The Billion Bipac 7300GX 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.

wifi wireless
This is the wifi setup page from your Billion Bipac 7300GX router.

On this page, you must first change the ESSID. This should be the third option down the list. The ESSID is the name you give your network so you can identify it later on. When you create a name, don't use any personal information. Click the link - Wireless names for more on this subject.

If you want to hide your network name so your neighbors can't see it, click Disable next to ESSID Broadcast. Hiding your name camouflages it from scanning wireless devices in the area. This is not considered a security measure because a hacker can easily find hidden networks with the proper scanning tools.

Next, skip down to the Channel ID. This is the channel your network is transmitting data on. This can be changed just like a radio channel. If you are not getting the reception you think you should, try changing your channel. Change your channel if you are not on channel 1,6, or 11. These three channels are the most you can get out of the spectrum with out overlapping. When your network uses a channel that is overlapping your neighbors, it causes a lot of interference for both of you. On the other hand if you are completely sharing a channel, there is hardly any interference due to channel sharing technology in the routers. Be sure you are on one of these channels, 1,6, or 11. For more on this topic, read our guide titled WiFi channels.

That's all for this page, simply click the Apply button to save the changes you've made.

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

This takes you to a page like the one you see here.

Use the Security Mode drop down list to choose WPA2 Pre-Shared Key. There are several options here, and this is the most secure choice. Click the link, WEP vs. WPA, for more information.

Next is the WPA Shared Key. This is the password you are to use when accessing your network. Make sure this password is a strong one of at least 20 characters. Don't use any personal information in this password. You need to also avoid using any words that can be found in a dictionary. Do use symbols, and numbers in your password. For help in creating a strong and memorable password, click the link titled Choosing a strong password.

Once you are finished with these changes, click the Apply button.

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.
