Stuck and need some help?
Talk to a HumanThis guide will show you how to set up MediaStreamer on DD-WRT routers.
To use MediaStreamer smoothly, you must register your IP address on the ExpressVPN website so that ExpressVPN will recognize your IP address and grant your device access to MediaStreamer.
Note: MediaStreamer does not offer the privacy and security benefits of a VPN. You cannot change locations with MediaStreamer.
