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.

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

This directs you to the page you see here.

The first section is titled WIRELESS NETWORK SETTINGS.

  • Wireless Network Name - This is also called the SSID. The SSID is a name you create in order to identify your network when needed. It doesn't really matter what you enter here so long as it will be memorable for you. Don't use personal information for security reasons. To learn more about this WiFi name, read our Wireless Names Guide.
  • Wireless Channel - This can be changed just like the radio or television. You should use a channel that does not overlap with your neighbors. Completely sharing is alright due to built in channel sharing software. Make sure to use channel 1,6, or 11. These three channels are the most you can get out of the spectrum without overlap. Read more by clicking this link. If you need to change the channel, uncheck the box labeled Enable Auto Channel Scan. Then choose channel 1,6, or 11 from the Wireless Channel drop down menu.

The next section is titled WIRELESS SECURITY MODE.

  • Security Mode - This is the type of security you plan on using for your WiFi network. The best option available for home networks is Enable WPA2 Wireless Security (enhanced). To learn more about your different options, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide.
  • Cipher Mode - Your options here are TKIP, AES, or Auto. Our recommendation is the use of AES as your encryption method.
  • PSK/EAP - This is asking how you plan on allowing wireless devices to access your network. Home networks should use a password, choose PSK from the drop down menu.
  • Passphrase - This is referring to the password you use to grant access to your local network. This password should be strong as it also used in the encryption technique. We recommend using at least 14-20 characters with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. The more random looking a password is the stronger it is. To learn how to create a password like this that is memorable, read our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.
  • Confirmed Passphrase - Retype the password in the available box.
  • Save Settings - Click this option at the top of the page.

Congratulations, you are finished.

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.
