The Belkin F9K1112 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.

wifi wireless
This is the wifi setup page from your Belkin F9K1112 router.

There are two columns on this page. One is titled 2.4GHz and the other is called 5GHz. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. We recommend 2.4GHz because more wireless devices can use this frequency than can use 5GHz.

Use the Wireless Channel list to choose the channel you want to use. Make sure you pick from channels 1, 6, and 11. Learn why in this guide.

The next setting is titled SSID. This is your network identification. Change this name to something unique that you will remember but don't use personal information. Learn more in this guide.

After you have made these two settings, click the Apply Changes button to save your settings.

Back in the left sidebar click the option of Security directly under Channel and SSID.

Using the same column as you did on the previous page, choose your Security Mode. Select WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK).

Then under that using the Authentication drop down list pick WPA2-PSK for the strongest form of security available right now. Learn all about this and your other options in this guide.

There is one more setting that needs to be changed. It is titled Pre-Shared Key(PSK). This is the internet password and should be strong. Use at least 14 characters and a minimum of one symbol, number, and capital letter. For more ideas click this link.

You did it! Just don't forget to click the Apply Changes button to finalize your settings.

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.
