Congratulations on purchasing the Motorola WR850GP Wireless Broadband Router or Motorola WR850G Wireless Broadband Router.1

The WR850 includes both an 802.11b/g wireless access point and a 4-port Ethernet router. So it is both wireless and wired, providing the foundation for a truly customized network full of options.

Using the WR850, you can share files, pictures, peripherals, printers and more with everyone else on the network. By connecting a broadband modem (cable, DSL or other), you can also share a single high speed Internet connection.

The WR850 offers both the popular 802.11b wireless standard as well as the nearly

5-times-faster 802.11g standard, providing you the ultimate in flexibility and speed. With Wi-Fi®Protected Access (WPA) included, your wireless connections are robust and secure, giving you the security to communicate without fear that your signal might be compromised.

The WR850GP comes loaded with Performance Enhancement technology that accelerates your wireless network and your fun. This new technology boosts wireless performance among compatible Motorola devices up to 35% faster than over standard 802.11g networking.

Upgradeable firmware keeps the router’s control software up-to-date. The WR850 captures the latest technology in a package that stays current, protects your home network, and provides you easy home network management.
