Hi Harvey1010 ,

 

Follow these steps to setup your M6 Pro as modem to your Linksys router.

 

- Plug LAN cable from M6 Pro to WAN/Internet port of your Linksys router.

- Power up the M6 Pro without a battery.  Use the supplied power adapter and cable.

- Power up the Linksys router.

 

If the Linksys router's IP range is set to 192.168.1.x then I recommend you change the IP range on either the M6 Pro or Linksys router to something else to avoid any IP conflicts.  I also recommend putting the M6 Pro into IP Passthrough Mode if you are going to use the M6 Pro permanently plugged into your Linksys router.

 

Regards,
