The KEEBOX W150NR 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 KEEBOX W150NR router.

On this page, find the SSID box. Enter a suitable name for your network. This name is used for identification of your network. It doesn't matter what you enter here but we recommend avoiding personal information. Learn more about the SSID in our How to Change your Wireless Name Guide.

To change the WiFi channel, tick the radio button labeled Disable to the right of the option of Auto channel. Then in the drop down list titled Channel pick the appropriate channel for your network. Be sure to use one of the non overlapping channels of 1,6, and 11. To learn why you should only use one of these three channels, read our WiFi Channels Guide.

That's all that needs to be done on this page, just click the Apply option near the bottom of the page. Then in the left sidebar tick the link of Security.

This takes you to a page like the one you see here. The first setting is called Broadcast SSID. If you want to hide your SSID name, simply click the option of Disable. This is not a full proof method of hiding your SSID. A hacker determined to find hidden networks can still do so with the right tools. We don't recommend disabling the SSID broadcast.

Below that is the Encryption. The recommended choice here is WPA2 Only.If you are interested in learning why this is the preferred choice, read our guide titled WEP vs. WPA.

Next is the PSK/EAP type. Click the option of PSK here. This means you will use a password to allow wireless devices on your network.

Set the WPA type to AES.

You should then be asked for a Passphrase or password for your network. It may also be called the Pre-Shared Key. This password should be strong. We recommend using at least 14-20 characters here. Try and use at least one symbol, number, and capital letter also. For more tips on this subject, read our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

When you are finished, click the Apply button.

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.
