Mastering Linksys AX3000 Setup Like a Pro

The Linksys AX3000 is a great equipment. It’s quick, looks good, and can handle high loads like streaming, gaming, and having numerous devices operating at the same time. But just like any other router, it only works properly if you set it up correctly. The following Linksys AX3000 Setup guide will explain everything to you in simple terms, step by step via Linksyssmartwifi.com.

Getting to Know Your AX3000

Before we start setting things up, let’s have a look at what’s in the package. You have:

• The router itself (AX3000, with two antennas sticking out most of the time)
• Adapter for power
• A cable for ethernet
• Guide to getting started quickly

That’s all. No mess that isn’t needed. There are ports on the back of the router. The “Internet” or “WAN” connects to your modem, while the other connects PCs or consoles directly to the LAN.

Before accessing your Linksys router settings, make sure your ISP has provided internet. No matter how clever your router is, nothing will function if your modem is dead.

Step One: Setting Up the Space

• If you have been using a modem, unplug it. Wait a few seconds.
• Reconnect and restart the modem.
• Connect the modem to the AX3000 via Ethernet (modem → router Internet port).
• Plug the router into a wall socket.

Wait for the router to stabilize when the lights flicker.

A constant glow usually signifies it’s ready.

Step Two: Connecting to Linksyssmartwifi.com

This is the most enjoyable part. You can set up the AX3000 using either the Linksys app on your phone or a web browser.

Let’s stay with the browser strategy as the keyword is Linksyssmartwifi.com.

• Link your phone or computer to the Wi-Fi network that is set up by default. There is a sticker on the underside of the router that shows the name (SSID) and password.
• Start a web browser. Put http://Linksyssmartwifi.com in the address bar.
• The setup wizard will start. Don’t worry if you’re not good with technology; it’s a guided procedure.

It will ask you a few questions:

• Pick a name and password for your Wi-Fi. Choose something that is powerful but not so hard that you forget it tomorrow.
• Figure out whether you want visitors to have their own network. This is helpful if you have friends or guests who come over regularly since you can keep them away from your primary gadgets.

Step 3: Sign into Linksys router settings.

After initial Linksys AX3000 Setup, you’ll want to make some changes. Login to Linksys router to do that. Here’s how:

• Type Linksyssmartwifi.com into your browser again.
• Enter the admin account password generated during setup.
• You’re now at the dashboard.

You may do the following from here:

• You may change your Wi-Fi password at any moment.
• Find out what devices are connected.
• Limit your kids’ Netflix time after 10 PM, for example, by using parental restrictions.
• Updating firmware is essential for router safety and reliability.

Once inside, it’s easy. There aren’t too many strange technical phrases on the UI.

Fixing The Glitches

There are always a few “wait, why isn’t this working?” moments during Linksys AX3000 Setup. Let’s talk about some of the common glitches:

• Can’t go to Linksyssmartwifi.com? The site loads intermittently. Try 192.168.1.1 in the browser. The default IP for the router is that.
• No internet after install. Look at the wires. It is suggested that connecting the modem to the Internet/WAN port instead of the LAN. If the issue persists, restart the modem and router.
• You forgot your router’s password. At the rear, there is a button to reset. If you hold it for 10 seconds, the router will revert back to the way it was when it was new. After that, you may start again.
• The Wi-Fi keeps going out. You could want to move the router to a more central part of your house. Metal appliances and walls interfere with signals more than you may expect.

Some Helpful Tips

• Don’t forget to upgrade your firmware. They fix security issues as well as improve performance.
• A strong password. Password should be memorable, easy yet strong and unpredictable.
• Guest network. Protect your primary network.
• Reboots. Restarting the machine every couple of weeks helps wipe it out.
