MediaStreamer is a DNS service designed to improve your streaming experience. If your device doesn’t natively support VPN, MediaStreamer is a great alternative for streaming.

To use MediaStreamer smoothly, you must register your IP address on the ExpressVPN website. This allows ExpressVPN to recognize your IP address and grant your device access to MediaStreamer.

Note: MediaStreamer is not a VPN and does not offer the privacy and security benefits of a VPN. You cannot change locations with MediaStreamer.

The following steps were tested on Linksys WRT 3200 ACM.

1. Register your IP address on the ExpressVPN website

Go to the ExpressVPN DNS settings page. If prompted, enter your ExpressVPN credentials and click Sign In.

Enter the verification code that is sent to your email.

Under IP address registration, click Register my IP address. If it already reads “registered” next to your IP address, there is no need to select this option again.

Toggle Automatically register my IP address on. This is recommended as it automatically tracks changes to your IP address.

If you have enabled Automatically register your IP address, you can keep your IP address updated by using the ExpressVPN app on your device or signing in to your ExpressVPN account occasionally.

2. Get your MediaStreamer IP address

Go to the ExpressVPN setup page. If prompted, enter your ExpressVPN credentials and click Sign In.

Enter the verification code that is sent to your email.

On the right, you will find the MediaStreamer DNS server IP address.

Keep this browser window open. You will need this information for the setup later.

3. Change the DNS settings on your Linksys router

To access your router admin panel, go to 192.168.1.1 in your web browser. Sign in with your username and password (by default, both are admin).

If your router’s IP address was changed in the past and you cannot remember it, you can find it in your device’s settings.

In the left sidebar, click Connectivity.

In the top navigation bar, click Local Network.

For Static DNS 1 and Static DNS 2, enter the MediaStreamer IP addresses found earlier. Click Apply.
