There is no option to bypass the setup wizard, you must complete the setup wizard before making any changes in the web interface.
Before you begin, take note of the following:
- You must use the setup wizard to set up your router, otherwise, the router will not work.
- You can either use a wired computer or a WiFi device (e.g., a laptop, tablet, or smartphone) to set up the router.
- To set up the Linksys E9450-SG for Singtel using a WiFi device, you first need to remember the default WiFi name and password of the router. These are located on the router’s product label. The default WiFi names of the router are Linksysxxxx (where xxxx represents the last five digits of the router’s serial number).
- The Linksys E9450-SG for Singtel that is connected to your ONR/ONT equipment will become your parent node. If you will be extending your WiFi network with additional E9450 models, these are called child nodes.
