The Dlink DSL-2750B 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 Name

Your wireless network needs to have a name to uniquely identify it from other wireless networks. If you are not sure what this means we have a guide explaining what a wireless name is that you can read for more information.

Wireless Password

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

Wireless Channel

Picking a WiFi channel is not always a simple task. Be sure to read about WiFi channels before making the choice.

Encryption

You should almost definitely pick WPA2 for your networks encryption. If you are unsure, be sure to read our WEP vs WPA guide first.

Change the WiFi Settings on the Dlink DSL-2750B

router wifi security wireless
This is the wifi security page from your Dlink DSL-2750B router.

At this point you may be asked how you want to setup the WiFi. I recommend choosing Manual.

Whether you are asked or not you need to end up on the page above.

First, be sure you Enable Wireless. Put a check in this box if it isn't already there.

Next is the Wireless Network Name (SSID). This is how you identify your network when trying to connect to it. Make this name unique. I recommend avoiding personal and router specific information. Learn more in our guide labeled How to Change your Wireless Name.

Below that is the Wireless Channel. If you want to change the channel go ahead and open up this drop down menu and select the new channel you want to use. Use only 1,6 or 11. Learn why in this WiFi Channels guide.

Now scroll down to the WIRELESS SECURITY MODE. In the Security Mode drop down list choose the security you want to use. I recommend using WPA2. Find out what this is and your other possible options in our WEP vs. WPA guide.

Then in the WPA Mode box choose WPA2-PSK (Personal).

Finally you need to enter a new Internet password. Do this in the box labeled Pre-Shared Key. This is the Internet password and should be at least 14 characters long. I recommend making this password as random looking as possible. Learn how to do this and remember the password in my guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

That's it, when you are finished click the Apply Settings button at the bottom of the page.

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.
