LinkSys is a very popular brand of home routers manufactured by Cisco. These may be wireless
routers, DSL routers, and cable routers.
LinkSys routers are fairly simple to setup, even for inexperienced users.
LinkSys Router Setup
Physical Setup of a LinkSys Router:
Even though the different models of LinkSys routers may differ, the general design for setup is very
similar for all of them.
1. Attach the antennas to the router (for wireless routers).
2. Plug the Ethernet cable from your broadband Internet provider’s modem into the port labeled
“Internet” or “WAN” on the Router.
(Note: The “Internet” and other ports are usually located at the back of the Router)
3. Plug another Ethernet cable into one of the available ports (usually numbered 1,2,3,4, etc.).
4. Then plug the other end of this cable into an Ethernet port on your PC.
LinkSys Router Configuration
LinkSys routers now ship with a Setup Wizard which is intended to simplfy basic configuration
tasks.
We do not recommend the LinkSys Setup Wizard for two reasons:
* The Setup Wizard is not significantly easier than the regular configuration menus
* If you use the Setup Wizard, you will end up learning two interfaces for your LinkSys router
instead of just one
The best course of action would be to open your web browser (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer,
etc.) and enter the following URL: http://192.168.1.1/
You will now be prompted to enter your Username and Password.

Once you are past the login screen, you have access to (and can change) a plethora of configuration
options for your router.
Don't be worried by the enormous number and variety of options, your LinkSys router ships with
default settings that enable it to work right out of the box in most environments.
From here the configuration options that you choose are largely up to your own personal pr
