Your router was not successfully set up
If Linksys Smart Wi-Fi did not complete the setup, you can try the 
following:
 
Press and hold the Reset  button on your router with a paperclip or  
pin until the LED starts flashing (about 10 seconds), then install the 
router again.
 
 Temporarily disable your computer’s firewall (see the security software’s 
instructions for help), then install the router again.
 
 If you have another computer, use that computer to install the router 
again.
Windows XP Service Pack update
On Windows XP computers, Linksys Smart Wi-Fi requires Service Pack 3 in order 
to work. If the currently installed Service Pack is older than version 3, you need 
to download and install Service Pack 3.
TIP
To temporarily connect to the Internet and download the required 
Service Pack, you can use the included Ethernet cable to connect 
your computer directly to your modem.
To install Service Pack 3:
1.  
Connect to the Microsoft Update website (
).
2.  Follow the instructions on the website or contact Microsoft if you need 
further help.
3.  After downloading and installing Service Pack 3, install the router again.
