The Dlink AirPlus DI-614+ 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.

Wireless Password

An important part of securing your wireless network is choosing a strong password.

This is the wifi setup page from your Dlink AirPlus DI-614+ router.

You are now taken to the Wireless Settings page.

  • First, change the SSID. This is the name you give your wireless network so that you can distinguish it from the other ones around you. For security reasons do not use personal information in this name. Take a look at our Wireless Names Guide for more information on this topic.
  • Second, make sure you are on one of the correct Channels. Everyone with neighbors who may be using a wireless network should be using channel 1,6, or 11. If you want to learn more, read our WiFi Channels Guide.
  • Beneath that are four radio buttons. Choose the one on the far right titled WPA-PSK. This is by far the most secure option available for this router. For the best security, update your firmware. This would allow for WPA2-PSK. To learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of these security options, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide.
  • Now, enter an appropriate Passphrase. This is the password you are to use to gain access to your network. We recommend using at least 20 characters in this password. Don't use personal information and don't use any real words found in a dictionary. Do use some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in this password. You want to confuse the hacker. To create a seemingly random yet memorable password, read our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.
  • Retype this password in the box labeled Confirmed Passphrase.
  • When you are finished with that, click the green check-mark labeled 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.
