• Setting up the Linksys EA8300 Max-Stream AC2200 MU-MIMO Tri-Band Router is made easy using the Smart Setup wizard which is embedded in the router’s firmware.

  Before you begin:
  Make sure you have a working internet connection from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
  If you are replacing your existing router, make sure to disconnect it and move it out of the way.
  Power OFF your modem and connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the internet port of the router. Then, power ON the modem.
  Connect the power adapter to the router and turn it ON.
  Wait until the Linksys logo light is solid. To know more about the Linksys EA8300 indicator lights’ behavior, click here.
  Step 1:
  Connect a wireless computer, tablet or smartphone to the default Wi-Fi of your router. The Wi-Fi credentials are located on a label at the bottom of the device.

  NOTE: If you need to set up the router using a hardwired computer, connect your computer to one of the numbered ethernet ports at the back of the router.

  Step 2:
  Open a web browser and enter “linksyssmartwifi.com” in the Address bar then press [Enter].

  NOTE: You can also use “myrouter.local” or “http://192.168.1.1” (the default IP address of the router).
