There is no need to make the process of your Linksys set up overly complicated. To begin with, turn your router on and proceed to use an Ethernet cable to connect it directly to your modem. After that, the power light will be on and the router will be connected, so go ahead and connect your computer or phone to the router's default Wi-Fi network. The next step is to open a web browser and type in linksyssmartwifi.com or 192.168.1.1 to access the built-in web setup wizard.

The prompts on the screen will guide you through the process of accepting the terms of service, selecting your Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password, and setting up your admin login for security. Changes made are to be saved and the new network name is to be reconnected. The setup wizard offers the option of enabling automatic firmware updates as well as registering the router with a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account which will allow the user to manage the router more easily.

This procedure is compatible with the majority of the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi family and it also provides a very good network for your home or office. Below are some helpful tags for you to navigate through related themes and get the troubleshooting steps in case you hard hooked up with the setup.
