The BEC Technologies 7402GTMR4-SCED 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.

wifi wireless
This is the wifi setup page from your BEC Technologies 7402GTMR4-SCED router.

On this new page, the first thing you need to change is the ESSID. This is referring to your wireless name. This is the name you give your wireless network so you can distinguish it from others around you. Create a name that does not have a personal information in it. Check out our guide on the topic if you want more information, Wireless names.

Next is the ESSID Broadcast. If you choose Disable you are hidden from the wireless devices when they try scanning for available networks. Remember this does not mean you are completely invisible. A hacker has all the tools necessary to scan and find hidden networks. This is more like a camouflage, hidden but not invisible.

Skipping down to Channel ID, you may need to change this. This only needs to be changed if you are not on channel 1,6, or channel 11. In the United States there are 11 channels to choose from. Of these 11 channels there is only room in the spectrum for three channels that do not overlap each other, channels 1,6, and 11. For more information on why you should only be using these three channels, check out our guide titled WiFi channels.

Nothing else on this screen should be changed, click the Apply button at the bottom of the page. Then, click Wireless Security in the left sidebar.

router wifi security wireless
This is the wifi security page from your BEC Technologies 7402GTMR4-SCED router.

On this page in the drop down list pick the Security Mode you want to use. There are several different choices here. We strongly recommend using WPA2-PSK. This is the strongest security protocol available today. Check out our guide titled WEP vs. WPA for more information.

Beneath that is the WPA Shared Key. This is the password you use to access your network. We recommend using a strong password of at least 20 characters. The longer the stronger in this case. Avoid using any personal information here. Avoid using any words that can be found in a dictionary. We do suggest using symbols, numbers, and capital letters within the password. For help in creating a strong and memorable password, check out our guide titled How to choose a strong password.

That's all that needs to be changed on this page, click the Apply button when you are finished. That's it, you are done!

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.
