How to install your router

To install your router:

Power on your new router. If replacing an existing router, disconnect it.

Connect the Internet cable from your modem to the yellow Internet port

on your router. Wait until the power light on the front of the router is

solid.

Connect to the secure wireless name shown in the Quick Start Guide that

came with your router. (You can change the network name and password

later during router setup.) If you need help connecting to the network,

refer to your device documentation. Note: You will not have Internet

access until router setup is complete.

Open a web browser and follow the instructions to complete your

router’s setup. If instructions do not appear in the web browser, enter

linksyssmartwifi.com in the browser’s address bar.

At the end of setup, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your

Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account. Use Linksys Smart Wi-Fi to easily manage

your router’s settings, such as:

• Change your router’s name and password

• Set up guest access

• Configure parental controls

• Connect devices to your network

• Test your Internet connection speed

NOTE:

As part of the router setup process, you will be sent a verification

e-mail. From your home network, click the link in the e-mail to

associate your router with the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account. Make

sure that the link opens in a supported web browser, such as

Internet Explorer 8 or higher, Firefox 8 or higher, Google Chrome 10

or higher, and Safari 5 (for Mac) or higher.

If you cannot click the link while behind your new Linksys router, log into

Linksys Smart Wi-Fi while behind the router and add your router there.

For more information, see “How to associate a router with your Linksys

Smart Wi-Fi account” on page 25.

TIP:

Print this page, then record your router and account settings in

the table below as a reference. Store your notes in a safe place.

Setup also saves your setup information as a file to your computer

desktop.
