FlashRouters FAQ - ISP Router

FlashRouters is quite proud to offer our Dual Router Setup. Doing so basically enables our users to enjoy the security and freedom of a VPN along with the benefits of a local connection.

It goes like this: use your FlashRouter as a dedicated VPN router, because it’s powerful enough to handle the extra bandwidth that VPNs require. Use a second (presumably, less powerful) router for local network business. That way you can switch from VPN to local with the simple click of a button.

Can You Use an ISP-Provided Router for the Dual Network Setup?

As most ISPs require subscribers to use a modem-router combo, the Dual Router Setup is the only option for many users. One benefit of this setup is that the router is easily upgradable. If you are stuck with a modem-router, you will have to wait until the ISP upgrades the device. Furthermore, a Dual Router Setup opens the door to more possibilities.

Typically, people rely on their old router for their secondary local network (it’s a good way to get some use out of an old machine that you’ve replaced with a FlashRouter). But we’ve received a few questions from users worried that the router that their ISP provided (or rather, insisted you use with their modem) will not allow for a Dual Router Setup with a FlashRouter.

Well, allow us to put your minds at ease. No matter your provider – Xfinity, Charter, Bell – no matter the modem router they provide you with, you’ll still be able to make use of our Dual Router Setup. The important part of the equation is the FlashRouter.

Internet Service Providers By Country

FlashRouters work with all ISP routers. Here is a list of some of the most popular ISPs by country. Citizens, expats, military personnel and travelers in each of these nations have used FlashRouters in conjunction wiht their standard INternet service to protect their privacy and personal data.

If your country or provider is not listed and you want confirmation it will work with our service,  just ask us and we’re more than happy to assist.

Dual Network Setup Works Around the World

And that goes for our friends around the globe as well. Whether you’re in Australia using an Internode or iiNet router, in Canada using Rogers, Shaw, or Bell Aliant service or using Sky Broadband or Virgin Media in the UK, the Dual Network Setup is available to you. Same story. Use your ISP-assigned router for local business and your FlashRouter for VPN use.

In the meantime, it’s worth mentioning that in order to take advantage of our Dual Router Setup, you will need to be subscribed to a VPN on our supported provider list.
