If you are having issues setting up the Velop system through the Linksys app, you can use the Velop’s LinksysSmartWiFi.com page to configure your node.
Before you begin:
- Make sure the node is in factory defaults. If not, reset the node to clear any settings that may interfere with the setup. Hold the reset button for 6 to 10 seconds.
- You should be connected to the default WiFi of your Velop or plug an ethernet cable from your node to your computer.
IMPORTANT: This feature is available in firmware version 1.1.1.177892 or above.
