Where are you stuck? Typically you'll get a user/pass, and they should have a set of instructions based on your OS/version.
I have it installed on my computers/tablets/phones, but I would really like to just put it on my router so that everything is filtered (mainly my firetv).Originally Posted by esmith

what make/model of router is it? Are you willing to purchase new network hardware if needed? Some routers support hardware VPN settings, but most consumer ones don't. (unless you're flashing the BIOS with something opensource, then typically VPN stuff has been added in.)
It's a Xfinity branded router/modem so I doubt I modify the VPN settings. I'm not opposed to purchasing new hardware, but would need a modem and router. I see that windscribe sells pre-configured routers, but can't see spending an extra $200 for plug & play.

Check out something like this then.

You're going to be dropping $150 on the hardware either way, that's just entry level price for decent network gear. If the entire product they sell is $200 total, that's probably $50 to have someone else set it up ahead of time for you. (if it's $350, then yeah, I'd do it myself. For $50 the peace of mind knowing it's working well would be hard to argue with.)
They are selling the Linksys 1200AC for $249 - it's around $70 retail.

HA! Then I think you're better off buying a decent piece of hardware, and doing the install yourself. Once you decide on which hardware you'd like to go with, there are likely step by step instructions on how to set them up. The hardware they're using in that youtube video is decent, and you would notice a marked improvement over the $70 1200AC. (IMO)
Windscribe has some tutorials for downloading their VPN on to routers, so I should be covered in that regard.
Any suggestions on Modem and Router? Staying under $350 would be great.

Anything in the $150 range should be fine. I've had excellent luck in the past with Buffalo's hardware.
I'd go that route if it were for myself.Option Four: Buy a Pre-Flashed Router
If you want the power of DD-WRT but you’re really uncomfortable doing the ROM flashing process yourself there are two alternatives. First, the Buffalo network and storage company has a line of routers that actually use DD-WRT right out of the box. Routers in the AirStation line now ship with DD-WRT as the “stock” firmware, including the AirStation AC 1750.
Short of flashing your own router, purchasing a Buffalo router that ships with DD-WRT is your safest bet and doesn’t void any warranties because it ships with the firmware already on.
For example, this one is under $100, had DD-WRT right out of the box.
