This page explains setup for both Zen Link™ models.
Zen Link™ Setup Steps
V1 only. Make sure you update your Zen Link™ before continuing.
After completing setup, your Zen Link™ will provide both PS5® NATIVE SUPPORT and Wi-Fi support for flashing and configuring GAMEPACKS using your smartphone.
Part 1 — Smartphone App Setup
Plug your Zen Link™ device into your plugged in Cronus Zen™. We recommend plugging it into the A1 (left side) port as that is where it will reside for native PS5® play.

Once CONNECTED, your Zen Link™'s LED will turn BLUE.

Download the Zenlink App from the iOS® App Store or Google® Play Store.
Make sure your SMARTPHONE's Bluetooth® is turned on, and it is connected to the SAME Wi-Fi

The app will automatically find your Zen Link™ via Bluetooth® .

The main "CRONUS ZenLink" screen will appear. You can now use your Zen Link™ for NATIVE PS5® play, or simply for installing and configuring GAMEPACKS on your Cronus Zen™.
