Linksys EA-Series

Although running your router’s setup software is the easiest way to set up and 

maintain your router, advanced users may want to manually configure their 

router. Be careful when changing settings using this method.

To manually set up your router:
1.  Connect your router’s power adapter to a power outlet.
2.  Connect an Ethernet cable to the computer and to an available numbered 

Ethernet (blue) port on the back of your router.

3.  Disconnect the cable from the router’s Internet port.
4.  Open a web browser on the computer, then go to 

 www.ciscoconnectcloud.com. (When there is no Internet connection, 

this address re-routes directly to your router.)

5.  Enter admin as the user name, then enter the default password (admin). 

The main menu opens.

6.  After  you  finish  changing  settings,  click  Save  and  close  the  browser 

window.

For descriptions of the settings, click Help at the top of the screen.

Running  Setup  configures  your  router’s  Internet  connection.  However,  for 

some ISPs (Internet Service Providers), especially those outside of the United 

States, you may need to manually configure your router’s Internet connection.

To manually configure your router’s Internet connection:
1.  Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on your router to the 

Ethernet port on your computer.

2.  Disconnect the cable from the router’s Internet port.
3.  Open a web browser on the computer, then go to 

www.ciscoconnectcloud.com. (When there is no Internet connection, 

this address re-routes directly to your router.)

4.  Log into your router using the default router password, admin.
5.  Under Router Settings, click Connectivity. The Connectivity page opens 

to the Basic tab.

6.  Next to Type of Internet Connection, click Edit.
