The ZTE ZXV10 W300 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.

On this page you will need to change the Primary SSID. This is the network ID and should be unique. This name can be anything you like, but we recommend avoiding personal information. Take a look at this guide for more on the subject.

The other setting that can be changed on this page is the Channel Number. Just make sure that when you change it, you use channels 1, 6, or 11. Learn why in this WiFi Channels Guide.

Click the Submit button in the lower right corner of the page to save your changes.

You are then directed to a page like the one you see above. First use the drop down list titled Select a SSID and its Wireless Security level to choose the network name you created on the previous page.

Then below that are three different security options. None, WEP, and WPA. WPA is definitely the strongest option here but it is still very outdated. Learn about your different security choices here. Our recommendation is to update your firmware.

When you have made all the changes you wanted to make, click the Submit button in the bottom right corner of the page. You will need to click the Restart AP in order for these changes to take effect.

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.
