Complex problem

[Roncol51]

Before leaving Spain I contacted the supplier of the Informir TV system asking them for information as to what I would need to have the same system in the UK. The response was 'it should work using a VPN' Our apartment blocks have just had a Hyperoptic high speed wifi/broad band cable installed which means that we could escape from Virgin Media to which we were previously locked in. So I had the Hyperoptic offering brought into our apartment and their 500MB router has been installed and the internet connected. The next step was to purchase a Nord VPN but then I found out that this would not work directly with the Hyperoptic router and that I needed to buy an ASUS RT-AC68U router. So now I have two routers which I understand are not compatible but there is something I can buy that will enable the link to happen so that I can download the VPN to the ASUS router and that I can then hook-up the TV Box I brought back from Spain. WHAT IS THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT I NEED TO PURCHASE. NON TECHNICAL ANSWERS PLEASE AS I HAVE ONLY JUST BINNED MY ABACUS.

Why do you need a VPN (actually just a proxy service)? Because you are trying to access content that is not to be accessed from the UK?

 

[Roncol51]

You are quite correct. The Informir TV offering is blocked in the UK, hence the VPN.
