This article will teach you how to set up the Linksys SPNMX42CTF-UK for Connect Fibre ISP.

Before you begin
 

• The node must be connected directly to the Connect Fibre equipment. Connect Fibre requires traffic to go through a VLAN ID. If the node is connected to an upstream network device other than the ISP’s equipment, it will not detect any traffic.  Connecting the node to an upstream router is not supported.
• The router supports Automatic Setup via Connect Fibre’s Auto Configuration Server (ACS) feature which means that once the router is plugged into Connect Fibre’s equipment, it will self-configure itself. Do not use the app, wait until the node has a solid blue light.
• Default SSID is Connect_Fibre_xxxx where xxxx is the last four digits of the MAC address 
• Admin password - Once the parent node has an internet connection, the default admin password will automatically change to the default WiFi password located on the product label.

Directions

1. Power ON your node and connect an ethernet cable to the internet port in the router and the other end to your Connect Fibre equipment. A solid purple light on the node indicates that it is ready for the setup.  

2. Wait a few minutes.  The indicator light will go from solid purple to blinking white, indicating that it is configuring itself. Once the light is solid blue, the node is online and ready to use. 

3. You can now connect your clients to your new WiFi. The WiFi credentials are located on the product label.


4. After the node is online, you can then link your network to your Linksys cloud account. To manage the node with the Linksys app, make sure to connect your mobile device to your WiFi.

You can also connect your computer to the default WiFi name and log in using www.linksyssmartwifi.com. 

5. Download the Linksys app. For an Android™ device, click here. For iOS devices, click here. 

6. Launch the Linksys app and tap on Manage Your Wi-Fi.

7. Either enter your existing Linksys cloud account credentials then tap Log in or tap Create an account and follow the on-screen instructions.

8.Tap Add to Account when prompted.



9. Enter the default router password or if you have customized the password, enter that instead. Then, tap Add to Account again to complete the process.

The default admin password is the default WiFi password located on the product label once the node has an internet connection.



Your network is now linked to your Linksys cloud account.
