The Mobily Connect 4G 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 faster than ever deal!

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 Mobily Connect 4G

To get started configuring the Mobily Connect 4G WiFi settings you need to login to your router. If you are already logged in you can skip this step.

To login to the Mobily Connect 4G, follow our Mobily Connect 4G Login Guide.

Find the WiFi Settings on the Mobily Connect 4G

If you followed our login guide above then you should see this screen.

This is the status page from your Mobily Connect 4G router.

This guide begins on the Status page of the Mobily Connect-4G router. To configure the WiFi settings, click the option at the top of the page labeled WiFi. Then be sure you are on the Basic WiFi Network.

Change the WiFi Settings on the Mobily Connect 4G

This is the wifi setup page from your Mobily Connect 4G router.

You should now be on a page very similar to the one you see here. First be sure that the box labeled Enable WiFi Interface is checked.

Below that is a setting titled Network Name(SSID). This is the name you create in order to identify your network. It's not that important what you enter here but we recommend avoiding personal information. To learn more about this topic, read our How to Change your Wireless Name guide.

Check to see if you are on the Standard Channel of 1,6, or 11. These three channels don't overlap one another and we recommend that everyone use one of these three channels. Learn more about this in our WiFi Channels Guide.

Now scroll down to the Security section. Use the Authentication drop down list to choose WPA-PSK. This is the best security option for home networks. To learn why read our WEP vs. WPA guide.

Next is the Encryption. We recommend the option of AES.

The last thing you need to enter is titled Pre-Shared Key or possibly the Pre-Shared Setting. This is the password you type into any wireless device you want to access your internet network. Our recommendation is to use at least 14-20 characters in this new password. There are more tips for you in our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

That's it, you are finished. 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.
