The FRITZ BOX WLAN 7340 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 FRITZ BOX WLAN 7340 router.

The above page is the closest I can show you to the radio network page.

The only setting that needs to be changed on the radio network page is the Name of the radio network (SSID). This is the wireless network name and should be unique to you. We recommend avoiding personal information. Find out more in our guide about wireless names.

That will be all there is to do on the radio network page. Click the Apply button to save your changes. Then in the left sidebar click the option of Security under WLAN.

On this new page you are asked what type of security you want to use. We recommend using WPA2. To do this first select the option of WPA encryption (recommended, highest security). Then below that find the drop down menu titled WPA mode. Use this drop down menu to choose WPA2. To learn more about your different options check out our guide titled WEP vs. WPA.

The other setting that needs your attention is the WLAN key. This is the Internet password and should be strong. Create a password of at least 14 characters. For help with this read our Choosing a Strong Password guide.

That is all that needs to be changed. Just don't forget to apply your changes to save them.

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.
