Setting up your Linksys SPNMX42HF-UK for Hey!Broadband ISP WiFi 6 Whole Home Mesh System
This article will show you how to set up and configure your Linksys SPNMX42HF-UK for Hey!Broadband ISP.
Before you begin:
- The default WiFi name is Hey!Broadband_xxxx, where xxxx is the last four digits of the MAC address.
- Admin password - Once the parent node has an internet connection, the default password will automatically change to the default WiFi password located on the product label. A node on factory defaults with no internet connection uses admin as the default password.
- Auto Configuration Server support (ACS) - This node supports Automatic Setup via ACS with Hey!Broadband. It means that once the node is plugged into the Hey!Broadband modem, the node will call home and download the internet profile and automatically configure itself. Once the light turns solid blue, the node is set up and online
NOTE: DO NOT try to set up the node with the Linksys app while the node is going through the ACS setup, because the Linksys app will not detect the node. Wait until the node self-configures and the status light is solid blue.
Directions
1. Connect an ethernet cable from your modem's 10GE port to the internet port of the Linksys node.
2. Power ON your node and wait for the status light to turn solid purple, indicating that it is ready for setup. The status light will then begin to flash white, indicating that the node is performing an ACS setup.
3. Wait a few minutes until the status light turns solid blue. This may take a few minutes. Once the status light is solid blue, the router is ready to use.
NOTE: If the status light does not begin to flash in white, check your connection from the Linksys node to your ISP equipment, and make sure both devices are powered ON.
3. Wait a few minutes until the status light turns solid blue. This may take a few minutes. Once the status light is solid blue, the router is ready to use.
