For a typical WR850 configuration as a wired/wireless router, review and adjust as
necessary only those configuration options designated as “commonly used” or
“recommended”. These fields are labeled with

options as desired. Field codes requiring more advanced knowledge to configure
are labeled with black letters.

Utility to establish security measures on your wireless network, and re-connect
securely to the WR850, prior to making any other changes to the WR850.
