How to access Linksys Smart Wi-Fi through a web browser

The Linksys Smart WiFi is a free service bundled with the Linksys Smart WiFi Routers. After setting up your router, you can easily access it wherever there is an internet connection by using a Linksys cloud account and associating your router to it.

To avoid any issues with accessing the router using your Linksys cloud account, make sure that the router’s firmware is updated. You may also upgrade a Linksys Smart WiFi Router's firmware manually.

You can access your Linksys Smart WiFi using any of the following:

Local Access
Remote Access

Your Linksys Smart WiFi is accessible via web browsers in Windows®, Mac®, and iPad®. Another option is to access it through a mobile device via the Linksys app. Here are the Linksys Smart WiFi system requirements.
