The problem

Your ISP router is working against you.

The router your internet provider gave you is outdated, runs end-of-life firmware, and has zero built-in protection. Hundreds of new vulnerabilities are discovered in these routers every year. Your ISP knows. They charge you monthly anyway.

  • No device approval. Anyone with your password connects.
  • No VPN. Your browsing is visible to your ISP.
  • No segmentation. One compromised device exposes everything.
  • No alerts. You won’t know you’ve been breached.

Meet Rio

The router built like a security system.

Rio sits behind your ISP modem like any normal router. Then it acts like a bouncer at a VIP club. Only devices you’ve approved get on. Every connection is monitored. Every device gets its own isolated room.

360° Threat Protection

Blocks unauthorized access before it starts. Real-time threat alerts in the Rio app.

Built-in VPN, every device

Your whole network encrypted at the router. No apps to install on every device.

Wi-Fi 6, 4,800 sq ft

2.8 Gbps speeds. Expandable to 38,000 sq ft with RioMesh. Connect 150+ devices.

SecureRoom isolation

Every device gets its own segment. If one is compromised, everything else stays safe.

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.

  • Up to 16 SecureRooms (isolate work, kids, IoT, guest)
  • Real-time alerts when a zone gets a hit
  • Automatic security updates
  • Manage everything from the app, no IT required
Built-in VPN

Every device encrypted. No apps to install.

Most VPNs require an app on every device. Rio encrypts at the router, so everything connected to your network (laptops, phones, TVs, smart cameras, IoT) is automatically protected.

  • Whole-home encryption, no per-device setup
  • Switch between pre-selected server locations
  • Works alongside your existing VPN if you have one
  • 1 year of Rio VPN included with every router

5-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. VPN is on.

Why Rio, not a cheaper router?

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

After our neighbor’s Wi-Fi was hacked, I wanted serious protection for my family. Rio gives me total peace of mind. The app makes everything simple.

Finally got rid of those annoying VPN apps on all our devices. Rio’s built-in VPN lets us watch our favorite shows from back home in Europe. It just works.

I have over 45 smart home devices and was concerned about security. Rio’s separate secure zones keep everything protected but still easy to manage.
