The FRITZ BOX Fon WLAN 7570 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.

There is only room in the spectrum for three channels that don't overlap one another. Everyone should be using on of these channels, 1,6, or 11. For more information on this topic, read our guide titled WiFi channels.

The other setting on this page that you can change is the WLAN standard. We recommend leaving this at the default 802.11n+g+b. This is referring to the types of wireless devices you are allowing on your network. 802.11n+g+b allows for the widest range.

Below that in the drop down list titled WPA mode choose WPA2 (CCMP). This is the strongest form of security and encryption available.

Next is the WLAN key. This is referring to the password you will use to access your network. We recommend creating a strong password of at least 20 characters. Avoid using any personal information in this password. You should also avoid using any words that can be found in a dictionary. We do however recommend using symbols, numbers, and capital letters if possible. To help create a strong and memorable password we've created a guide for you titled Choosing a strong password.

When you have finished, click the Apply button near the bottom of the page. That's it, you did it!

Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings
