The Baudtec TW263R4-A2 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 faster than ever 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

Your wireless network needs to have a name to uniquely identify it from other wireless networks. If you are not sure what this means we have a guide explaining what a wireless name is that you can read for more information.

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.

Encryption

You should almost definitely pick WPA2 for your networks encryption. If you are unsure, be sure to read our WEP vs WPA guide first.

Login To The Baudtec TW263R4-A2

To get started configuring the Baudtec TW263R4-A2 WiFi settings you need to login to your router. If you are already logged in you can skip this step.

Change the WiFi Settings on the Baudtec TW263R4-A2

wifi wireless
This is the wifi setup page from your Baudtec TW263R4-A2 router.

The first thing you should change on this page is the Channel. In the first drop down menu, choose the country in which you reside. Then to the right of that is a smaller drop down list. Choose channel 1,6, or channel 11. In the United States you are only able to use 11 channels. Of those 11 channels, there is only room in the spectrum for three that don't overlap each other. Everyone should use one of these three channels. Overlapping channels cause a lot of interference. If you completely share a channel there is not nearly as much interference due to channel sharing software within the router. For more information on this topic, check out my guide titled WiFi channels.

Skip down to the next section. In the drop down list, choose 1 next to SSID Index.

Below that is the SSID. This is the network name or the name you title your network so you can identify it from the others around you. Choose a name here that you like but point to you. Avoid using any personal information in this name. For more explanation on this topic, check out my guide titled Wireless names.

Do you wish to Broadcast SSID? This means do you want to hide your network name from any nearby wireless devices. If you choose No you are hidden from any wireless device scanning for networks. You are not invisible to a hacker scanning for networks. They have programs that scan for all networks hidden or not. Hiding your network name only acts as camouflage. You are less of a target but by no means are you actually invisible.

Next is the Authentication Type. There are several different choices here. Our guide titled WEP vs. WPA explains the differences. We strongly recommend using WPA2-PSK. This is by far the best choice available today.

The screenshot you see here has a WEP section. This is because WEP has been chosen as the authentication type. Since you have chosen to use WPA2-PSK, the next section should read WPA2.

We are unable to see exactly what questions appear in the next section but the first should be something like Encryption Type or Encryption Method. The router needs to know what type of encryption you want to use with your WPA2. There are two main choices here, TKIP and AES. Our recommendation is AES. TKIP has some flaws that make it less secure. AES is considered uncrackable at the moment.

The other spot in this section should be Pre-Shared Key or Passphrase. This is simply referring to the password you are to use to access your network. This should be a strong password of at least 20 characters. Avoid using any personal information in this password. You should also avoid using any word that can be found in a dictionary. We do suggest using symbols, numbers, and capital letters. Creating a memorable password that looks random can be a lot of fun. Check out our guide on the topic if you need further help, How to choose a strong password.

Nothing else should be changed on this page. Go ahead and click the SAVE button at the bottom of the page when you are finished.

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.
