The Dlink DSL-2750U 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.

This takes you to the page you see above. You may notice the first thing you can do on this page is use WPS to connect your wireless devices. We strongly advise against this. WPS is extremely easy to crack with the right program. We recommend clicking Disabled next to all the WPS options. Learn more by reading our What is WPS Guide.

Scroll down to the Manual Setup AP section and use the Select SSID menu to choose the Wireless name you just created on the first page.

Set the Network Authentication to the best security option for your network. We recommend using WPA2. This may look like WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK2. If you are interested in learning more about this topic, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide.

Now drop down to the WPA/WAPI passphrase. This is the password you use to gain or grant access to your local network. This is used in the encryption method so it is a good idea to create a strong password to protect your network. We recommend using between 14-20 characters. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols in your password. To learn how to create a strong and memorable password, read our guide on the topic titled Choosing a Strong Password.

There is one more thing you can change on this page. It is called WPA/WAPI Encryption. You have the choice of TKIP, AES, or both. We recommend the newest and most secure option of AES.

When you have finished this, click the button near the bottom of the page labeled Apply/Save.

That's it, your network is now more secure.

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.
