How to Install the Range Extender

Before starting setup, make sure your router has a working Internet connection.

Does your router have a WPS button?

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple way to connect Wi-Fi devices with Push Button Connect.

Routers that support WPS have a button that might be labeled with this symbol:

If yes, continue with Wi-Fi Protected Setup below

If no (or not sure), continue with browser-based setup, also in this user guide.

Note—The WPS button will not work if you have disabled WPS on your router.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

1. Connect antennas and power cable

Antennas should be upright for best results.

Note—Your antennas might look different from those shown.

2. Plug the range extender into an electrical outlet close to your router.

You can move the range extender to an ideal location later in step 5. After the range extender

is plugged in the indicator LED on the top will blink white for up to a minute.

3. Wait for the indicator LED to blink orange before going to step 4.

This can take up to a minute.

4. Extend your 2.4 GHz network.

a. Press the WPS button on your router. Within the next two minutes complete step 4b.

b. Press the WPS button on the back of your range extender.

The indicator LED on the top of your range extender will blink white.

Watch the indicator LED on the front of your range extender to verify whether the

connection was successful.

If it turns solid white, the connection was successful. Move to step 5.

If it starts to blink orange , the connection failed. You may try again by

repeating step 4 or try browser-based setup, also in this document.

5. Extend your 5 GHz network.

You may skip this step if your router does not have a 5 GHz network or if you don't want to

extend that network.

a. Press the WPS button on your router again. Within the next two minutes complete step

5b.

b. Press the WPS button on your range extender again.

The indicator LED on the top of your range extender will start to blink white.

Watch the indicator LED on the front of your range extender to verify whether the

connection was successful.

If it turns solid white, the connection was successful.

If it starts to blink orange before it turns solid white, the connection failed.

You may try again by repeating step 5.

6. Move your range extender to an ideal spot.

Unplug your range extender and plug it back in midway between your router and the area

without Wi-Fi. Using your mobile device or laptop, be sure you have at least two bars (around

50%) of your router’s Wi-Fi signal at that location. If you don’t have two bars, move the range

extender closer to the router.

7. Check indicator LED for connection quality.

It can take up to a minute for the ranger extender to boot up after moving it. During this period

you will see the blinking white LED once again.

Solid white Ready to use.

Solid orange Weak connection to the router. Find an outlet closer to your

router.

Blinking orange Not connected to the router. Find an outlet closer to your

router.

8. Connect your Wi-Fi devices to the extended network you just created.

Select the extended network on your device's Wi-Fi manager. Extended networks are

identified by "_Ext" added to the end of your main network name(s).

Your range extender is now set up. Enjoy your extended Wi-Fi coverage.

Accessing your range extender settings after WPS

Your range extender's default admin password is "admin". It is highly recommended that you change

this after WPS setup.

To change or view range extender settings, first connect to an extended network. In a browser, go to

http://extender.linksys.com and enter your admin password.

Browser-Based Setup

1. Plug in the range extender

Connect the antennas and plug in the range extender midway between your router and the

area without Wi-Fi. Using your mobile device or laptop, be sure you have at least two bars

(around 50%) of your router’s Wi-Fi signal at that location. The setup software will help you

find the right place if you have trouble.

2. Wait for a blinking orange light

It could take up to a minute for the light on the top of the range extender to change from

blinking white to blinking orange.

2. If the light doesn’t change color, or if it is solid orange, reset to factory defaults. (See Using Range

Extender Settings on page

..)

3. Connect to the range extender

On a computer, phone or tablet, connect to the Wi-Fi network Linksys Extender Setup - XXX.

(XXX are the last three digits of your range extender’s MAC address, which can be found on

the bottom of the range extender.)

4. Launch setup

Enter http://extender.linksys.com in a browser to complete setup. Follow the on-screen

instructions to select your network to extend, customize your extended network name and

password, and find the best spot using Spot Finder Technology.

Tips

•The range extender is set to Auto Update by default. Auto Update allows the range extender

to download and install updates overnight. On the License Agreement page in setup you can

deselect Auto Update if you want to manually update your range extender.

•After setup use the extender’s settings interface to change any settings. If connected to your

range extender go to extender.linksys.com.
