Usage
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.
