The Dlink WBR-2310 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.

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-2310 router.

You are then directed to a page like the one you see here.

  1. Change the Wireless Network Name. This is also sometimes referred to as the SSID. This is the name you give your network so that you can identify it later on. It doesn't matter what you enter here so long as it is memorable for you. Do not use personal information. If you want to learn more about the SSID, read our Wireless Names Guide.
  2. Next is the Wireless Channel. This can be changed just like a radio or television channel. You need to be on a non-overlapping channel. There is only room in the WiFi spectrum for up to three channels that do not overlap, 1,6, and 11. Be sure you are using one of these three channels. To learn more about this, read our WiFi Channels Guide. To change the channel, you may first need to uncheck the box titled Enable Auto Channel Scan then choose a channel from the Wireless Channel drop down menu.
  3. Now find the Security Mode. There are several different choices here and if you want to know the differences, check out our guide titled WEP vs. WPA. Our recommendation is the option of Enable WPA2 Wireless Security (enhanced).
  4. Some new options should now appear. In the drop down menu of Cipher Type you can choose between TKIP, AES, or AUTO. Our recommendation is the newest form of encryption, AES.
  5. Next to PSK/EAP, select the option of PSK.
  6. The Passphrase is next. This is the password you are to use to gain or grant access to your local network. We recommend using at least 14 characters in this password. This password should contain at least one number and symbol along with the letters you use. The more random a password looks, the stronger it is. To learn more about creating a strong and memorable password, read our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.
  7. Confirm this password by retyping it in the Confirmed Passphrase box.
  8. Click the Save Settings option near the top of the page to save your changes.

Congratulations, you are done.

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.
