I would appreciate some help to make sure that I have the proper security settings on my router
Hello, I currently have the NETGEAR AC1750 Dual Band WiFi Gigabit Router, when I originally bought it I set it up according to the instructions but now I'm wondering if I set it up properly. Course...

It probably doesn't matter, but AC1750 is not a router model. It is a wifi speed thing. Netgear makes several routers with that spec, including various versions of the R6400 and R6300.

if my router isn't a router why does it say it's a router and why does it work like a router??
The description is,
NETGEAR AC1750 Dual Band WiFi Gigabit Router (R6400)

No one said that. What I said was that "AC1750 is not a router model".
As you say, the description is:
NETGEAR AC1750 Dual Band WiFi Gigabit Router (R6400)
The important bit is R6400. The AC1750 thing is misleading.
This is the first time that you have mentioned R6400. You may have said that when you posted your first message, but the bulletin board did not pass on this information.
Now we know what you are talking about.
