The Billion Bipac 7300G RA 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.

Wireless Name

Your wireless network needs to have a name to uniquely identify it from other wireless networks. If you are not sure what this means we have a guide explaining what a wireless name is that you can read for more information.

Wireless Password

An important part of securing your wireless network is choosing a strong password.

Wireless Channel

Picking a WiFi channel is not always a simple task. Be sure to read about WiFi channels before making the choice.

Encryption

You should almost definitely pick WPA2 for your networks encryption. If you are unsure, be sure to read our WEP vs WPA guide first.

This is the status page from your Billion Bipac 7300G RA router.

Change the WiFi Settings on the Billion Bipac 7300G RA

This is the wifi setup page from your Billion Bipac 7300G RA router.

The first thing that should be changed on this page is the ESSID. This is the name you give your network so you can distinguish it from the others in the area. You should create a unique name without any personal data. Be sure to read our guide - Wireless names.

If you want to hide your network name, click the Enable radio button next to Hide ESSID. This only hides it from the general public. This is only a camouflage, not invisibility. An hacker can still find your network using the proper scanning tools.

Now, find the drop down list titled Channel ID. Just like a radio, you can change the channel on your WiFi. If you are not receiving the reception you used to, try changing the channel. You should also change your channel if you are not on channel 1,6, or 11. In the spectrum available for use, there is only room for up to three channels that don't overlap. Overlapping channels cause a lot of interference. However, completely sharing a channel does not cause nearly as much due to channel sharing software within the router itself. For more on this topic, click the link - WiFi channels.

Click Apply to save your changes.

Now, click the link in the left sidebar labeled Wireless Security.

This takes you to the page you see here. First, use the drop down list labeled Security Mode to choose WPA2 Pre-Shared Key. There are several choices here, and for more on the differences with these modes, read our guide - WEP vs. WPA.

After that should be the WPA2 Algorithm. This is the encryption method you are to use when transmitting your data over the airwaves. According to the manual there is only one choice, TKIP. TKIP is an older version of encryption that has some downsides making it easier to crack. Our recommendation is AES if possible. AES is much newer and with today's technology is considered uncrackable.

Next is the WPA2 Shared Key. This is the password you use to gain access to your network. It is also used in the encryption so it is quite important to create a strong password. We recommend using at least 20 characters. Read our guide by clicking the link - Choosing a strong password for help with this.

The last thing is the Group Key Interval. This is asking you how many seconds before you want the router to create a new encryption key with your password. You can leave this at 3600.

When you are finished, click the Apply button to save your changes.

That's it, you did it!

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.
