The Billion 810VGTX 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.

This is the wifi setup page from your Billion 810VGTX router.

This takes you to the page you see above. There are four things on this page that may need to be changed.

  1. ESSID - This is the name you give your network so you are able to distinguish is from the others in your area. We recommend not using any personal information here. If you want to read more on this topic, read our guide titled Wireless names.
  2. Channel ID - This needs to be changed only if you are not on channel 1,6, or 11. Overlapping channels cause a lot of interference. On the other hand, completely sharing a channel does not. Within the spectrum there is only room for up to three channels that don't overlap. Be sure you are on one of these non-overlapping channels. For more on this topic, check out our guide titled WiFi channels.
  3. Security Mode - There are four choices here. The most secure choice is WPA2-PSK. For more details on the differences in the modes, check out our guide titled WEP vs. WPA.
  4. WPA2 Shared Key - This is the password you are to use when you want to connect to your network. We recommend creating a strong password of at least 20 characters. Please read our guide titled Choosing a strong password.

When you are done, be sure to click the Apply button.

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.
