The Huawei B890-75 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.

This is the wifi setup page from your Huawei B890-75 router.

This brings you to the page you see above. Here find the Channel and use the drop down list to be sure you are on channel 1,6, or 11. To learn why you should only be using one of these three channels, read our guide titled WiFi Channels.

Farther down the page you should see a box titled Name (SSID). This is the name you give your wireless network for identification. This can be anything you want it to be, but we recommend avoiding personal information. To learn more about the SSID, read our guide titled Wireless Names.

Next is the 802.11 Authentication. This is the security for your network. We highly recommend the option of WPA2-PSK if available. If not, update your firmware to allow for WPA2-PSK. Learn why this is important by reading our guide titled WEP vs. WPA.

Next is the WPA encryption. The best choice is AES.

The last thing you need to enter in is the WPA Pre-Shared Key. This is the password you need to enter into your wireless devices to gain access to your network. We strongly recommend that this password be strong. Use at least 14-20 characters here. We also suggest making this password look as random as possible using symbols, numbers, and capital letters. Learn more tips by reading our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

Click the Apply button before you exit.

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.
