Creating a Linksys cloud account
What are the advantages of having a Linksys cloud account?
The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi is a free service bundled with the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Routers. This
application allows you to configure your router’s settings locally or remotely over the internet. After
setting up the router, you can create a Linksys cloud account, which you will need to activate and
associate with your router.
Linksys Smart Wi-Fi allows you to access your router remotely to view your home network or
configure your router settings from anywhere as long as there is an active internet connection.
The Linksys cloud account is accessible via a supported web browser or using the Linksys app. The
Linksys app supports Android™ and iOS devices only. You can download the Linksys app from the
Apple® App Store® or Google Play™ store.
