Setting Up: Basics
Linksys EA-Series
Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so
if your wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and
test the signal strength to determine the ideal position.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless
network cards in computers) from older wireless standards to 802.11n. If
a wirelessly networked device uses an older standard, the performance
of the entire wireless network may be slower.
If your router is a dual-band router, split your network traffic so the high-
bandwidth traffic uses the 5GHz band. For more information, see “How
to get the most out of your dual-band router on page 26.
How to change your network’s name and password
You can change the name (SSID) and password of your network, but if you do so,
all wireless devices connected to your router will lose their Internet connection
until you reconnect them using the new network name and password.
To change your router’s name and password:
1.
Log into Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See “How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-
Fi” on page 7.
2.
Under Router Settings, click Wireless.
3.
Click the Wireless tab, then click Edit.
To change the network name, type a new name in the Network name
(SSID) box.
To change the network password, type a new password in the
Password box.
4.
Click OK to apply your changes.
TIP
If you have a dual-band router, each band (2.4 GHz and the 5GHz)
can have a separate network name and password.
How to change your routers local access password
Your routers local access password was set when you ran the router’s setup
software, but you can change it at any time. You need the router password to
change router settings when you don’t have an Internet connection. When you
do have an Internet connection, log into your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account by
following the directions under “How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi” on page
7.
To change your router’s local access password
1.
Log into Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See “How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-
Fi” on page 7.
