How to connect directly to your router

You can configure your router by directly accessing it on your home network instead of through the Internet-based Linksys Smart Wi-Fi.

To connect to your router while you are on your home network:

1.Open your computer’s web browser.

2.Go to www.linksyssmartwifi.com and log into your router using the router password you created when you installed your router. (When there is no Internet connection, this address re-routes directly to your router.)

How to improve your wireless connection speed

Follow these tips to improve your network’s wireless connection speed:

•• Make sure that your router is in a good location:

•• For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of your home, and near the ceiling, if possible.

•• Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), or masonry walls.

•• Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic objects), so the fewer obstructions between the router and the wireless device, the better.

•• Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and fluorescent lighting.
