The Web-based Configuration Utility is made up of nine configuration pages, each with configuration options tied to different functions of the WR850. A “selection bar,” listing all of these configuration pages, appears at the top of each configuration page.

Figure 3-2 Configuration Page Selection Bar

You can access any page by moving the cursor over a specific configuration page title in the selection bar, and clicking on the page title.

These configuration pages are as follows:

ƒBASIC: This page allows you to configure basic access and control features of your WR850.

ƒLAN (LOCAL AREA NETWORK): This page allows you to configure your WR850 to support connections to devices within your local home or small office network.

ƒWAN (WIDE AREA NETWORK): This page allows you to configure your WR850 to support connections to broadband services.

ƒSTATUS: This page displays information about the status of your WR850.

ƒFILTERS: This page allows you to configure two types of filters, allowing you to block undesired use of your broadband connection. One potential use of these filters is to set parental controls on the use of the Internet.

ƒROUTING: This page allows you to configure port forwarding and triggering rules, as needed to allow specific clients on your local network to run and share certain programs that use the Internet.

ƒWIRELESS: This page allows you to configure your wireless network.

ƒSECURITY: This page allows you to configure security features to protect information shared over wireless connections.

ƒFIRMWARE: This page allows you to upgrade the firmware of your WR850.

On each configuration page, the most commonly used configuration options are highlighted in white for easy reference. What follows are page-by-page descriptions of the configuration options available.
