How to manually set up your router
Although running your router's setup software is the easiest way to set up and
maintain your router, advanced users may want to manually configure their
router. Be careful when changing settings using this method.
To manually set up your router:
1. Connect your router's power adapter to a power outlet.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the computer and to an available numbered
Ethernet (blue) port on the back of your router.
3. Disconnect the cable from the router's Internet port.
4. Open a web browser on the computer, then go to
www.linksyssmartwifi.com. (When there is no Internet connection,
this address re-routes directly to your router.)
5. Enter admin as the user name, then enter the default password (admin).
The main menu opens.
6. After you finish changing settings, click Save and close the browser
window.
TIP
For descriptions of the settings, click Help at the top of the screen.
