To watch Netflix (US content), Hulu Plus, etc. one needs a US IP address. One can configure a computer to use a VPN so one gets a US IP address using a VPN, but usage is limited to that device.
If one want to (simultaneous) use multiple devices needing a US IP address one needs the router itself to connect to a VPN. When this is done all devices connected to the (wireless) router will have a US IP address. That also means one can use something like a Roku box or a big screen TV with wireless a connection to watch Netflix, etc.
It appears that by using a router with DD-WRT one can connect it to a VPN service such as HideMyAss or StrongVPN. Then all devices connected to the router will have a US IP address.
Here's some "how to" information:

As more and more devices without VPN support makes it into our homes and offices so does the demand for alternate VPN solutions. An increasingly popular option is to connect to VPN from a router and thereby provide the benefits for all devices connected to the router. Hence the need for this VPN router review.
Devices such as the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Apple TV, Roku Box, Nintendo 3DS, HDT TVs, Blu-Ray players all lack the option of connecting to a VPN. This becomes a problem when you want to Netflix, Hulu and other US services outside of the US.
Below is a list of reviewed routers all compatible and recommended by the industry leader Hide My Ass VPN (Yes that is their name).

Buffalo Airstation WZR-HP-G300NH Review
This router is the little brother of the WZR-HP-AG300H. Not many things set the two apart but nevertheless the heavy user might find these to be a deal breaker.

Buffalo Airstation WHR-HP-G300N Review
The baby brother of the whole Airstation series – is it worth the admittedly low price point or are you better of skipping a family size pizza and pony up the money for one of the bigger brothers?

Buffalo Airstation WZR-HP-AG300H Review
Looking for the ultimate VPN router then look no further. With and impressive 128mb RAM to run the DD-WRT firmware, this is a monster router set to give you the best VPN throughput on the market.
About the Router
This router is currently the king of the Buffalo Airstation routers and deservingly so. As mentioned above the WZR-HP-AG300H comes with 128 mb of ram, and allows the firmware to process VPN tunneling (What is VPN) super efficient and hereby making sure that you are not loosing speed on your connection due to a bottleneck in the router. On top of that the router works as a dual band network with speeds up to 300Mbps and Creates 802.11n (2.4GHz / 5GHz), 802.11a, 802.11g and 802.11b networks.
Perfect for Unblocking Netflix and Other Services
Here at VPNfreedom we are of course focused on the VPN capabilities of the router. The reason being that this router is an obvious choice if you are looking to unblock Netflix from outside the US, or simply want access to the American version of Netflix that has a much larger selection than any other country.
Devices such as the Apple TV, Roku Box, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, Nintendo 3D, HD TVs, Blu-Ray players and other set-top boxes do not have a build in VPN client. By using a router like the WZR-HP-AG300H that is connected to Hide My Ass VPN (Yes that is their name) then you can access Netflix on these devices from outside the US.
Conclusion
5/5 Stars.With the easy AOSS on push button setup, powerful CPU and plenty of Ram, FTP server feature, USB Storage Port, Dual Network options and build in VPN client then this is a winner. On top of that the price point is realty aggressive. A must have in my book no matter if you are looking for a VPN router or just a regular router for every day use.
The router is just $89 from Amazon

Preconfigured DD-WRT Router for Strong VPN
Many of the guides we have written on this site have to do with single devices. Sometimes however, you want to route all traffic in the household trough VPN because you need VPN on devices that have no dedicated VPN client. This feature is restricted to very expensive industry grade routers – or is it?
Custom firmware on the router
Most routers today are running some sort variation of Linux in order to provide wireless access and route traffic, and this means you can flash your router with the open source router software DD-WRT. This however is no easy task and unless you have a deep understanding of the command line, Linux and data routing we strongly advice not to fool around with this on your own.
However, a company called Sabai Technology have specialized themselves in selling preconfigured routers capable of connecting to Strong VPN directly in the router. The company has excellent service and they ship the routers worldwide via Fedex. What is even more appealing is that the pricing on the routers is very reasonable indeed.
So together with a VPN account from Strong VPN (I suggest the $10 "Lite Open or PPTP" package) you will be able to route all traffic trough the VPN server all at once. This comes in handy if you have a devices such as a Playstation 3, Apple TV 2, Xbox 360 or any other device with no onboard VPN client.

So exactly what do you recommend? I'm trying to make sense of your post. Buy the router that's already configured directly from Sabait? Or buy the Buffalo Airstation WZR-HP-AG300H and send it in to Sabait? I went to Sabait's website and they don't sell the Buffalo Airstation. What is the best VPN provider and what package do you recommend? Mainly for phone use and a little video from time to time.
Thank you!
