The Pirelli DRG-A124G 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 wifi channel page from your Pirelli DRG-A124G router.

This takes you to a page like the one you see above. The first setting here is titled ESSID. This is the name you give your network. Go ahead and create a new name here and while it really doesn't matter what you enter here, we recommend avoiding personal information. To learn more, read our Wireless Names Guide.

Now take a look at the Channel you are on. If you are not on channel 1,6, or 11. Go ahead and change the channel to reflect one of these options. For more on the channels, read our guide titled WiFi Channels.

Click the SAVE SETTINGS button in the lower right corner of the page.

Go back to the left sidebar and click the option of Security.

This is the wifi security page from your Pirelli DRG-A124G router.

On this new page, use the drop-down list next to Allowed Client Type to choose the option of WPA Only.

At this point a box appears that is titled WPA. The first setting in the box is called WPA mode. Choose WPA2. To learn why, read our WEP vs. WPA Guide.

Make sure the Cypher suite is set to AES.

The Authentication should be at Pre-shared Key.

For the Pre-shared key type, set that to Passphrase (8~63 characters).

Finally you need to set the Pre-shared Key. This is the password you use to access your network. Go ahead and create a strong password here of at least 14-20 characters. Be creative and add some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in this new password. If you need further help on this, read our Password Guide.

That's all that needs to be done. Simply click the SAVE SETTINGS option 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.
