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.
