The Billion Bipac 7700N R2 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 faster than ever 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.

Click the Apply/Save button at the bottom of the page when you are finished.

You are taken to a page like the one you see above. The only thing you need to look at and possibly change is the Channel. This setting is close to the top of the page. You can change the channel if you are not receiving the reception you think you should. You also need to change the channel if you are not on channel 1,6, or 11. There is only room in the spectrum for up to three channels that don't interfere with one another. Be sure to use one of these three channels. For more on this topic, click the link titled WiFi channels.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page and click the Apply/Save button.

Next, click the link in the left sidebar, under Wireless, labeled Security.

This is the wifi security page from your Billion Bipac 7700N R2 router.

This page deals with the type of security and encryption you are to use for your home network. The first section is all about WiFi Protcted Setup(WPS). WPS is a very insecure tool. It can easily be cracked. Do not use WPS. We strongly recommend Disabling all WPS.

Now, scroll down to where it says Manual Setup AP. Under this is a drop down list titled Select SSID. Choose the wireless name you created earlier.

Below that is the Network Authentication. This is asking what type of security you want to use. There are quite a few choices here, and we highly recommend reading our guide on the differences by clicking the following link, WEP vs. WPA. The best choice is WPA2-PSK.

The next thing you need to change is the WPA/WAPI passphrase. This is the password you use to access your network. This is also used in the encryption method, so create a strong password of at least 20 characters. Don't use personal information here. Don't use any real words found in a dictionary either. You should use some symbols, and numbers in the password. For more on creating a strong and memorable password, click the link titled Choosing a strong password.

The last thing you need to change is the WPA/WAPI Encryption. This is the type of encryption you are going to use when transmitting your data on the airwaves. It uses your password to create keys. There should be three choices here, TKIP, AES, or TKIP+AES. TKIP is older and has some flaws that make it less secure. We recommend using the option of AES.

Now scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Apply/Save button.

That's it, congratulations, 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.
