Checking the wireless settings on a Linksys access point
Checking or verifying the wireless settings on a Linksys access point is important when connecting wireless devices to your Wi-Fi. This is useful if you are unsure of your access point’s wireless settings.
Below are the two important wireless settings on your access point that you will need for Wi-Fi connection:
- Wi-Fi Name (SSID)
- Wireless Security (password or passphrase)
To check your access point’s wireless settings through the web-based setup page, follow the steps below:
Step 1:
Open the access point’s web-based setup page. For detailed instructions, click here. If you are using a Mac® computer to access the web-based setup page, click here.
QUICK TIP: To determine the access point's IP address, you may refer to the router's DHCP client table. For instructions, click here.
Step 2:
On the Setup page, click Wireless and set the Configuration View to Manual.
NOTE: If you have an older access point and the web-based setup page looks different, just go to Setup > Basic Setup then scroll down to the Wireless section. Take note of your SSID then click the Edit Security Settings button to check your security settings.
Step 3:
Look for the Network Name (SSID) under the Basic Wireless Settings section. It is recommended to change it to a unique SSID to easily determine your network.
NOTE: Check the wireless settings of both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (if applicable).
Step 4:
Click Wireless Security and take note of the current Security Mode and Security Key/Passphrase.
Step 5:
Click 
if you made any changes.
