Search the routing listThe devices an app misses
Your whole home joins one simple network.
A router is most useful for screens, consoles and shared devices that cannot install a normal VPN app. Phones and computers can use it too, with nothing extra to manage.
Smart TVs and projectors
Give living-room screens the same automatic routing as every other device.
PlayStation and Xbox
Reach international stores and online services through the router connection.
Nintendo Switch
Connect a console that cannot run Hiddify or another desktop VPN app.
Phones and tablets
Join the home WiFi and use the right route without opening an app each time.
Laptops and home offices
Keep local Chinese tools fast while international work services stay reachable.
Home setup
Keep your current internet. Add one router.
Your internet provider keeps working exactly as before. The Throughwire router creates a second WiFi network for the devices that need automatic local and international routing.
- Step 1
Get a supported router
We recommend the GL.iNet Flint 2. It is fast, well supported and does not need reflashing.
- Step 2
Connect one cable
Connect a LAN port on your existing internet router to the WAN port on the Throughwire router, then turn it on.
- Step 3
Run one command
Open your Throughwire account on a laptop, paste the setup command and follow the prompts. Then join the new WiFi.
Included on every plan
Start with Personal 100 GB.
Router access is not limited to business plans. Every active paid plan can connect a home router. China-direct traffic does not use your Throughwire allowance, so your data is reserved for international services.
Home router questions.
Do I need to switch Throughwire on and off?
No. Leave the router connected. It sends Chinese services through your normal local internet and international services through Throughwire automatically.
Does local Chinese traffic use my monthly data?
No. Traffic that stays on the China-direct route never reaches Throughwire and does not count toward your plan. Only traffic carried through Throughwire is measured.
Which plans include router access?
Every active paid plan includes home router access, starting with the Personal 100 GB plan. Choose the monthly data amount that fits your household.
Do I need to replace my existing internet router?
Usually not. Keep the router supplied by your internet provider and connect one of its LAN ports to the WAN port of the Throughwire router. Devices then join the Throughwire WiFi.
Will it improve online gaming latency?
It can make international game services reachable, but it is not a dedicated game accelerator. Competitive games may still benefit from a specialized accelerator selected for that game and region.
One setup for the screens, consoles, phones and computers your household already uses.
