How to install your router

1. To complete setup, you will need a computer to visit http://LinksysSmartWiFi.com in a web
browser.
2. Identify your equipment.
If you have a separate modem and standalone
router, disconnect and remove your old router.
3. Position the antennas straight up and plug in the router to a power source. Make sure the
power switch is in the | (on) position.
4. Connect your router to your modem or modem router. Plug one end of the included internet
cable to the yellow Internet port on your new router. If you have a modem, plug the other end
into the Ethernet (LAN) port on the modem. If you have a modem router, plug into any available
port.
5. Wait until the illuminated Linksys light on the top of your router stops blinking and is solid
white.
6.
Connect to the Wi-Fi name shown in the Quick Start Guide that came with your router. (You
can change these details later.) If you need help connecting to the network refer to your
device documentation at linksys.com/support/ea8300.
Note—You will not have internet access until router setup is complete.
7. Enter http://LinksysSmartWiFi.com in a web browser. Follow the on-screen instructions to
complete your router setup. You also can type 192.168.1.1 in a browser to start setup.
If you have a modem router, leave it
connected.
