How to configure your router
You can change router settings to make your network more secure or to work
better with a device or game. Being able to adjust the settings while you’re
away from home can help make router administration easier. You can configure
your router from anywhere in the world by using Linksys Smart Wi-Fi, but you
can also configure your router directly from your home network.
Linksys Smart Wi-Fi may be available for your mobile device, as well. See your
device’s app store for information.
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
Your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account can also be used to manage multiple Linksys
routers. For more information, see “How to associate a router with your Linksys
Smart Wi-Fi account” on page 33.
