LED functions the Power LED does not blink when afirmware update is in progress. (See How to Upgradefor details.) The WAN (wide area network) LED no longerblinks red when it has lost its IP connection to its defaultgateway, or when the WAN connection repair procedureis still in progress. When the Wireless LED is off, the

wireless interface is not enabled by the firmware (nolonger displays red.) Also, when this LED is blinking, thewireless interface is enabled and active wireless trafficis present. The Wireless LED does not blink on WR850GV1 hardware. Refer to the WR850G/GP User Guide for acomplete description of LED functions.

User Interface (UI) User interface of Web-basedconfiguration utility realigned to support direct access tomajor functions (WAN interface, LAN interface, wirelessinterface, and advanced routing features). Refer toTables 1 and 2 in this document to quickly locaterenamed and new features in the UI.

To configure the router to support connections tobroadband services (wide area network):

Note: Refer to the text file you generated using the conversion utility to make changes on this page.

1 Select the WAN tab on the configuration menu bar.

2 In the Connection Mode box, select theprotocol indicated in the converted configuration textfile:DHCP an IP address is dynamically assigned to theWR850 (per the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP). This is typically used with cable modems orgateways, and DSL gateways.

Static an IP address is manually assigned to the WANconnection.

PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)used. PPPoE is typically used with DSL modems.

Disabled the WAN connection is disabled.

DHCP is the default.

Note: Perform the steps below only if PPPoE was selected in step 2.

3 In the PPPoE Username box, type the username indicated in the converted configuration textfile.The default is blank.

4 In the PPPoE Password box, type the pass-word indicated in the converted configuration text file.

5 In the PPPoE Service Name box, type the servicename indicated in the converted configuration text file.

6 Be sure all other parameters listed in the .txt fileyou generated match the parameter fields on this screen

7 ClickApply. When it is done, clickContinue.Review the changes and then go to another configura-tion page by selecting another tab on the configurationmenu bar.

If you are done configuring, see Restarting the WR850.

To configure the Wireless network:

When you upgrade, any configuration settings for wireless connected devices are lost. Refer to the User Guide for morinformation about each configuration parameter on the Wireless page, and Table 1 to map previous versions of wireless configuration parameters to the wireless parameters in revision 6.x. Refer to Table 2 for new wirelesparameters.

Note: Refer to the text file you generated using the conversion utility in step E to make changes on this page.

1 Select the Wireless tab on the configuration menubar.

2 In the Network Name (SSID) box, type theservice set identifier using up to 32 alphanumericcharacters, as indicated in the converted configurationtext file.

When a client looks to connect wirelessly to the WR850, thisSID will be the identifier by which it recognizes theetwork.

he default is motorola plus the Wireless MAC Address,which can be found on the product label.

In the Channel box, select the channel to use (in theU.S., available channels are 1 through 11). You canswitch the channel if you experience poor wirelessperformance due to interference.

4 Be sure all other parameters listed in the .txt fileyou generated match the parameter fields on this screen.

5 ClickApply. When it is done, clickContinue.Review the changes and then go to another configura-tion page by selecting another tab on the configurationmenu bar. If you are done configuring, see Restartingthe WR850.

o configure the security options which protectnformation sharing over wireless connections:

When you upgrade, all security configuration settings areeplaced with version 6.x defaults. Refer to Table 1 for morenformation about each configuration parameter on the

ecurity page.Note: Refer to the text file you generated using the onversion utility to make changes on this page.

1 Select the Security tab on the configuration menubar.

2 In the WPA-PSK box, select Enabled orDisabled from the list. This engages or disengages Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) authentication using thePre-Shared Key (PSK) method.

3 In the WPA2-PSK box, selectEnabled or Disabledfrom the list. This engages or disengages Wi-FiProtected Access (WPA) version 2 authentication usingthe Pre-Shared Key (PSK) method.

Notes: 1) The next option (step 4) is dimmed unless WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is Enabled. 2) For optimum security, the same authentication and encryption methods (step 4) should be used for the WR850 and all devices with which it will communicate. However,multiple methods can be used. For example, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK can be enabled concurrently to support devices with mixed capabilities. Refer to

Authentication Methods in Section 3 in the user guidefor details.

4 In theWPA Encryption box, select anencryption method:

TKIP engages the Temporal key Integrity Protocol

AES engages the Advanced Encryption Standard

TKIP + AES supports a mix of devices using these

two encryption methods

Notes: 1) The next option (step 5) is dimmed unless WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is Enabled. 2) Using at least 20 characters is strongly recommended fothe pass phrase. 3) As you enter the pass phrase, it doesnot appear. After you apply the changes, you can select the Show button to display the pass phrase in a small dialog box.
