Description
Sabai Passport: Install Sabai OS on Your Compatible Router
Already own a compatible router? Sabai Passport allows you to install Sabai OS yourself using your existing hardware.
This digital product includes one Sabai OS license, the appropriate Sabai OS firmware for your eligible router, and instructions for flashing the router at home. It is intended for customers who are comfortable performing their own firmware installation and understand the risks associated with flashing third-party router firmware.
Important: Please Read Before Purchasing
- Sabai Passport is a DIY firmware installation product.
- Your exact router model and hardware version must be compatible with Sabai OS.
- Flashing third-party firmware always carries a risk of rendering your router non-functional, commonly referred to as "bricking" the router.
- Sabai Technology does not provide remote support for the firmware flashing process.
- Sabai Passport is non-refundable once the software and license have been issued.
- Your Sabai OS license is permanently associated with the MAC address of the router on which it is activated and cannot be transferred to another router.
By purchasing Sabai Passport, you acknowledge that you have read the compatibility requirements, installation risks, and policies on this page.
Why Sabai OS?
Sabai OS provides a straightforward way to manage supported VPN connections at the router level. Instead of configuring a VPN separately on each compatible device, a Sabai OS router can establish the VPN connection for devices connected through your network.
Sabai OS also provides access to advanced networking features through an easy-to-use web interface, without requiring the command-line configuration commonly associated with many third-party router firmware options.
Router Compatibility
Do not purchase Sabai Passport unless your exact router model and hardware version is listed below.
Sabai Passport is currently available for the following router models:
- Linksys E2500 (v3 only)
- Netgear WNR3500L (v2 only)
- Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 (not R7000P)
- Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 R8000 (not X6S and not R8000P)
Model names that appear similar are not necessarily compatible. Please verify both the model number and hardware version of your router before ordering.
Sabai Technology cannot guarantee compatibility with routers purchased from third parties, even when the model number appears to match. Hardware revisions, regional variations, previously installed firmware, and other differences may affect compatibility.
DIY Installation & Flashing Risk
Installing Sabai OS requires replacing your router's existing firmware. Firmware flashing carries an inherent risk, particularly if an incorrect firmware image is used, the installation is interrupted, or the router hardware differs from the supported configuration.
An unsuccessful firmware flash can render the router unusable or "brick" the device.
Sabai Technology does not provide a warranty or guarantee against damage to customer-owned hardware resulting from the firmware flashing process.
If you are not comfortable performing a firmware installation yourself or accepting this risk, we recommend purchasing a router with Sabai OS already installed directly from Sabai Technology.
What's Included?
- 1x Sabai OS license for one compatible router
- Sabai OS firmware for your eligible router
- DIY installation instructions
- Sabai OS activation for the registered router after successful installation
Digital Delivery
Sabai Passport is a digital product and is not an instant download.
After your order has been reviewed and processed, you will receive the applicable Sabai OS download information and installation instructions by email.
After successfully flashing your router, you must contact Sabai Technology to request your Sabai OS activation token. Activation is not automatic.
Technical Support
Remote technical support is not provided for the actual firmware flashing process. You are responsible for following the supplied instructions and completing the initial Sabai OS installation on your router.
Once Sabai OS has been successfully installed, assistance with eligible router configuration, VPN setup, and other supported issues is available through Sabai Freedom Technical Support.
International Use
Sabai OS is not guaranteed to function in every country or network environment. It is not recommended for use in China and may not activate or function reliably there.
Other countries, networks, or regions may also restrict VPN traffic, access to activation services, VPN protocols, or other functionality required by Sabai OS. Sabai Technology cannot guarantee operation in locations where internet or VPN services are restricted.
VPN Performance & Third-Party Services
Sabai Technology does not guarantee specific internet or VPN speeds. VPN performance can vary based on router hardware, internet connection, VPN provider, VPN protocol, VPN server performance, geographic location, network conditions, and other factors outside of Sabai Technology's control.
Some streaming services, websites, applications, and other online services attempt to detect or block VPN traffic. Compatibility with any specific third-party service or geographically restricted content cannot be guaranteed.
License, Refund & Transfer Policy
Sabai Passport is non-refundable once the software and license have been issued.
Each Sabai Passport purchase provides a Sabai OS license for one compatible router. The license is permanently associated with the MAC address of the router on which Sabai OS is activated.
Sabai OS licenses purchased through Sabai Passport are not transferable between routers. Transfers, exchanges, or refunds cannot be issued if you replace the router, purchase an incompatible router, provide an incorrect model, or are unable to successfully complete the firmware installation.
By purchasing Sabai Passport, you acknowledge the risks associated with installing third-party firmware on customer-owned hardware and accept responsibility for verifying your router's compatibility before beginning the installation.

Saved me. Again.
After 9 years overseas, Sabai is still saving the day for us. I've purchased several products and upgrades and have never regretted any of them. They're always there to guide me something goes wrong. Highly recommended!
