How to install the range extender
Before setup, unplug or disconnect any range extenders on the network.
1. Plug in the range extender midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi.
Be sure you have at least 50% of your router’s Wi-Fi signal at that point on the device
you will use for setup. The setup software will help you find the best spot if you have
trouble.
2. Wait for a solid light on the cover of the range extender. It could take up to two minutes.
On a computer, phone or tablet, connect to the Wi-Fi network “Linksys Extender Setup.”
• Windows 7 and Windows 8 will ask you, “Do you want to set up your network?” Click
the link, “Connect to network without setting it up.”
3. If setup doesn’t start automatically, open a browser to http://extender.linksys.com

bars=60%, 4 bars=80%, 5 bars=100%. If no bar is displayed, the extender is located
too far away from the upstream access point. Try to keep the signal strength
between 60% and 100% for optimum performance.
7. Security—Displays the mode of security in use by the neighboring APs. If a network
supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup icon is also displayed.
