SECURITY Page – Recommended Configuration Options

The following configuration options are highlighted in white on the SECURITY Page for easy reference. These are the options for which adjustments are recommended in order to establish a new wireless network with quality security measures.

These options establish security as per Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) standards.

If you intend to use wireless devices with the WR850 that are not capable of supporting WPA, then you should establish security measures that are backward compatible with the capabilities of those devices.

Field		Description
