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:
• Plug in your router.
To connect to your router with a cable:
• Connect an Ethernet cable to the computer and to an available numbered
Ethernet (blue) port on the back of your router.
• Disconnect the cable from the router's Internet port.
To connect to your router wirelessly:
• Make sure that your computer's wireless networking is turned on.
• Connect to the secure wireless name shown in the Quick Start Guide that came
with your router. (You can change the network name and password later.) If you
need help connecting to the network, refer to your device documentation.
• Open a web browser on the computer, and go to 192.168.1.1 or myrouter.local.
(This address will open your router's firmware when there is no Internet connection.)
• Click I have read and accepted the License Terms for using this software,
read the license agreement, then select the checkbox.
• Select I want to skip Setup and configure my router manually, and click Next.
• If you have a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account, enter your credentials. Create an
account if you haven't already done so. Click Sign In.
• Enter your router admin password. The default is "admin." Click Sign In and
configure your router settings.
• After you finish changing settings, click Save and close the browser window.

HOW TO MANUALLY SET UP YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION

Running Setup configures your router's Internet connection. However, for some
ISPs (Internet Service Providers), especially those outside of the United States,
you may need to manually configure your router's Internet connection.
How to configure basic Internet connection settings:
• Connect to your router and log in using the instructions under "How to manually
set up your router" on this page.
• Under Router Settings, click Connectivity. The Connectivity page will open to
the Basic tab.
• Next to Type of Internet Connection, click Edit.
• Select your ISP's Internet connection type from the drop-down list. Complete the
Optional Settings only if required by your ISP.
