The Motorola 3347 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 Motorola 3347

To get started configuring the Motorola 3347 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 Motorola 3347 router.

On this page the only setting that should be changed is the SSID. This is the name you need to create in order to identify your network. It can be anything you like but we suggest that you stay away from personal data like names or numbers. Learn more about the SSID in our Wireless Names Guide.

Click the option at the bottom of the page labeled Apply and Reboot.

After this is done, go back to the Wireless Setup page and click the option in the left sidebar labeled WPA or WPA2.

This is the wifi wps page from your Motorola 3347 router.

This takes you to a page like the one you see here. First, use the Select SSID drop down list to choose the SSID you just created on the previous page.

Next you need to Select WPA or WPA2. We recommend the option of WPA2 Only. To find out why, read our WEP vs. WPA guide.

Below that, click the radio button labeled Home Network Options.

Now you need to enter the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for Home Network. This is the password you type into wireless devices that you want to use to access your network. Go ahead and create a strong password of at least 14-20 characters. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Learn more in our Choosing a Strong Password Guide.

Click the Apply and Reboot button when you are finished.

If you are not receiving the reception you think you should for your network, you should consider changing the WiFi channel. Click the Wireless Setup option, then Channel in the left sidebar.

This is the wifi channel page from your Motorola 3347 router.

Once you have been directed to this page, use the drop down list titled Select Channel to pick a channel that doesn't overlap with your neighbors. We recommend that everyone use either channel 1,6, or 11. These three channels don't overlap with one another. Overlapping channels causes a lot of interference. Completely sharing a channel does not due to channel sharing software built into the router. Find out more in our WiFi Channels Guide.

That's it, click the Apply and Reboot button one more time before exiting.

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.
