I performed a factory reset on the Linksys WRT 1200 AC. I'm attempting to configure it as a repeater, but it won't allow access to the settings without going through its automated setup process. There doesn't appear to be an alternative method without using a plugin to connect it to the modem. This situation could become very frustrating for you.
They likely want to perform the smart configuration steps directly instead of going through the automated process.
It seems the device needs to connect to a network before manual setup can begin.
It seems like you're wondering if the device costs $150 and needs to be connected to a modem before it works.
I performed a factory reset and can't access the system anymore. Everything I try doesn't work. Logging into my account gives no results. The app also fails, regardless of the device or browser. It insists I need to connect to its Wi-Fi, even though I'm already connected and it has internet. Despite plugging in directly with an Ethernet cable, I don't have one available. I've been working on this for about two hours and am almost ready to give up. What's happening?
Use the reset button according to the instructions provided. Additional suggestions for access appear afterward.
Consider pausing and requesting a new Ethernet cable. Make sure to grab a few so it doesn’t happen again. They’re inexpensive.
