How to check and update the router

password using your Linksys cloud account

The router password is an administrator password used when accessing the router’s web-based

setup page. The default router password for all Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Routers is admin. However, it

is recommended to personalize your password to ensure that the router is safe from unauthorized

access.

NOTES:

 The router password is NOT the Wi-Fi password. For instructions on changing the basic

Wi-Fi settings using the Linksys cloud account, click here.

 Images of the web-based setup page may differ depending on your router's model number.

 If you forgot your router password, you can perform a hardware reset to restore your router

to factory default settings. However, this also means that your router will need to go through

the reconfiguration process. For instructions on how to reset your router, click here. For
