Checking or verifying the router's WiFi settings is crucial for connecting devices to your network, especially if you are uncertain about the current configuration.
 
The WiFi password connects devices to your network, while the router admin password grants access to the router's web interface. Both can be checked or updated through your Linksys cloud account.

• WiFi Security Mode
• Security Key (Password / Passphrase)

 

 

1. Connect your mobile device to the router's WiFi and open the Linksys app.
 

2. Log in to the app.

3. On the dashboard, tap the menu icon and select Wi-Fi Settings.
