Set Up - Linksys Velop Pro 7 MBE7000 Series User Manual

Set Up

IMPORTANT—Linksys nodes can be set up as parent nodes or child nodes. A parent node must be connected with an
ethernet cable to your modem or modem router. Once set up wirelessly, child nodes can be connected to another node
wirelessly or with ethernet cables.
If you are adding this new node as parent node to an existing Linksys whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system, factory reset all
nodes and add them to the system after the new node is setup and working.
Download the Linksys app. You need this app to set up a Linksys whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system.
Go to the app store for your device and search for Linksys.
Install the app, open it and follow the instructions.
You will create a Linksys account so you can use the app to view or change your system settings from anywhere you
have an internet connection.
Among the many things you can do with your Linksys account:
• 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—During setup we'll send a verification email. From your home network, click the link in the email.
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 nodes names
based on where they are so you can identify them in the rare case where things need attention.
Print this page, then record your Wi-Fi and account settings in the table as a reference. Store your notes in a safe place.
