The Dynamode R-ADSL-C4W-G1 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 faster than ever 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.

This is the wifi security page from your Dynamode R-ADSL-C4W-G1 router.

Starting at the top of this page, use the box labeled Select SSID to choose the SSID you created on the first page.

Just below that is the Network Authentication menu. Choose the appropriate security for your network. There are several options here, if you want to learn more about them, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide. Our suggestion is the use of WPA2-PSK.

Now skip down to the WPA Pre-Shared Key. This is the password you use to gain access to your network through your router. We recommend using at least 14-20 characters with a mix of numbers, symbols, and letters. To learn how to create a strong and memorable password, read our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

If you want to change the style of encryption your security mode uses, go down to the option of WPA Encryption. There are three choices here. TKIP, AES, or both. TKIP is older and has some basic flaws making it easier to crack. We recommend choosing AES.

That's it, just click the Save/Apply button before you exit. Some routers require you to restart your router before these changes take effect.

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.
