Wifi mesh routers. You can find them here.

Does the service plan renew?

All FR service plans automatically renew on a quarterly or annual basis based on the term initially purchased. A reminder e-mail will be sent one week prior to renewal. In your FlashRouter account panel, you can cancel the plan at any time to stop any further renewals.

Does the service plan 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.

Does FlashRouters offer phone support?

At this time, we do not provide phone support with our service plans. We have tested phone support for networking troubleshooting in the past but have found that on average caused us to help less customers in a less efficient manner.

However, with a purchase of a yearly Silver Plan or any Gold Service Plan, customers can schedule 1-on-1 remote support sessions via Teamviewer with our engineers and they will provide a hands-on, personal solution, to any problems you may be facing.

Do I need a Service Plan for a firmware upgrade?

Firmware upgrades are free of charge to any FlashRouter customer!

You can visit our support center and select your specific router model to upgrade your firmware based on the recommendations provided.

If you want the help of our Support Team to assist in this upgrade, you can always sign up for our yearly Silver plan or any Gold Service Plan and schedule a 1-on-1 Teamviewer session in which our trained engineers will take care of the upgrade for you!

LEARN MORE

Dual Router VPN Setup

Connect your FlashRouter through a modem and create a fully encrypted, VPN connected, wired and wireless network in your home for any streaming devices, gaming systems, SmartTVs, and more.

If you have an existing router, including any commonly used DSL router/modems or Verizon Fios supplied Actiontec routers (just to name a few), our team will help you add in a VPN connection option in your network without changing any settings on your primary router device.
The result is two wired and wireless networks available in your home or office at the same time - your primary network for unencrypted local ISP connections and a FlashRouter network for encrypted VPN connections. Pick and choose between any wired or wireless network on all of your Internet connected devices.
If you require a PPPoE login to connect to your Internet service provider, you may use your existing router to connect to your ISP via PPPoE and then connect the FlashRouter in a Dual Router Setup in order to create a VPN network in your home.

What's Not Included

Router not included with purchase, this plan is to upgrade a previously purchased router.
Additional Support and Service time is not included unless you subscribe to a FlashRouter Service Plan. FlashRouter Service Plans are available during checkout, or can be added at a later date.
By turning your router into a "FlashRouter" there are countless enterprise router features that you can now use for your benefit, however our support team is unable to offer direct assistance for all of these open source firmware setups.
The "Flash My Router" product comes with hands on support from the FlashRouters team for firmware “flashing”, Internet connection setup, wireless network setup, VPN Client connection support, VPN Customization, and Wireless Customization Support.
Support for features such as Personal VPN Server/Client, Port Forwarding, QoS, Access Restriction, DDNS, USB storage or 3G/4G failover setup, and any other feature not explicitly listed as supported are not covered when you purchase a Flash My Router Service Plan.
Our Support Team is happy to provide guidance, links, and tutorials for advanced features to the best of our ability however remote support for these features is not included.
One of the best benefits of using open source firmware is the active help forums and vast community of like-minded users, who can often help troubleshoot with advanced setups you have in mind.
