The Dlink AirPlus DI-624S 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.

Next, use the Channel drop down list to choose the channel of 1,6, or 11. These are the only channels most of us should be using, to learn why, read our WiFi Channels Guide.

Now find Authentication. There are several options here. We recommend the last one titled WPA2-PSK. This is considered the most secure option available today. Read about it in our WEP vs. WPA Guide.

The next thing to do is choose a proper Passphrase. This is the password you are to use to gain access to your network. this is also used in the encryption method so create a strong password of at least 20 characters. This may seem difficult but read our Choosing a Strong Password Guide before you give up and enter a short, easy to crack password.

Re-type your strong password in the box labeled Confirmed Passphrase.

Tick the green Apply button and you are done.
