The Billion Bipac 7800N 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.

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.

Now, look down the page until you see the Channel ID. You need to be sure you are on channel 1,6, or 11. These three channels are the most you can get out of the spectrum without overlap. Overlapping channels cause a lot of interference. Completely sharing a channel does not due to channel sharing technology within the router.

Next is the WPA Algorithm. This is referring to the encryption you plan on using. The strongest and newest choice is AES.

Below that is the WPA Shared Key. This is the password you are going to use to access the network. This password is also used when encrypting your private data. Make this a strong password of at least 20 characters. We recommend that you don't use any personal information in this password, it makes guessing your password easier. Don't use any words found in a dictionary, these passwords are easily cracked using dictionary cracking programs. Do use some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in your password. For more on this subject, click the link titled Choosing a strong password.

That's it, just click Apply.

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.
