The GreenPacket MF250 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.

Wireless Name

Your wireless network needs to have a name to uniquely identify it from other wireless networks. If you are not sure what this means we have a guide explaining what a wireless name is that you can read for more information.

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.

Encryption

You should almost definitely pick WPA2 for your networks encryption. If you are unsure, be sure to read our WEP vs WPA guide first.

Change the WiFi Settings on the GreenPacket MF250

This is the wifi setup page from your GreenPacket MF250 router.

In the section titled WiFi-Settings use the Channel drop down list to choose the appropriate channel to use. The only three channels that should be used are 1,6, and 11. These three channels don't overlap one another which causes interference. For more info on this topic, click this link.

The next section is titled SSID Settings. Use the WLAN SSID box to create a new name for your wireless network. This name identifies your network from others. It doesn't really matter what is entered here but we recommend avoiding personal information. To learn more about this subject, click this link.

After that, find the Encryption Type. This is the security you plan on using for your network. The best option is WPA Personal.

Narrow down that WPA Personal choice with the next setting called WPA Mode. Here we recommend choosing the WPA2 option. To learn more about WEP, WPA, and WPA2 check out our guide by clicking this link.

The next setting is called Cipher Type. There are three choices available here, TKIP, AES, or both. We recommend the newer and more secure cipher of AES.

The last thing that needs to be changed is the Pre-shared Key. This is the password used to access your internet. This password is also used in the cipher method and should be strong. To create a strong password there are a few basic rules. These rules can be found in our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

That's it, just click the Apply button and you are finished.

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.
