In order to setup a linksys extender, we need to follow some steps:-
- connect your computer with the extender's wifi network
- then open the web browser and type this address:- 192.168.1.1
- now click on start button, and after that it will scan for the wireless network
- select your home network that you want to extend and after that enter the password
- then it will save the settings and once the setup is complete,
- extender is ready to use.
or
we can press and hold the press the wps button from extender for atleast 3 seconds and within 2 minutes we have press and hold the wps button of the wireless router for atleast 3 seconds and then wait for the extender to reboot itself.
and once the extender reboots successfully, we can connect wireless devices with the extender's network.
Some steps you need to follow over here :
1. Connect your computer to the Ethernet port of your range extender using an Ethernet cable.
2. Plug your range extender to the power outlet. Make sure the LED lights are stable.
3. Launch a web browser and enter your router's IP Address or "192.168.1.1" in the Address bar.
4. You will be prompted with a window asking for a username and password. Leave the User Name blank and enter “admin” in the Password field and then, click Log In
5. Click Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings.
6. Set the radio button to Manual then enter your router’s Network Name (SSID).
7. On the Wireless Security section, select the security settings that match your router’s configuration. Enter your Passphrase or WEP Key then click Save Settings.
8. Unplug the power cables of the router and the range extender for 30 seconds. Plug in the router first. Wait for all the lights to be stable then plug in the range extender.
Your range extender should now be in synchronized with your router.
