Avoid Overheating Wall-Mounting Placement The router has wall-mount slots on the bottom of each foot for flexibility in mounting the router on the wall. The distance between the slots on the short side is 104 mm. The distance between the slots on the longer side is 210 mm. Two screws are needed to mount the router. Note—Linksys is not responsible for damages incurred by unsecured wall-mounting hardware. Mounting Instructions 1. Determine where you want to mount the router and which side you should use to mount it. Make sure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy. Make sure the location is within reach of an electrical outlet. 2. Before drilling holes, choose the template (short side or long side) that fits your installation. Drill the holes using the correct template. 3. Insert a screw into each hole and leave 4 mm of its head exposed. 4. Position the router so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws. 5. Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the router down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots. Wall-Mounting Template Print this page at 100% size. Place on the wall with desired router position and mark screw locations.

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 blinking (about 10 seconds). Install the router again. • Temporarily disable your computer’s firewall (see the security software’s instructions for help). Install the router again. • If you have another computer, use that computer to install the router again. 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 or Internet 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, but may be named Internet or WAN. 19 • 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 (as opposed to O) 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. • 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 currently have wireless Internet access, the problem may be that you have accidentally connected to a different wireless network. 20 To fix the problem on Windows computers, do the following*: 1. On your Windows desktop, click on the wireless icon in the system tray. A list of available networks will appear. 2. Click your own network name. Click Connect. In the example below, the computer was connected to another wireless network named wraith_5GHz. The wireless network name of the Linksys WRT3200ACM router, Damaged_Beez2.4 in this example, is shown selected. 3. If you are prompted to enter a network key, type your password (Security Key) into the Network key and Confirm network key fields. Click Connect. 4. Your computer connects to the network, and you should now be able to access the router. *Depending on your version of Windows, there could be some differences in wording or icons in these steps. 21 To fix the problem on Mac computers, do the following: 1. In the menu bar across the top of the screen, click the Wi-Fi icon. A list of wireless networks will appear. Linksys Smart Wi-Fi has automatically assigned your network a name. 2. In the example below, the computer was connected to another wireless network named wraith_5GHz. The wireless network name of the Linksys WRT3200ACM router, Damaged_Beez2.4 in this example, is shown selected. 3. Click the wireless network name of your Linksys WRT3200ACM router (Damaged_Beez2.4 in the example). 4. Type your wireless network password (Security Key) into the Password field. Click OK. After setup The Internet appears to be unavailable If the Internet has difficulty communicating with your router, the problem may appear as a “Cannot find [Internet address]” message in your Web browser. If you know that the Internet address is correct, and if you’ve tried several valid Internet addresses with the same result, the message could mean that there’s a problem with your ISP or modem communicating with your router. Try the following: • Make sure that the network and power cables are securely connected. • Make sure that the power outlet that your router is connected to has power. • Reboot your router. • Contact your ISP and ask about outages in your area. 22 The most common method of troubleshooting your router is to turn it off, then back on again. Your router can then reload its custom settings, and other devices (such as the modem) will be able to rediscover the router and communicate with it. This process is called rebooting. To reboot your router using the power cord, do the following: 1. Disconnect the power cord from the router and the modem. 2. Wait 10 seconds, and reconnect the power cord to the modem. Make sure it has power. 3. Wait until the modem’s online indicator has stopped blinking (about two minutes). Reconnect the power cord to the router. 4. Wait until the power indicator stops blinking. Wait two minutes before trying to connect to the Internet from a computer. To reboot your router using Linksys Smart Wi-Fi, do the following: 1. Log in to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See “How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi” on page 13.) 2. Under Router Settings, click Troubleshooting. 3. Click the Diagnostics tab. 4. Under Reboot, click Reboot. 5. Click Yes. The router will reboot. While the router is rebooting, all connected devices will lose their Internet connection, and will automatically reconnect when the router is ready again.
