Your router is 20 years behind.
The router your cable company gave you is outdated, insecure, and full of known vulnerabilities. Cyber threats evolve daily, but your router's security hasn't changed in 20 years. That's why we built Rio - to bring the protection that Fortune 500 companies use into every home.

Real Homes, Real Risks
Why We Built Rio
We took the cybersecurity that protects Fortune 500 companies and made it work for your home.
No IT degree needed. No complicated setup. Just plug in and you're protected.
Rio is built by the people who've shipped networking hardware into millions of American homes — and saw firsthand what needed to change.

Our Founder
Meet John Hui
Founder & President, Rio Router
John has spent more than four decades building the networks that power our world — from enterprise data centers to the Wi-Fi inside millions of American homes.
- 40+ years in network hardware
- Former Chief Strategy Officer of Foxconn
- CEO and Founder of eMachines
- Former CEO of Packard Bell
After watching generation after generation of home routers ship without meaningful security, John founded Rio to close the gap — bringing the same protection he helped deploy across Fortune 500 networks into every home.
Rio is his answer.
