Conﬁguring Your Wireless Connection

The DG860 ships with wireless LAN security set by default. See the security label

on your product (shown on image at the left) for the factory security settings: net-

work name (SSID), encryption method, network key, and WPS PIN.

Note:

You must set up your computer and other client devices to work

with the security settings on the DG860. Refer to the documen-

tation for your client device for instructions on setting security.

On most computer systems you only need to select the network

name (SSID) device and enter the encryption key. If your com-

puter or client device supports WiFi Alliance WPS (Wireless Pro-

tected Setup), activate WPS on your computer or client device

and the DG860 simultaneously to easily set up your system se-

curity.

If you need to modify the Data Gateway’s default wireless security settings, or if you

want to conﬁgure any other wireless LAN settings, refer to the following instruc-

tions.
