The first part of our Vilfo Router review deals with how to set up and use your Vilfo router. You can attach it to your cable modem in order to utilize it as your primary router.
Alternatively, you can do what we’ve decided to do, which is to operate a dual router setup.
This is a useful and convenient way to do things if you have an existing open and non-VPN router that you’ve been using and only need the Vilfo VPN router as an extra for your network.
The reason we personally chose to utilize both routers is because this offered us a better wireless connection. Our initial router gets a stronger signal so we chose to continue using it as a primary cable modem.
Alternatively, we could have just utilized our primary router as the Vilfo’s access point which would defeat the purpose of what we’re trying to achieve with this tutorial. However, this approach may have also been beneficial in allowing us to use the Vilfo VPN router. This is a means to route all Ethernet traffic.
Nevertheless, the first thing we did after attaching the WiFi antennas to the Vilfo router was to switch it on. Afterward, we attached the Ethernet cord into a LAN port of the existing router that we had before.
It’s worth noting in this Vilfo Router review that this router comes with a useful and informative Quick Start Guide. This makes the setup process that much easier.
Simply start by connecting the Vilfo to your computer’s WiFi connection. Then, launch your computer’s Chrome browser in order to input the web address admin.vilfo.com.
