The Intracom NetFasteR IAD 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.

Login To The Intracom NetFasteR IAD

To get started configuring the Intracom NetFasteR IAD WiFi settings you need to login to your router. If you are already logged in you can skip this step.

This is the wifi setup page from your Intracom NetFasteR IAD router.

On this page enter the new wireless name in the box labeled SSID. The wireless name is the way you identify your network. This name can be seen by neighboring wireless networks. It's a good idea to avoid personal information and router specific information. Learn more in my guide titled Wireless Names.

If you need to change your channel you do that on this page as well. Open up the Channel drop down list and choose the channel number you want to use. We recommend using channels 1,6 or 11 only. Learn why in my WiFi Channels guide.

That's it for this page. Click SAVE SETTINGS near the bottom of the page.

Now look back in the left sidebar and click the option of Security.

This directs you to the Wireless Security page.

On this page the first setting you need to pick is the Allowed Client Type. We recommend the WPA2 Only option. If you are interested in what this means and your other options check out my WEP vs. WPA guide.

Next is the Authentication. Choose Pre-shared Key.

Below that is the Pre-Shared Key Type. I highly recommend choosing the option of Passphrase (8-63 characters).

Finally you need to enter the Pre-shared Key. This is the Internet or network password. This password should be at least 14 characters long. The longer your password the harder it is to crack. Learn more about this in the guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.

That's it, simply click the SAVE SETTINGS 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.
