The Dlink AirPlus DI-624 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.

Under that is the Channel. There is only room in the spectrum for up to three channels that don't overlap due to how wide the channels are. These channels are 1,6, and 11. Be sure to use one of these three channels. To learn more about this topic, read our WiFi Channels Guide.

Next is the Authentication. There are four possible choices here, the best option is WPA-PSK. If you want the best security for today's technology, we recommend updating your firmware. To learn more about the different security options, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide.

Now a Passphrase box appears. Use this to enter a strong password. This password is not only used to grant access to your network, but to encrypt your private information. Make this password strong at least 20 characters. Learn more about this by reading our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Enter the password again in the box labeled Confirmed Passphrase.

Tick Apply in the lower right corner.

That's it, you are finished.
