Establishing Your First Connection to the WR850
Once the WR850 is placed, you can now establish your first PC connection to the WR850.
There are three ways to choose from to accomplish this:
(1) If your first connection will be a wired connection (i.e., an Ethernet cable will connect
the PC and the WR850), you can follow the step-by-step
easy install
process with
the included
WR850 Installation Wizard CD-ROM
.
[recommended]
(2) If your first connection will be a wired connection, but you do not wish to use the
WR850 Installation Wizard CD-ROM
, you can
manually install this first wired
connection
.
(3) If your first connection will be a wireless connection, you can
manually install this
first wireless connection
.
Easy Install Process
Run the Installation Wizard program from the supplied CD-ROM to quickly set up your
network. Once your network is up and running, for advanced configuration, see
Section 3: Configuration.
The Installation Wizard will automatically run once you place the CD-ROM in your PC’s
CD-ROM drive. It will confirm that the antenna and electrical connections have been made,
and then lead you step-by-step through setting up your WR850 in a typical configuration as
a wired/wireless router.
Manual Install – Wired Connection
If you are manually connecting your PC with an Ethernet cable to the router, your PC must
be installed first with an Ethernet adapter.
You need two Ethernet cables for this
procedure, one to connect the router to the modem and one to connect a PC to the router.
