Set Up IMPORTANT—Your MR9000 can be set up as a primary node or a child in a whole home Wi-Fi system. A primary node must be connected with an ethernet cable to your modem or modem-router. Secondary nodes can be connected wirelessly or with ethernet cables. If you are adding the router to an existing Velop whole home Wi-Fi system, factory reset all nodes and add them to the system after your MR9000 is set up and working. Download the Linksys app. You need this app to set up your router.
Install the app, open it and follow the instructions. Note—The app works with iOS 9.0 and later, and Android 4.1 and later. During setup you will create a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account so you can use the app to view or change your router system settings from anywhere you have an internet connection.

Dashboard Dashboard is a snapshot of your Wi-Fi. See how many devices are connected to your system. From Dashboard you can share your Wi-Fi password and turn on guest access. Dashboard also shows you if any devices have parental controls on them or have been prioritized for Wi-Fi access.
Devices View and change details for all devices connected to your Wi-Fi. You can view devices on your main network and your guest network, or display information about each device.
To view or change device details From the Devices screen you can edit device names and change the device icons. You also can prioritize devices, set parental controls, and see Wi-Fi details. Tap on any device to see details.
Wi-Fi Settings View or change your Wi-Fi name and password and connect devices using Wi-Fi Protected Setup™.
Advanced Settings Advanced users can change the default security type and Wi-Fi mode. Do not change these unless you have a lot of experience with Wi-Fi networks. Channel Finder will search for the least populated Wi-Fi channels in your area to ensure you get the best performance from your system. If you have more than one node in your system, Channel Finder will find the best channel for each node.
Connect a Device with WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup allows you to easily connect wireless devices to your Wi-Fi without manually entering security settings.
Guest Access Use your Guest Access to allow guests to get online while restricting their access to other resources connected to your Wi-Fi. Send the password by text message or email.
Speed Check Run a speed check to make sure you are getting the speeds you pay for. Speed check also helps in Device Prioritization because results determine how Wi-Fi is distributed to the prioritized devices. • Download speed is the rate at which internet content is transferred to your router. • Upload speed is the rate at which you can upload content to the internet.
Parental Controls Parental controls allow you to control when your kids are online and what they’re doing there. Pause internet to specific devices, or block specific websites.
Device Prioritization Choose up to three devices for priority usage of your internet connection. Those devices – wired and/or wireless – always will have the best access when connected. Your router runs a speed check to determine how to best distribute Wi-Fi to prioritized devices. Other devices will share the leftover capacity. Prioritized devices appear on Dashboard.
Notifications If you have more than one node, the app can notify you when secondary nodes in your system go offline. Secondary nodes are any that are not wired to your modem. You have to turn on notifications in your mobile device settings to allow the app to notify you.
Router Administration Use the Router Administration screen to change the router password and hint, and check various identifiers (model number, serial number, and IP details) for your router. Opt in to automatically report crashes to Linksys and contribute to improving the Wi-Fi experience. You also can manually report specific issues to Linksys.
The following information will be sent with your description of the issue: • App version • Login Type (cloud: show email address associated, local: display "Router admin") • Device model • WAN Connection type (display Wi-Fi or ethernet) • Device OS version • Time: date (mo/day/year, time, time zone) 24
Advanced Settings Internet Settings You can choose how your router connects to the internet. The default is Automatic Configuration – DHCP. Other connection types depend on your internet service provider or how you plan to use your router. Advanced users can use Additional Settings to clone MAC addresses and set MTU (maximum transmission unit).
Port Settings Port forwarding—for a single port, multiple ports or a range of ports—sends traffic inbound on a specific port or ports to a specific device or port on your Wi-Fi. In port range triggering, your router watches outgoing data for specific port numbers. Your router remembers the IP address of the device that requests the data so that when the requested data returns, it is routed back to the proper device.
Wi-Fi MAC Filters Every network device has a unique 12-digit MAC (media access control) address. You can create a list of MAC addresses, and then allow or deny those devices on your Wi-Fi.

Connect to your WiFi name, launch the Linksys app and tap Log in with Router Password toward the bottom of the screen. You will not be able to access your Linksys Wi-Fi account when not online.
Router password We created a secure admin password during setup. To change it, tap Router Administration and Change Router Password and Hint. To keep your router secure, we'll send you an email if someone changes the router password.
How to factory reset your router You should never need to factory reset your MR9000 router—a very disruptive process. A factory reset restores your router to the state it was when you took it out of its box, requiring you to go through the setup process again. All settings you have customized in setup and since – things such as Wi-Fi name, passwords, security type – will be erased. All wireless devices will disconnect from your Wi-Fi.
