Your old router trusts everything.

Most routers let any device with the password join, and every gadget can reach your laptop.

  • A couple on the sofa at night while an old router's red light glows over their laptop and camera, a car with a laptop outside Worst case

    What if the way in is the box on your shelf?

    Rio replaces it, and every new device waits for your OK.

  • A remote worker in shock at his laptop while a hooded figure with a phone stands outside in the rain Worst case

    Someone outside is on your Wi-Fi. Would you know?

    Every new Wi-Fi device waits for your approval in the Rio app.

  • A cheap smart plug glows red under a remote worker's desk Worst case

    A $15 smart plug, one hop from your laptop.

    Gadgets get their own SecureRoom, walled off from your computers.

The same couple laughing over coffee on a sunny morning, the old router gone and the street outside quiet

SecureRoom Technology

Your devices don’t talk to each other. On purpose.

Rio creates up to 16 isolated network zones. Your work laptop doesn’t see your kid’s tablet. Your smart camera can’t reach your banking. If a hacker compromises one device, they can’t jump to the rest.

  • ✓ Rooms for work, kids, gadgets and guests
  • ✓ Real-time alerts when a zone gets a hit
  • ✓ Automatic security updates
  • ✓ Manage everything from the app, no IT required
Built-in VPN

One VPN for the whole room. No apps to install.

VPN apps protect one device at a time. Rio VPN runs on the router, so every device in the rooms you choose is covered the moment it connects: laptops, phones, TVs, cameras, even smart plugs.

  • ✓ Turn it on room by room, nothing to set up on each device
  • ✓ Choose from servers in 110+ countries
  • ✓ Works alongside your existing VPN if you have one
  • ✓ 1 year of Rio VPN included with every router

10-Minute Setup

Three steps. That’s it.

No IT degree, no installer, no engineer visit. If you can plug in a router, you can install Rio.

01

Plug it in

Connect Rio behind your existing ISP modem. Same Ethernet cable, same spot.

02

Download the app

Open the Rio app on your phone. Pair the router. Approve the first device.

03

You’re protected

Every device is approved or blocked. Threats are monitored. Rio VPN covers the rooms you choose.

Why Rio, not a cheaper router?

A cheap router isn’t cheap when it’s the door into your house.

Questions, answered.

More questions? Email our team and a real person will reply.

Will Rio work with my internet provider?

Rio plugs in behind your provider’s modem, in place of your current router. The app walks you through it.

How long does setup take?

About 10 minutes. Scan the QR code on the back and the Rio app guides you step by step.

What happens after the free VPN year?

Rio VPN renews at $79.99 a year so your rooms stay private. Don’t want it? Cancel anytime before the year ends and you won’t be charged. Your router, rooms and device approval keep working without it.

How many devices and how much space does it cover?

150+ devices at once and up to 4,800 sq ft per unit, or up to 38,000 sq ft with mesh.

What if Rio isn’t right for me?

Rio has 30-day returns and a 1-year warranty. App updates are free.

Protect your home today.
