The Belgacom b-box 3 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.

All I can do for this page is give you my educated guess as to what you need to do. First you should be asked for the Name (SSID) This is the network name you use to identify your network. For more on this topic see our guide titled Wireless Names.

You may or may not be able to change the Channel on this page. If you can we recommend only three channels, 1, 6, or 11. Learn why in this WiFi Channels guide.

The next setting you need to configure is called different things. Most commonly it is called the Security Mode or Encryption. What ever it is called you should be able to open a drop down menu of sorts and choose the security you want to use. There will be options like None, WEP, and WPA. Find out what these abbreviations mean and which one you want in our guide titled WEP vs. WPA. For the strongest encryption available for your network we recommend using WPA2-PSK. This could also be called WPA2-Pre-Shared Key or WPA2-Personal.

When you pick your security you need to also create a strong Internet password. This setting might be called Passphrase or Pre-Shared Key. No matter what it is called it is referring to the Internet password. Create a strong password here of at least 14 to 20 characters. If you need help in this area or just want to learn more, read our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

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.
