The Alcatel-Lucent CellPipe 7130 RG router is considered a wireless router because it offers WiFi connectivity. WiFi, or simply wireless, allows you to connect various devices to your router, such as wireless printers, smart televisions, and WiFi enabled smartphones.

Use a VPN Instead

Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

NordVPN is the fastest VPN!

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

Unfortunately we don't have this screenshot in our database. If you own this router please help us out. Click this link to learn more.

From my experience there are two maybe three things you need to do on the next page.

  1. You may need to select the SSID you just created. There will be a drop down menu with the title of Select SSID or something similar.
  2. You will be asked to choose your Security Mode. This could also be called Encryption or Authentication. In the drop down list we recommend choosing the option of WPA2-Personal. It might be called WPA2-PSK. Find out why this is the best for your network in our guide titled WEP vs. WPA.
  3. The last thing you need to do on this page is change your Internet password. This can be called several different things, normally it is called the Passphrase or Pre-Shared Key. Whatever it is called it means the same thing. Enter the password you want to use to access your Internet. We recommend using a minimum of 14 to 20 characters. Don't forget to use symbols, numbers, and capital letters. Check out our Choosing a Strong Password guide to help you out.

When you are finished with that you need to save your changes before exiting the page. Congratulations you did it!

Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings

After making these changes to your router you will almost definitely have to reconnect any previously connected devices. This is usually done at the device itself and not at your computer.
