Merlin-Koolshare Routers

We do NOT guarantee that our VPN will work with your specific router.

Each router is different. The same model may be flashed with a different version of the OS, and some routers may only support older OS versions which don't work with our App.

We only support Merlin-Koolshare NOT Vanilla Merlin

You'll need to flash your router with one of the firmwares in the links below:
