TROUBLESHOOTING
Plug-n-Play setup is supported when the router is connected directly to a modem for DHCP internet connections. In some situations, such as connecting the router to an existing network, the Plug-n-Play feature may not have been activated, yet the router is online. However, since the Plug-n-Play feature did not activate, the light did not change from purple to solid blue. To address the light situation, here are steps you can follow to change the light to blue.
No. This model does not support Linksys Mesh; it is a standalone router only.
No. This router does not support Linksys cloud services; therefore, the Linksys app is not supported.

Insert a small item into the reset button, such as a paperclip, then press and hold until the light on top of the router turns red, fades, and flashes bright red again to reset the router to its factory defaults (about 15 seconds).
