AX5400 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 standalone router (non-mesh) that uses a non-standard default LAN IP (192.168.79.1) rather than the common 192.168.1.1 — distinct from the Velop mesh SKUs already covered. Linksys's own FAQ: the default IP is 192.168.79.1, and admin is the default username and password.
Factory reset
Press and hold the reset button at the back of the router for 10 seconds, then release — the power light turns off and starts blinking blue as it restores factory defaults.
