An increasing number of mobile devices, entertainment electronics, and connected appliances are now used on the average home network. More and more people need a wireless solution at home, one that is both easy to use and powerful. This means that home routers must evolve to accommodate these needs, and Linksys plans to lead this innovation.

The security of the network and protecting user data is always our top priority. NONE of the router settings are stored in the Linksys cloud account - they still remain on the router and only the username and password are stored to allow for remote connectivity. We take your security very seriously and have gone to great lengths to ensure your information and connected home devices are safe and secure.

Communication with the cloud is encrypted and secure. Both your web browser and the router establish connections to the Linksys cloud account infrastructure over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the same security you use when connecting to online bank accounts. Linksys cloud account connections to the router are managed using Transport Layer Security (TLS), a secure bi-directional tunnel for information similar to SSL.
