However, the router after the flash seemed buggy and the Wifi kept cutting in and out. This was really frustrating while watching shows on Apple TV. I decided to remove the flash and return the router to it's original firmware. They informed me they only help with the Flash and don't provide support to return you router to standard firmware. That's why I must give them a one star.

Works Well From Ireland Using NORD VPN I bought one of these from FlashRouters .... Privacy-hero-vpn-router (3 day FedEx delivery to Ireland). As I am not in USA/Canada, I had to download the PRIVACY HERO app/apk from APKCOMBO.COM. I use this router mostly with ethernet, so I like the fact that one can independently turn on/off the 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz WiFi networks. Setup was easier than anticipated. Support so far seems responsive/good - I recommend this company.

Updated Review Well I gave a crap review and 2 stars earlier, but I need to update. I was in hell trying to get Nordvpn on this freaking Asus AX2700 Dual Band RT-AX68U router for a solid week trying everything possible. I finally figured out how to contact FlashRouters chat tec support. Dude took control of my computer and had me up and running in 5 minutes. It was a miracle. If you are having problems go to the website and find chat support and ask for a rep. It will save you hours if not days of utter frustration. You're welcome!!

Quick response to support request Quick response. I had an issue signing on to the VPN on my router. I opened a ticket via the support webpage and Tom M. responded within hours. Tom provided step by step instructions and I was able to correct the issue. Being in Japan, the support website is my best means of communicating. Immediate feedback that a support request was received is reassuring.

Excellent support My Asus RT-AC5300 configuration became messed up. FlashRouters pointed me to their on-line help for how to do a factory reset, reinstall their software, configure the router, and connect my VPN. Now everything is working as it should. FlashRouters were very responsive and helpful. Would recommend.
