Setting up the Linksys E7350 using the setup wizard

The Linksys E7350 Dual-Band WiFi 6 EasyMesh™ Router lets you enjoy the power of Wi-Fi® technology. It delivers enhanced speed, range, and security for all your networking needs. It features EasyMesh which allows your router to add other Linksys EasyMesh nodes to extend your WiFi and be compatible with other EasyMesh-supported devices.

Before you begin:
 
  • You must have a WiFi device like a computer, tablet or mobile device, or a computer with an ethernet connection to begin the setup.
  • Take note of the default WiFi name and password of your Linksys EasyMesh router located on the label at the bottom part of the router. The WiFi password is case-sensitive.
  • Power ON your modem and connect an ethernet cable from the modem to the internet port of the Linksys EasyMesh router. Wait until the power light is solid blue. If you are replacing an existing router, make sure to disconnect, turn OFF, and remove the old one.
  • EasyMesh tips:
    • If your router is on an older firmware, the EasyMesh is turned OFF by default. It is enabled when you run and complete the setup wizard.
    • A parent node is connected to the modem.
    • A child node is another EasyMesh node that will be used to extend your WiFi.

      NOTE: Make sure the node is on the latest firmware. For instructions, click       here.
    • If you plan to add EasyMesh child nodes to extend your WiFi, you can turn ON the EasyMesh feature. Otherwise, leave it turned OFF.
