The first step in setting up a Linksys router is to determine the type of internet service being used. The application offers instructions for both wired internet service and using the smart setup wizard. This ensures that users can easily set up their router regardless of their internet service provider.

Once the router is set up, the application provides guidance on how to check the router's local IP address. This is important for accessing the router's settings and making any necessary changes. The default IP address for Linksys routers is 192.168.1.1, but the application also offers instructions for checking a specific router's IP address.

For security purposes, it is recommended to regularly update the router's admin password. The application includes instructions for doing so, ensuring that the router remains protected from unauthorized access.

In addition to the admin password, the application also provides instructions for changing the wifi password. This allows users to customize their wifi network and ensure that only authorized devices can connect. The application also offers guidance on configuring basic wifi settings, such as network name and security type.

For those looking to expand their wifi network, the application includes instructions for setting up a guest access network and wifi bridge mode. This allows for additional devices to connect to the network without compromising the main wifi network's security. Additionally, the application offers guidance on setting up parental controls to block specific websites, providing a safer internet experience for families.

Lastly, the application offers instructions for installing the Linksys wifi range extender (e1200). This allows users to extend their wifi range and improve connectivity in areas with weak signals. By providing detailed instructions, the application ensures that users can easily set up their wifi range extender and enjoy a stronger and more reliable wifi connection.
