How to Edit Linksys Settings

Linksys is one of the common router devices used in home and small office networks. A Linksys router ships with a default username and password. The Linksys main console is available from your computer's web browser. After you access the console, you set up the router with the settings that pertain to your network setup. Accessing and changing settings on a Linksys only takes a few steps.

Instructions

1. Open a web browser.

2. Type "192.168.1.1" into the web browser address box and press "Enter." You are connected to the Linksys, and a login box appears.

3. Type the Linksys router's username and password. Older routers have a default blank username and a password of "admin." Newer Linksys routers have a default username and password that are both "admin." Click "Login" to access the administration console.

4. Change the settings for your router. The first window has the very basic, main settings such as DHCP, router IP settings and the router name. To save these changes, click the "Apply" button for the settings to take effect.
