Page 7: Set Up
Set Up IMPORTANT—Mesh 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 WiFi 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 your Atlas 6 tri‐band router. Go to the app store for your device and search for Linksys. Install the app, open it and follow the instructions. Note—The app works with iOS 11.4 and later, and Android 6 and later. You will create a Linksys Smart WiFi account so you can use the app to view or change your mesh system settings from anywhere you have an internet connection. Among the many things you can do with Linksys Smart WiFi: Change your WiFi name and password Set up guest access Connect devices to WiFi 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 WiFi 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. ... - Page 8 Print this page, then record your WiFi and account settings in the table as a reference.

Page 18: Speed Check
Speed Check Run a speed check to make sure you are getting the speeds you are paying for. Speed check also helps in Device Prioritization because results determine how WiFi is distributed to the prioritized devices. Download speed is the rate at which internet content is transferred to your mesh system. Upload speed is the rate at which you can upload content to the internet. Note—Internet connection speeds are determined by a variety of factors, including ISP account type, local and worldwide internet traffic, and number of devices in your home that are sharing the internet connection. ... -

Page 32: How To Restore Factory Defaults
How to restore factory defaults You should never need to factory reset a mesh router—a very disruptive process. A factory reset restores a router to the state it was when you took it out of its box, requiring you to go through the setup process again. All settings you have customized in setup and since – things such as WiFi name, passwords, security type – will be erased. All wireless devices will disconnect from your WiFi. To reset a router to factory defaults: With your node connected to power and turned on, press and hold the Reset button on the bottom. The light on top of the node will turn red and fade in pulses. Do not release the button until the light goes out and then turns bright red. ... -
