The Vodafone ARV4519PW 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.

An important part of securing your wireless network is choosing a strong password.

This is the general page from your Vodafone ARV4519PW router.

You are then taken to a page like the one you see here. First be sure the radio button titled Enabled is marked.

You can now use the drop down list titled Select Channel to pick the right channel for your network. If you change this be sure you use channels 1, 6, or 11. Find out why in this WiFi Channels Guide.

Now locate the SSID (name of WiFi network) and change it to something you create. It doesn't matter what you enter here but we recommend avoiding personal information. Learn more about this topic in our Wireless Name Guide.

Under that is the Security. Here you need to choose the security you want to use for your network. For maximum security we recommend using WPA2-PSK. Learn all about this option in this guide.

The last setting that needs to be changed is the Password (Ascii). This is the internet password you need to type into any device you want to connect to your network. This password should be strong. We recommend using at least 14 to 20 characters. If you need further help, check out this guide.

That's it, when you are happy with your changes, click the OK to finalize your settings.

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.
