The setting up of the Linksys RE6700 AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender is easy with its browser-based setup feature. The Linksys RE6700 should be plugged into a power outlet. The light is blinking orange before starting the setup process. Using a computer or a mobile device, connect your device to the range extender’s default SSID, which is Linksys Extender Setup – xxx.
This can be found on the label at the back of the device. Open a web browser, then enter “http://extender.linksys.com” or “192.168.1.1” in the Address bar. click on start setup. The As a wireless range extender option will be selected by default upon setting up. Click Next. If your Wi-Fi is also using a 5 GHz band, you should see it with the 2.4 GHz band. If you have a hidden SSID, scroll all the way down the list and click Manually Enter Network Name and Password. Otherwise, wait until it detects your Wi-Fi. Enter your Wi-Fi password in the field, then click on Next. The extended wireless network is the Wi-Fi that your range extender will broadcast for nearby clients to connect to.
