The Draytek Vigor-2920 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.

NordVPN birthday deal!

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 Draytek Vigor-2920 router.

This takes you to a page like the one you see above. The two settings we will discuss here are the SSID and the Channel.

The SSID is the network name. This is how you identify your network. This name is also visible to others so keep that in mind when you name your network. Learn more in our wireless names guide.

The other setting you might want to change is the Channel. You may need to change your WiFi channel periodically. I just had a new neighbor move in near me and I have noticed a dramatic slow down in my Internet. I need to change my channel to clear one if possible. When you change your channel make sure to use channels 1, 6, or 11. To learn more check out our WiFi Channels guide.

That's all that needs to be changed on this page. Click the OK button near the bottom of the page.

Back on the left side of the page click the Wireless LAN option again to open it. Then under that choose the link titled Security Settings.

You are directed to a Security Settings page similar to the one you see above.

The first setting is titled Mode. This is the encryption. We recommend using WPA2/PSK. Find out why in our WEP vs. WPA guide.

The other setting that needs to be setup is the Pre-Shared Key (PSK). This is the Internet password and should be strong so not just anyone can use it. Find out how to create a good strong password in our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

That's it, when you are finished click the OK button to save your changes.

Congratulations, your local network is now 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.
