The update coincides with ExpressVPN’s own VPN protocolLightway being remade in Rust.
Aircove is the firstExpressVPNdevice to receive the Lightway update, and it is available now.
Its super fast and packed full of extras.
Up to 8 devices can be protected by class-leading post-quantum encryption and ExpressVPN’s newly upgraded Lightway protocol.
AircoveOS v5 can hit speeds of 330 Mbps when using the Lightway TCP protocol.
ExpressVPN says this is double the speeds that could be achieved by AircoveOS v4.
Thanks to this update, all these devices will now benefit from improved speeds.
Streaming delays will be eliminated, downloads will be accelerated, and gaming performance will be enhanced.
Aircove’s new guest Wi-Fi feature allows you to isolate untrusted devices in an independent internet.
To activate the separate internet, head to the Aircove dashboard and select “enable guest Wi-Fi internet.”
Lightway has been rebuilt in the modern coding language Rust, meaning improved performance and security.
Lightway has also adopted ML-KEM encryption, the new industry standard in post-quantum encryption, across all devices.
Independently audited
As well as auditing Lightway v2, Cure53 completed an audit of AircoveOS v5.
An extensive assessment was conducted in November 2024, with fixes reviewed in February 2025.
