I was using this router for some time and I recently moved to a new place. So, I wanted to reconfigure the Wi-Fi Mesh System so I reseted my main router which is a Linksys MR8300. The problem is I can't set it up now. I connect to LinksysSetup Wifi and there is internet. Ethernet and power cables are fine. I open the app to configure, it detects my router and checks if there is internet. Then it says connected! and moves to the second screen where it just says please wait without an explanation and there is a thing that spins. I waited at least 1 hour on this screen (I believe it should move to third screen after 4-5 seconds) so there is a problem and I can't figure out what is it. By the way this router doesn't allow you to do the initial setup manually from a web browser by design you have to use the app. When I type in the address for the router admin page it says download the app to set the router up and gives me a QR code to download the app. Also the app is up to date on my phone.

This text is quite challenging to read... Would you like me to break it into paragraphs for easier understanding?

You're correct I wrote it hastily and the formatting wasn't clear. A factory reset was done. Now, as I clarified, setting it up isn't possible.

Disconnect the Ethernet from your modem/wall and begin the setup once more.

I've already attempted it but nothing changed. Appreciate the suggestion, though.
