The web interface is a page where you can configure your Linksys router's settings.  The fist step to accessing this page is to check your router's local IP address.  Unless it is changed, your Linksys router's default local IP address (also known as the Default Gateway) is 192.168.1.1.  If you are unable to access your router using this, follow the steps below to learn how to identify the correct local IP address.

Before you begin:

• Use a computer that is connected to your router (either with an ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi).
• If you are using a wired computer, make sure that the ethernet cable is connected properly.  This can be done by checking the light indicators on your Linksys router.
• Identify your computer's Operating System (OS) and its version.  This will help you navigate and select which specific instructions to follow below:
