Install the app, open it and follow the instructions.
Note—The app works with iOS 9.0 and later, and Android 4.1 and later.
During setup you will create a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account so you can use the app to view or change
your router system settings from anywhere you have an internet connection.
Among the many things you can do with Linksys Smart Wi-Fi and the Linksys app:
•
Change your Wi-Fi name and password
•
Set up guest access
Connect devices to Wi-Fi with WPS
•
•
Block internet with parental controls
Test your internet connection speed
•
Note—We'll send you a verification email. While connected to your home network, click the link in the
email to link your router with your account.
Other than plugging in the power and the ethernet cable, the app-based setup process does the work
for you. Once connected, use the app to personalize your Wi-Fi by giving it a name and password. You
also can give your router and any child nodes names based on where they are so you can identify
them in the rare case where things need attention.
If you want to add child nodes to create a whole home mesh Wi-Fi system, set them up within range of
a working node. Only the parent node has to be wired to the modem or modem-router. Don't worry, the
app will help you place your nodes.
