The Virgin Media Super Hub 2 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.

This is the wifi setup page from your Virgin Media Super Hub 2 router.

You are then taken to a page a lot like the one you see here called 2.4GHz Primary Wireless Network.

In the space titled SSID enter a new name for your network ID. This name can be anything you like as long as you can remember it. Our only recommendation is to avoid personal data. Take a look at our Wireless Name Guide for more on the subject.

The second setting on this page is that you need to check is the Security Mode. For maximum security it should be set to WPA2-PSK[AES]. To learn what you different options are, check out this WPA2 guide.

The last setting that needs your attention is the Passphrase. This is your internet password. It's a good idea to make this password as strong as possible. We recommend a minimum of 14 to 20 characters. If you need more help in creating a strong password check out this Password guide.

Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings
