TROUBLESHOOTING
After connecting my Linksys MBE70 to my upstream router, the clients connected to the Linksys MBE70 are unable to access the internet. What should I do? The default IP address for the Linksys MBE70 is 192.168.1.1. If your upstream network also uses the 192.168.1.x range, you'll need to change the Linksys MBE70's IP address. Start by disconnecting the internet cable from the router, then access the web interface to modify the settings.
How do I enable SSH Access? To enable SSH Access, go to the System menu and select the SSH Access tab. Review and adjust your settings as needed, then click Save & Apply to confirm. Additionally, you can manage SSH keys by clicking on the SSH-Keys tab and adding a new key if required.
Why aren't my devices detecting the 6 GHz radio (wifi2)?

Make sure your devices are Wi-Fi® 6e compatible to connect to the 6 GHz network. If they are, try renaming the wifi2 SSID for troubleshooting purposes. Additionally, consider either restarting the 6 GHz radio or bringing your devices closer to the router to enhance connectivity. Refer to the Wireless section in the router's interface for detailed WiFi settings configuration.
