The ExpressVPN Aircove (U.S. & Canada Version) utilizes a MediaTek MT7621AT dual-core processor and 512MB of RAM to deliver a Wi-Fi 6 AX1800 environment. Technical specifications indicate throughput speeds between 180-250 Mbps when utilizing the native Lightway VPN protocol, which benefits from hardware-specific optimizations in the Aircove OS. Performance metrics confirm the device manages unlimited simultaneous connections via a single VPN account, bypassing per-device login restrictions at the network level.
System functionality includes:
- Network Management: Device Grouping for selective VPN tunnel assignment.
- Security: Integrated kill switch and recurring security-focused firmware updates.
- Interface: Web-based dashboard for tunnel location selection.
Aggregated data confirms that the hardware is locked to the ExpressVPN ecosystem. Standardized testing indicates the Wi-Fi range is optimized for mid-range residential footprints and may require mesh extension in environments exceeding 3,000 square feet. The unit operates on 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and does not support the 6GHz spectrum or Wi-Fi 7 protocols.
To extend the secure perimeter in larger homes, it is recommended to add display-mounts or other hardware in conjunction with access points configured behind this unit. This product is categorized in the vpn-routers database as a dedicated security appliance.
