The following steps will guide you in setting up your parent node using a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) connection.
Requirements for setup:
- Account credentials for your PPPoE connection from your internet service provider (ISP)
- The latest version of the Linksys app must be installed on your mobile device
Steps and images vary by the device used for setup.
1. Connect your device to your Linksys node then open the Linksys app.
2. You will be prompted to read the Terms and Conditions. Tap Agree.
3. Make sure that the node is connected to your internet source and then tap It's connected.
4. Plug additional nodes into a power outlet near the router. If you don’t have more nodes, skip this step and tap Next.
5. Wait until the light is solid then tap Node light is solid.
6. Setup will check for internet access.
If an internet connection is not detected especially for PPPoE connections or if you have a static IP address, you will be prompted to check your wiring or restart your modem.
If a connection is still not found, you will receive the following screen, tap on the Do you have ISP settings? Enter them here link at the bottom.
7. Tap on PPPoE.
8. Enter the credentials provided by your ISP then tap Next.
Setup will link your account. This can take up to a minute.
9. Personalize your home WiFi by creating a WiFi name and WiFi password. Once done, tap Next.
10. After naming your WiFi, you will be asked to log in to your Linksys cloud account. If you don’t want to use your account, tap Skip for now.
11. The setup process will now configure your WiFi network and connect your device to your Linksys cloud account, usually taking a few minutes. If you want to add a child node, tap Add more nodes. Otherwise, tap Next. You can also add a node later by logging in to your Linksys cloud account.
12. The node will perform a firmware check to verify if your node is up to date. If a new firmware is available, the Linksys app will update automatically.
Your WiFi should now be ready. You can tap on Go to dashboard to manage your network.
