Changing your Linksys Intelligent Mesh admin password
This article will help you create or change your router’s admin password through the Linksys app or LinksysSmartWiFi.com page.
NOTES:
- The default password of a Linksys Intelligent Mesh router that has older firmware is admin.
- With the latest firmware, routers that support IMDA no longer use admin as the default password.
- For Airband ISP subscribers, the default administrator password of an unconfigured Linksys node is admin. After you set up the node or it has an internet connection, the default admin password changes to the unique pre-assigned WiFi password located on the product label.
- For Gigaclear ISP subscribers, the default administrator password of an unconfigured Linksys node is admin. Once the node has an internet connection, the password changes to the default WiFi Password (this is case-sensitive) plus the Recovery Key number, located on the product label.
