Why do you need to configure the Linksys router?

Learning how to configure the router is a very important part while trying to configure your network. Accessing the web based interface will allow the user to better configure their network that is most suitable to their needs. With the help of these settings, the user will be able to control and manipulate their network in such a way that their network is secure and safe from any unauthorized users. These configurations will allow the user to setup the wireless security on the network, forward ports for different uses, setup the Linksys router manually and more. The user can simply access the Linksys router admin page using www.linksyssmartwifi.com. From there, the user can further configure their network using the simple on screen instructions.

On the admin page for the Linksys router, the user will be prompted for the default credentials. For most of the Linksys routers, the default username and password are “admin” for both the cases. The username and password can be changed later if the user wishes from the router’s admin page. The user can also update the firmware for the router. The firmware is responsible for all the functions regarding the hardware of the router. All the sensitive information of the user passes through the router such as the private information, their emails and passwords, their banking information when they buy something and more. The firmware is also responsible for the security within the router. Updated firmware makes sure that the router isn’t vulnerable to any potential threats and that it stays compatible with the latest media technology. The firmware update also provides overall speed boosts and may even add some new features to the router.

Here, we will help the users in understanding the configurations of the router by providing the detailed step by step instructions regarding the different configuration settings of the router.
