The Dlink WBR-1310 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.

Wireless Channel

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

This is the wifi setup page from your Dlink WBR-1310 router.

This directs you to the page you see here.

In the first section change the Wireless Network Name. This is the name you give your network so that you can identify it later on. It doesn't matter what you enter here but we recommend that you avoid personal information. To learn more, read our Wireless Names Guide.

Next is the Wireless Channel. This can be changed just like your radio channel. There are up to three channels that don't overlap one another. We recommend that you use one of these three channels, 1,6, and 11. To learn more about these channels, read our WiFi Channels Guide. To change your channel, you will first need to uncheck the box labeled Enable Auto Channel Scan. Then, choose the channel you plan on using for your WiFi in the drop down menu titled Wireless Channel.

The next section is titled WIRELESS SECURITY MODE. First you need to choose the type of security you want to use for your home network. We recommend using the option of Enable WPA2-Personal Security (enhanced). To learn more about the different options available to you, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide.

Below that is the Cipher Mode. You have three different options here. TKIP, AES, or Auto. Our recommendation is the encryption type of AES.

Next is the option of PSK/EAP. Select the option of PSK.

After that is the Passphrase. This is the password you use to gain access to your network. This password is also used in the encryption so it really does need to be strong. We highly recommend using at least 14-20 characters in length. You should also use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. To learn how to create a strong and memorable password, read our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

Confirm the password by typing it again in the box labeled Confirmed Passphrase.

That's it, just click the option of Save Settings at the top 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.
