Can I change the router's settings wirelessly? Is this a security issue? Can I 'turn off' this function?

Hello Kathy. You can block wireless access to the router's settings by accessing the router's user interface and disabling Access via Wireless. It's under Management and Local Management Access. You can also try changing the router's password (not the wireless password) to prevent attempts to access the settings using Ethernet (wired).

No, but you can "block" any wireless client with the click of the mouse, which accomplishes the same thing, and unblock just as easily.

You can assign a static IP on your devices manually. Just make sure it's within the IP range of the router.

Don't use the reset button. That will reset all the router's settings to default. There is not power button. Disconnect the power and reconnect.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.

The short answer is yes. If your DSL service came with a wireless router already, you will need to talk to your provider about disabling it before hooking this up.

These answers are not correct. You can log into the system settings using the IP address provided and turn off the wireless portion and connect it to an external router.

You can set it up manually depending on the settings from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may also secure or leave the network open for public usage. Here's an article that may help: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=83217d7598ad44d68d9cc60f1cea9887_Different_ways_in_setting_up_your_Linksys_wireless_router.xml&pid=80&respid=0&snid=3&dispid=0&cpage=search

it is not wireless capable on it's own. You connect it to your router with an ethernet cable.

I would say no built in router.I had to program mine to get to my wireless router in my house and open a port for it in the router. I haven't had to deal with my cable company changing my IP address (Dynamic)... so far so good.

Hi Matthew. If you disable the router's DHCP server, it will function as a plain wireless access point and you will have to plug it to an existing router so that devices will be able to get online to the WRT1900AC. You will get the same result if configure the router as a wireless bridge.http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid;=41965db5d1074957b8033a388583dafc_Configuring_the_Linksys_WRT1900AC_as_a_Wireless_Bridge.xml&pid;=80&respid;=0&snid;=1&dispid;=0&cpage;=search

You can turn it off on the router setup page. There is a check box to turn it off.

You don't have to use WPS. You can manually configure both the settings and the name of the router. See Option 2 on page 8 of the manual. Pretty easy to do.

There is an app you can download to help config the device. The instructions tell you how to do it. Once on your wifi network you can use a web browser to further tweak the settings like IP address because it's on a 192.168.8.8 address u have to make sure u change to your networks ip subnet. You only need to worry about this change if you plan on using more than one of theses devices at the same time on the same wifi network. If you don't change they will conflict with each other.

I go into settings and wireless & networks will be the first you see! You should see the WiFi on/off switch! I usually have to turn it on that way

1. The camera is not safe because it can only use http. If you plan to view from outside your home you have to setup port forwarding in your router.2. Yes, username "admin" and password is empty. You should change it right away.3. Yes you can change it.
