The Arris SBR-AC1750 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

Have you considered using a VPN when you connect to the internet? A VPN is a great way to increase your security and anonymity while surfing.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes securely sharing your home network super simple. 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 birthday deal!

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.

Wireless Name

Wireless Password

An important part of securing your wireless network is choosing a strong password.

Wireless Channel

Picking a WiFi channel is not always a simple task. Be sure to read about WiFi channels before making the choice.

This is the wifi setup page from your Arris SBR-AC1750 router.

This brings you to the page you see here. First of all you need to be sure the Enable Wireless box has a checkmark in it.

Directly below that is the Channel. If you want to change that you need to open up the drop down menu and pick from the list of channels. We recommend using channels 1, 6 or 11. This avoids partial overlap which is very bad for wireless reception. Learn more in our WiFi Channels guide.

Next is the Wireless Network Name (SSID). This is the name you give your network connection so you can find it again later. It doesn't matter what you enter here but we suggest avoiding personal information and router specific information. Learn all about the wireless name in our How to Change your Wireless Name guide.

Don't worry about the next few options, skip down to the one labeled Security Mode. For the strongest security you need to use WPA2-PSK. Find out more in our WEP vs. WPA guide.

The last setting that needs to be changed is the Pre-Shared Key. This is the password for your Internet and should be strong and complex. To do this properly check out our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

Congratulations you setup your WiFi! Don't forget to click the Apply button to save your changes.

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.
