The first two routers to feature this integration are the tri-mode connectivity ASUS RT-AX57 Go and the GT-AX11000 Pro, a model specifically tailored for gamers. The setup process for the integrated NordVPN service is straightforward – simply navigate to the router’s self-service page. “Our objective is to promote a more secure internet,” stated Vykintas Maknickas, Head of Product Strategy at NordVPN. “By facilitating easy VPN service setup on routers, we can safeguard entire networks for our users.”

    ASUS shares similar enthusiasm about the partnership. Tenlong Deng, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Networking and Wireless Devices Business Unit at ASUS, expressed his excitement: “We’re excited to collaborate with NordVPN and integrate their service into our devices.
