If you have installed a linksys WiFi router at your home or in the office, it is important that the connection be secured. You need to ensure that no one is playing around with the router settings or your data can easily be stolen.

But how can one do that? In this blog, we will discuss how to find and reset your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi password by logging in to the linksysmartwifi.com smart setup console.

Finding the Linksys smart wifi login password

Through Linksys Connect

• Launch Linksys Connect on the computer system that was used to set up the Linksys Wi-Fi Router.

• On the Linksys Connect main screen that appears, click on the Router settings.

Through the web-based linksysmartwifi.com setup page

• Launch any web browser on your computer system.

• In the Address bar, type “192.168.1.1” as the default IP address and press [Enter]. If this doesn’t work or if you have changed the IP address of your router, enter the changed one. You can also use the web address linksyssmartwifi.com.

• Enter “admin” in the Password field while leaving the User name field blank. If you have set up a Username and Password for your Linksys router earlier, enter those credentials instead.

• Click Ok when a Warning prompt appears saying, “Using this advanced utility to change your router settings could disable your network”.

• On the Setup page, select Wireless.
