The Netcomm MyZone 3G24W 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 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.

This is the setup page from your Netcomm MyZone 3G24W router.

This directs you to the Wireless > Configuration page.

  • Find the heading of Wireless Setup and use the drop down list titled Frequency (Channel) to pick the appropriate channel. Everyone should use either channel 1,6, or 11. These three channels are the most you can get out of the spectrum without overlapping. Learn more about it in our WiFi Channels Guide.
  • Below that is the heading of Security Settings. Use the space labeled SSID to enter a new network name. Create a unique name here that helps you identify your network. It really doesn't matter what you enter here but we recommend avoiding personal information. Learn more about the SSID in our Wireless Names Guide.
  • Use the Network Authentication drop-down list to choose WPA2-PSK. If you are interested in learning why this is the best option read our WEP vs. WPA guide.
  • Next is the WPA Pre-Shared Key. This is your new internet password. For security reasons we recommend creating a strong password of at least 14-20 characters. Check out our Choosing a Strong Password Guide for more info on the topic.
  • That's all that needs to be done, just click the Save 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.
