The Linksys E8350 doesn’t support Smart Wi-Fi. I went with the second way because to me it is the most straight forward way. Secondly, you can connect directly to the router via the provided LAN cable and navigate to with the username “admin” and password “admin” to set it up. There are two alternatives to setup the router if you don’t own a CD drive.įirstly, you can download the Setup Wizard for PC or Mac from the E8350 Support Page. The router came with a CD for you to run it and set it up, but these days, I am pretty sure many users don’t own a CD drive anymore. ![]() Wi-Fi Button (Enable/Disable Wi-Fi Easily).Linksys E8350 – Bottom Linksys E8350 – Ports By placing it behind, it kinda defeats that purpose. I am not really a fan of this design because the indicator lights are meant to let you know the status of your router easily. The indicators are just located below their respective ports. The indicator lights are all located behind the router where all the ports and buttons are. If you notice there are no indicator lights at the top or in front of the router. Personally, I still prefer the design of the Linksys WRT1900AC Router because it is more iconic. There are holes all over the router to make it well ventilated and that will enable the router’s heat to dissipate easily. The design of the E8350 is pretty nice and functional.

Gone are those days that Linksys is a top consumer brand for router. ![]() Personally, I think Linksys should stop pricing their router so high because at that price point, no one in the right mind will get a Linksys. This is the second router to be priced at S$399 after the Linksys WRT1900AC Router. ![]() The Linksys E8350 AC2400 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router was available from 7th November 2014 at a recommended retail price of S$399 exclusively at Challenger and their online store.
