The Sagem Livebox FTTHv2 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.

This is the wifi advanced page from your Sagem Livebox FTTHv2 router.

This brings you to the page you see here.

First, locate the WiFi name (SSID). To the right of that will be the current SSID. You need to change this to something unique. Select the orange option of modify. This opens a page or box that unfortunately we don't have. You are prompted on this new page or box to enter a new WiFi name (SSID). While what you enter here doesn't really matter we do recommend avoiding personal information. Learn more by clicking this link. If you are prompted to save this change, do so before continuing.

Once you are taken back to this page, locate the security mode. There are several options here and we recommend the strongest, WPA2-PSK/AES. If you want to learn why this is the best option for your home network, read our WEP vs. WPA.

Below that is the security key. Once again click the orange modify to the right. And once again we don't have that particular screenshot for you. You should be prompted to enter a password here for your internet network. Create a strong password of at least 14 to 20 characters with a mix of numbers, letters, and symbols. Learn more in our Password Guide. If prompted to save, do so before continuing.

The next setting is the channel. We suggest using channels 1,6, or 11. Learn why in our WiFi Channels Guide.

That's it, congratulations. Click the orange 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.
