Setting up a Linksys router involves connecting it to your modem and power, then connecting your device via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Access the router's configuration page by typing its IP address (often 192.168.1.1) into a web browser. The default username and password are often "admin," but change these immediately for security. Configure your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and a strong password using WPA2/WPA3 or WPA3 encryption. Set up a guest network for visitors. Consider enabling parental controls and QoS (Quality of Service) for prioritizing specific devices or activities. Regularly update the router's firmware for optimal performance and security. Explore advanced settings like port forwarding if needed. After configuration, connect your devices to your secure Wi-Fi network.
