The WR850 includes both an 802.11b/g wireless access point and a 4-port Ethernet router.
So it is both wireless and wired, providing the foundation for a truly customized network full
of options.
Using the WR850, you can share files, pictures, peripherals, printers and more with
everyone else on the network. By connecting a broadband modem (cable, DSL or other),
you can also share a single high speed Internet connection.
The WR850 offers both the popular 802.11b wireless standard as well as the nearly
5-times-faster 802.11g standard, providing you the ultimate in flexibility and speed. With
®
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) included, your wireless connections are robust and secure,
giving you the security to communicate without fear that your signal might be compromised.
The WR850GP comes loaded with Performance Enhancement technology that accelerates
your wireless network and your fun. This new technology boosts wireless performance
among compatible Motorola devices up to 35% faster than over standard 802.11g
networking.
Upgradeable firmware keeps the router's control software up-to-date. The WR850 captures
the latest technology in a package that stays current, protects your home network, and
provides you easy home network management.
