Velop Simple Setup in the Web UI

Setting up the Linksys Intelligent Mesh router is easy through the Linksys app. However, if during the initial setup you encounter any issues, below are the steps to proceed with the setup through the parent node's web browser.

Scenarios where setting up through the web browser is useful:
  • The Linksys app is stuck on connecting to the node
  • The Linksys app is stuck on finding the modem
  • The Linksys app is stuck on looking for the node
  • You cannot change the WiFi name (SSID) or password in the Linksys app
  • You encountered an error when changing the WiFi name in the Linksys app

Before you begin:
  • You will need a laptop or desktop computer.
  • Close the Linksys app if it is open.
  • Reset the router to clear any settings that may interfere with the setup. Hold the reset button for 6 to 10 seconds until you see one solid red flash, followed by three quick red pulses.
  • Power cycle the modem (some Dynamic WAN connections may require it).
  • Connect the modem to the router using an ethernet cable and leave the router powered ON.
NOTE: Some nodes can be set up by connecting any ethernet port on the node to the modem. Once the node is set up, the port used will become a fixed internet (WAN) port. If the modem is plugged into the other port (which is now a fixed LAN port), the node will not have internet access and will have a solid red light. To fix this, switch the modem over to the other port and check if the node’s light turns solid blue.

Directions


Step 1:
Power ON the router and wait until the light is solid purple.

NOTE: While the settings are saving, you will lose WiFi connectivity temporarily.

Step 8:
The light on your router will start to flash and then turn solid blue.

Step 9:
Check if your new WiFi name is broadcasting and connect to it.

Step 10:
Once connected to the new WiFi name, you will now see Your Master Node is now Configured message.

Step 11:
The router is now online and ready to use and you can go to the next step. If the light is not solid blue and you are not online, you can try the following:

  • Power cycle your modem. The router’s light should turn solid blue after a few minutes.
  • If you use a PPPoE connection, you will need to enter your internet settings manually. Go to the Internet Settings tab, click Edit, and choose PPPoE. Enter your PPPoE information then click Save. Wait for the light on the node to turn solid blue.

Step 12:
Do you have additional nodes to add?

a. Yes - Power ON your child node, wait until the light is solid purple, then click on Add Wireless Child Nodes and wait for the child node’s light to turn solid blue.

NOTE: For wired nodes, connect your nodes to the parent node with an ethernet cable, wait until the light is solid purple, then click on Add Wired Child Nodes. When the child nodes have a solid blue light, click Ok.

b. No - If you do not have any other child nodes to add, go to the next step.

Step 13:
Change the admin password if you haven’t done so. It is highly recommended to change the default admin password. This can be useful if the Linksys cloud is down and you need to log in to the router locally.

Click on the Basic tab, click Edit, enter your new admin password, and click Ok.

Your network is now set up. You can now connect all your wireless devices to your WiFi.
