The Cisco EPC3925 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.

You are now on a page like the one you see above.

First, Enable the Wireless Network.

Second, choose Manual for the Wireless Configuration. We strongly recommend not using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. To learn why, read our guide titled What is WPS.

The next thing that needs to be changed is the Standard Channel. You need to be using a channel that does not overlap with any of your neighbors. There is only room in the spectrum for up to three channels that do not overlap, therefore everyone should use one of these three channels, 1,6, or 11. For more on this topic, click the link of WiFi Channels.

The last thing that needs to be changed on this page is the Network Name (SSID). This is the name you give your network so you can identify it when you need to. Create a unique name that doesn't contain anything personal in it. Take a look at our guide for more info. Wireless names.

Click the Save Settings button when you are finished.

The Wireless Security Mode is the first thing you need to check. We recommend using the mode of WPA2-Personal. To learn why this is the best option, click the link titled WEP vs. WPA.

Next is the Encryption. The best choice is AES, it is considered very secure.

The last thing you need to change is the Pre-Shared Key. This is the password you use to access your network. This password needs to be strong in order to thwart attacks. Do not use personal information in this password, it is easier to guess than you might think. Don't use any words that are found in a dictionary, these types of passwords are cracked easily due to programs designed to check for words. Create a password of at least 20 characters. Use some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in this password. For more on this topic, click the link titled Choosing a strong password.

Finally, click the Save Settings button near the bottom of the page. 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.
