Navigation Between Pages

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.

needed to allow specific clients on your local network to run and share certain programs
