This article will teach you how to set up the Linksys SPNMX42K9-UK for Kloud9 subscribers in the UK.

Before you begin:
 

• Write down the WiFi name and password (case sensitive) located on the product label.
• Auto Configuration Server (ACS) support - This model supports Automatic Setup, meaning that once the node is plugged into Kloud9’s equipment, and it detects an internet connection, the node will automatically set up itself as a parent node. The light will start to flash in white. Once it has configured itself as a parent, the light will turn solid blue.
• Do not set up the node with the Linksys app, during ACS setup the app will fail to detect the node, wait until the node has finished the process.

Directions:
 
1. Power ON the node and connect an ethernet cable from your Linksys node’s internet port to the Kloud9 equipment.

2. Wait a few minutes, the light will start to flash. After a few minutes, the light will turn solid blue which means that the parent node is online and ready to use. Here is a chart of the node’s light behavior. 

3. You can now connect your wireless clients to your WiFi network. The WiFi credentials are located on the product label.
