LN1100 Series VELOP Micro Router 6
Product Overview
Your Linksys VELOP Micro-Router 6 is a dual-band mesh Wi-Fi router with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios.
SetUp
IMPORTANT—Linksys nodes can be set up as parent nodes or child nodes. A
parent node must be connected with an ethernet cable to your modem or modem
router. Once set up wirelessly, child nodes can be connected to another node
wirelessly or with ethernet cables.
If you are adding this newmodel as parent node to an existing Linksys whole-
home mesh Wi-Fi system, factory reset anodes and add them to the system after
the new node is setup and working. Download the Linksys app. You need this app
to set up a Linksys whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system.
Go to the app store for your device and search for Linksys.
Install the app, open it and follow the instructions.
You will create a Linksys account so you canoes the app to view or change your
system settings from anywhere you have an internet connection.
Among the many things you can do with your Linksys account:
- Change your Wi-Fi name and password
- Setup guest access
- Connect devices to Wi-Fi with WPS
- Block internet with parental controls
- Test your internet connection speed
Note—During setup we’ll send a verification email. From your home
network, click the link in the email.
Other than plugging in the power and the ethernet cable, the app-based setup
process does the work for you. Once connected, use the app to personalize your
Wi-Fi by giving it a name and password. You also can give nodes names based
on where they are so you can identify them in the rare case where things need
attention.

Wi-Fi System Settings
Using your Linksys app, you can view or change your system settings to make
your Wi-Fi more secure or to work better with a device or game. You can access
settings from anywhere in the world if you have an internet connection. You
can also access settings using your router password when
connected to your home network even if you do not have an internet connection.
Login to the Linksys app
- Open the Linksys app.
- Enter the email address you used when creating your account.
- Enter your account password.
- Tap Log in.
Dashboard
Dashboard is a snapshot of your Wi-Fi. See how many devices are connected to
your system, share Wi-Fi password and allow guest access to your Wi-Fi.
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 most-open 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.
Connecta 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 feature 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. 
External Storage
See which node an external drive is connected to, check the amount of free
space left, and enable authentication by setting a username and password.
(Only when a drive is plugged in to a node’s USB port.)
Be sure to tap Eject before removing a drive to avoid losing data. 
Speed Check
Run a speed check to make sure you are getting the speeds you are paying 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 mesh Wi-Fi system.
- Upload speed is the rate at which you can upload content to the internet.
Note—Internet connection speeds are determined by a variety of factors, including ISP account type, local and worldwide internet traffic, and number of devices in your homothet are sharing the internet connection.
Parental Controls
Parental controls allow you to control when your kids are online and what
there 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. The app 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, we can notify you when child nodes in your
system go offline. Child 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.
Network Administration
Use the Network Administration screen to change the admin password and hint,
and check various identifiers (model number, serial number, and IP details)
for all nodes in your Wi-Fi. 
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)
Advanced Settings
Internet Settings
You can choose how your mesh Wi-Fi system 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 system. 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 on your
network. In port range triggering, your router watches outgoing data for
specific port numbers. The router remembers the IP address of the device that
requests the data so that when the requested data returns, itis 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 regulate how devices use your Wi-
Fi.
My Account
Change your Linksys app password and opt in to receive the latest news and
deals from Linksys. 
2-Step Verification
Add allayer of security to your Linksys account by requiring a verification
code delivered to you by email or text when you log in from new device. You
can choose to remember device for 30 days.

Feedback
Here’s your chance to tell us what you think. Rate the app at your app store,

Connect Directly To Your Router
If you are nonconnected to the internet you still can access your mesh Wi-Fi
system. Connect to your ‘Wi-Fi name, launch the Linksys app and tap Log in. On
the next screen, tap the Use Admin Password tab. You will not be able to
access your Linksys account when not online. 
Router Password
‘We created a secure admin password during setup. You won’t be able to log in
with Use Admin Password until you change it. Tap Network Administration and
Change Router Password and Hint. To keep your mesh Wi-Fi system secure, we’ll send you an email if someone changes the admin password.
How to restore factory defaults
You should never need to factory reset your router—a very disruptive process.
A factory reset restores your mesh Wi-Fi system 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.
To restore your router to factory defaults:
‘With your node connected to power and turned on, press and hold the Reset
button on the bottom. The light on top of the node will turn red and fade in
pulses. Do not release the button until the light goes out and then turns
bright red.
