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.
If you still haven’t set up the router, find another computer, and 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. If the
currently installed Service Pack is older than version 3, you need to download
and install Service Pack 3.
NOTE
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
(update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate).
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.

Troubleshooting
Your Internet cable is not plugged in
message
If you get a “Your Internet cable is not plugged in” message when trying to set
up your router, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Make sure that an Ethernet cable (or a cable like the one supplied with your
router) is securely connected to the yellow Internet port on the back of the
router and to the appropriate port on your modem. This port on the modem
is usually labeled Ethernet.

Make sure that your modem is connected to power and is turned on. If it has a
power switch, make sure that it is set to the ON or l position.
If your Internet service is cable, verify that the cable modem’s CABLE port is
connected to the coaxial cable provided by your ISP.
Or, if your Internet service is DSL, make sure that the DSL phone line is
connected to the modem’s DSL port.
If your computer was previously connected to your modem with a USB cable,
disconnect the USB cable.
Install the router again.
Cannot access your router message
To access your router, you must be connected to your own network. If you
have wireless Internet access, the problem may be that you have accidentally
connected to a different wireless network.
To fix the problem on Windows computers:
1.
On your Windows desktop, right-click the wireless icon in the system tray.
The icon can differ depending on your version of Windows.
2.
Click View Available Wireless Networks. A list of available networks
appears.
