QUICK TIP:  To help you come up with a secure password for your device, you may follow the guidelines listed below.

A unique password must be:

  • At least eight characters in length
  • Any combination of letters and numbers in a random order
  • Any words that are NOT found in the dictionary

Your device’s password has been changed.  You should use the new password next time you access your Linksys wireless bridge or media connector’s web-based setup page.
