    Linksys EA6900 setup without CD:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can setup this router using setup CD or you can install it manually too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just like the basic Linksys router, open the set up page using 192.168.1.1<\/strong><\/a>. and configure it manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Connect the modem to Internet\/WAN port on Linksys router. So both computer and modem will be connected to the router with the Cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Linksys
    Connections between router, computer and Modem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of Linksys EA6900 router. Open Internet browser and in the address bar type the number 192.168.1.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It will ask you for the user name and password. If this is a new router then try admin as password. Linksys EA6900 default password is admin<\/strong> , leave the user name blank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If that does not work then you will need to reset linksys router<\/a> and it will come back to factory default settings. Then try admin default password again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once you are able to login then you will see the Linksys EA6900 setup page. Here you can change all the settings manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Change Internet connection settings:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In the left panel, click on “Connectivity” Tab. On this page, you will see all the Internet connection settings for your router. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Click on “Internet Settings” tab at the top on this setup page. Now you need to change the settings according to your Internet service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cable Internet service provider:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    For Cable Internet service provider, Connection type will be “Automatic Configuration – DHCP”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Click “Enable” For “MAC Address Clone”. Select “Clone My PC’s MAC”. Click Apply at the bottom. That’s it for Cable ISP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    DSL Internet Service Provider with PPPoE:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    For DSL ISP with PPPoE connection type, change the Connection type to “PPPoE”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Enter the PPPoE user name and password given by your ISP. Click Apply. That’s it for DSL with PPPoE connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    ISP with Static IP address:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Change the connection type to “Static IP”. Enter the Static IP addresses given by ISP. Click Apply now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Change Wireless Settings.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Once you are done with the Internet settings, you main computer will be able to access internet with wired connection. Now you need to change the wireless settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Click on Wireless tab in the Left Panel. There you will see 2 different wireless networks. 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. So this router will give you 2 different wireless networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can Enable or Disable any one of them if required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Change the Network Name. I will suggest you to use different network names for both the wifi networks so that you can identify them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Enter the password for both the wifi networks. You can keep the same passwords for both the networks. Click on Apply at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now go to your wireless computer and try to connect to the wifi network. You will see your newly created Wifi. It will ask you for the password. Enter the password and get connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Guest Network:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    This router has Guest network feature. Using Guest Network, you can give access to your Guests without entering them to your main Wifi network. So they will access internet through completely separate guest access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the left panel, you will see the option “Guest Access”. Turn it ON. Edit the settings. Change the network name and password for guest access. Keep the name and password completely different from your main Wifi networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That’s it for the Linksys EA6900 setup. You can access Internet on both Wired and Wireless network.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now lets move on to Smart setup using installation program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
