the router’s interface.

To ensure you get the best performance from your router 

– Enable Automatic Updates

5

Upgrading the firmware of your router allows you to fully enjoy its complete features. It is especially 

important to update the firmware when installing your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Routers for the first time to 

prevent a notification from prompting when you access some of the router and network settings again. If the 

setup wizard was used to configure your Linksys EA8100 automatic updates will be turned on by default. 

You may, however, choose to manually enable automatic updates by following the steps below.

Enabling Automatic update

Managing your home Wi-Fi with Linksys Smart Wi-Fi is fast and easy:

Step  1:  

When connected to 

the internet, the router 

will be able to detect 

available updates for 

you to apply on your 

device.

Step 2: 

Under the Firmware Update section, check the box to enable the Automatic  

 

firmware update option. Once done, click Apply to save the changes.

Keeping your home router 

updated is a crucial part of not 

just staying secure but to also 

enhance the performance of  

your router. 

Security Features and Fixes

Linksys may issue firmware updates 

to upgrade features such as outdated 

encryption modules or to add entirely 

new security mechanisms that weren’t in 

previous versions of the firmware.

Performance Enhancements

Updating your Firmware can enhance 

your router’s overall performance.  If 

you don’t update your firmware then you 

won’t be able to take advantage of any 

speed boosting upgrades that Linksys 

might have released in an update.

Log in to your Linksys cloud account at  

www.linksyssmartwifi.com.  Once the web 

interface opens, click Connectivity.
