The Belgacom CIA6726N BG 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.

On this page, you should first change the SSID. This is the name you give your network so you can distinguish it from the others around you. You should create an original name but avoid using personal information. For more information on this topic check out our guide titled Wireless names.

Next is the Broadcast SSID. If you choose to DISABLE this, you are essentially hidden from surrounding wireless devices. This does not mean you are invisible. Hackers can easily scan for hidden and non hidden networks.

Below that is the Channel. This only needs to be changed if you are not already on channel 1,6, or 11. The U.S. only allows for 11 channels. Of these 11 channels, there is only room in the spectrum for three that don't overlap one another. These are channel 1,6, and 11.

On this new page, first change the WPA mode. This is the type of security you want to use for your network. Check out our guide, WEP vs. WPA for the differences in the security options. We recommend using WPA2.

Under that is the Cypher suite. This is how you plan on encrypting your data you send over the airwaves. Your choices are TKIP or AES. We recommend using AES. AES is the stronger one and is considered uncrackable at the moment.

The Authentication should be Pre-Shared Key. The Pre-shared key type should be Passphrase.

Below these is the Pre-shared Key. This is the password you will use to access your network. Create a strong password of at least 20 characters. Avoid using any personal information. Avoid using any words that can be found in a dictionary. Do use symbols, numbers, and capital letters if possible. For more help in creating a strong password, check out our guide titled Choosing a strong password.

When you are finished, click the Save button near the bottom of the page. That's it, you did it!
