The BEC Technologies BEC 7800TN 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.

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.

This is the wifi setup page from your BEC Technologies BEC 7800TN router.

The first thing you need to change is the ESSID. This is the name you give your wireless network to you can distinguish it from the others around you. Be sure to create an original name that does not contain any personal information. For more information on this topic, check out our guide titled Wireless names.

Below that is the Hide ESSID. If you Enable this, you are hiding your network name from any scanning wireless devices in your network range. This does not mean you are invisible. A hacker can easily scan for hidden networks with the proper tools. You are only camouflaging your name.

Next is the Channel ID. You need to be using channel 1,6, or 11. In the United States there are only 11 channels you can choose from. Of these 11 channels, there is only room in the spectrum for three that don't partially overlap each other, 1,6, and 11. For more information on this subject, check out our guide titled WiFi channels.

That is all you need to do on this page, simply click the Apply button at the bottom of the page. Then, in the left sidebar click the option of Wireless Security.

On this new page, choose the type of Security Mode you want to use. There are several different choices in this drop down menu. Check out our guide titled WEP vs. WPA for the differences in the types. We recommend using WPA2.

Under that in the WPA Algorithms drop down list choose from either TKIP or AES. We recommend AES. AES is much newer and stronger than TKIP.

The last thing you need to change is the WPA Shared Key. This is the password that you use to access your network. Create a strong password of at least 20 characters. Avoid using personal information and dictionary words. We do recommend using symbols, numbers, and capital letters within the password. For help in creating a memorable and strong password, check out our guide titled Choosing a strong password.

That's all there is to it, simply click the Apply button and 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.
