on page 7.
Reset Press and hold for about five seconds to reset to factory defaults. You can also restore
the defaults from the Administration > Factory Defaults screen in the extender’s browser-based
utility.
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.”

3. If setup doesn’t start automatically, open a browser to http://extender.linksys.com.
Linksys’s Spot finder technology will help you find the right location for your range
extender if you have trouble. You will be guided to place the range extender closer or
farther from your router to improve the signal. If you nailed it with your first placement
you will not see Spot finder screens.

4. During setup you will be asked whether you want the range extender to update itself
automatically. If you allow automatic updates, the range extender will download and install
updates when released by Linksys. Automatic updates will take place overnight so they do not
disrupt your network activity.
You also can decide to manually update your range extender at your convenience.

Post set-up LED behavior mention here as well and in the QSG
TIP
You can also connect the range extender by using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. For more
information, see “Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup” on page 7.
How to access the browser-based utility
After setting up the extender use the extender’s browser-based utility to change any
settings.
On a computer or device that is connected to your range extender, open any browser
(Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.), and enter extender.linksys.com in the
address bar.
You will be prompted to enter a user name and password. If you did not change them
during setup, leave the user name blank and enter “admin” in the password field. If
you customized the SSID and password, enter those credentials.
If you are connected to your local network, but not to the range extender, you will need
to enter the range extender’s IP address in your browser to access the extender’s
settings.
TIP
If you are unable to access the range extender’s settings, do one of the following:
Find the range extender’s IP address by going to your router’s administration page and
looking for the range extender under connected devices.

the range extender to the access point or router. Log in to the browser-based utility and
click on WPS in the left navigation bar. Choose from the setup methods below to
connect the extender.
NOTE
If you have an access point or a router that does not support Wi-Fi Protected Setup,
note the wireless settings, and then manually configure the extender.
Connecting with the Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button
Use this method if your router or access point has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup button
1. Press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the extender. If you have a dual-band
router you will do this again to extend the second network. The 2.4 GHz band will
be extended first.
2. Click the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the router’s Wi-Fi Protected Setup
screen (if available), OR press and hold the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the
router for one second. When the connection is complete, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup
light on the extender will be solid.
3. If you used the extender’s Wi-Fi Protected Setup screen, click OK in that screen
within two minutes.
TIP
You can also access WPS in the browser-based utility by clicking WPS in the left
navigation bar.
Connecting with the range extender’s PIN
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN (Personal Identification Number) can be found on the
product label on the back of the extender. You can use this method only if your router’s
administration utility has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup menu.
1. Enter the extender’s PIN into the appropriate field on the router’s Wi- Fi Protected
Setup screen. Click Register. When the connection is complete, the Wi-Fi Protected
Setup light on the extender will be solid.
2. Click OK.

3. Select—To connect to a wireless network, click the button next to the wireless
network name (SSID) in the Select column, and click Connect.
4. SSID—Displays the name of neighboring wireless networks.
5. GHz—Displays the radio band (in GHz) of the neighboring wireless networks
6. Signal Strength—Displays the relative position of the neighboring access points
by indicating the power of the wireless signal received: dot only = 25%, dot + one
wave = 50%, dot + two waves = 75%, dot + three waves = 100%. If no waves are
displayed, your extender is too far from the upstream access point or the signal is
blocked. 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.
To connect your extender with an access point or router in Site Survey, you will
need to know the password or passphrase of the network on that device.
1. Select the network name (SSID) that you want to repeat with your extender by
clicking the corresponding button in the Select column.
2. Click Connect. When prompted, enter the password or passphrase used to secure
your wireless network. The type of security information required in this screen must
match your access point or router’s wireless security settings.
TIP: For dual-band networks, be sure to connect to both bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
3. Click Save. Your extender wireless parameters should be configured. The wireless
interface will restart, and the extender will connect to the access point or router you
have chosen.
