The Billion BiPAC 7800NXL 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.

After that comes, Network Authentication. There are several choices here, we recommend that you use WPA2-PSK. This is the most secure choice available today. For more on this topic, click the link - WEP vs. WPA.

Use the box called passphrase to enter a password. This password is the one you use to access the network. We recommend using at least 20 characters here. Do not use personal information here. We also recommend not using any words that can be found in a dictionary. If you need to use words, make sure and misspell them. Do use symbols, capital letters, and numbers in the password. If you want more on this topic, click the link - Choosing a strong password.

Finally, you should use the drop down list titled Encryption and choose the option of TKIP, AES, or both. We recommend using AES. AES is the newest and most secure option available today. TKIP is older and has some flaws making it easier to crack.

Click the Apply button and you are finished.

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.
