A Complete Guide to Setup a Linksys WiFi Range Extender

Linksys WiFi range extender setup is a very easy process if instructions are followed carefully step by step. Linksys signal booster (extender) is the best way to access speedy and uninterrupted internet throughout the home.

Such smart Linksys wireless devices take signals from main WiFi router, amplify them and then spread the signals all over the house– even in dead zones and blind spots also. Simply un-box the range extender, plug it into an electrical outlet and log in to extender.linksys.com.

Tactics for Manually Configuration of Linksys WiFi Range Extender

It hardly takes your time to configure Linksys WiFi range extender setup manually. Just some simple and rose petal steps to follow and you are done.

Before getting started with the setup process of Linksys smart wireless repeater (extender), you are supposed to get the basic information about your main WiFi router such as network channel, SSID or network name, password (security key) etc.

First of all, reset your Linksys device back to default factory settings.

After a couple of minutes power on the range extender.

Once done, connect signal booster (extender) to the computer or a laptop.

Open an up-to-date web browser of your choice and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar field.

If you encounter any problem while accessing setup and login page of range extender, feel free to get technical assistance from our certified experts on 1-844-748-5637 (toll-free). We are an honest and reliable solution partner of Linksys.

For login into the Linksys initial setup page enter the login details (username and password).

As soon as you do this the basic home screen will display.

Here, you have to type in the network name of your main router and choose the manual option.

Turn off the extender. After some time and turn it on again.

Well Done! You have manually done the completion of Linksys smart wireless range extender successfully.

A Quick Tip: in order to make sure that the range extender has been properly set up, access DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) table of the main router and check whether the Linksys device is listed there or not.

In case it is not, then it is requested to call our professionals and discuss all your annoying and brain-teaser queries. They will not only guide you about Linksys extender setup process but also remain connected with you until and unless your device has been set up completely and properly.

An Important Note: DHCP is a network protocol that enables a server to assign an IP address to a computer or laptop automatically from a defined range of numbers configured for a particular network.

Setup and Configuration of Linksys Range Extender via WPS Method

WiFi protected setup (WPS) is the security standard for a wireless home network that is used to make connections between router and smart WiFi-enabled device.

Here, we will provide some feather touch do-follow steps for WPS configuration of Linksys WiFi booster (extender):

Plug in the WiFi extender to shock-proof power source.

Gently press the WPS button on it.

There you will see a WPS LED that indicates the status of Linksys extender.

WPS Light Emitting Diode (LED) will turn to solid amber (orange) showing that the extender is being configured with the main router.

A LED (light-emitting diode) is a semiconductor light source which emits (release) light when current flows through it.

Now, after a gap of a couple of minutes, the WPS LED will become solid green that shows the connection between the extender and smart devices (wired and wireless) is successfully initiated.

If you have a dual-band extender, repeat the steps 1 and 2.

Top Queries Regarding the Linksys Cloud Manager

Linksys Cloud Manager is the next launch of the company, what does this solution consist of and what can it contribute to the wireless connectivity market?

Linksys Cloud Manager is a cloud platform for the management of Wi-Fi networks created for every environments, which helps reduce costs and increase efficiencies. It works with three innovative wireless access points, based on 802.11ac technology, that connect automatically to the cloud and whose configuration can be done remotely (online and offline) before even removing them from the box. The basic requirement is the Linksys Extender Setup. By simply using a mobile device, users can obtain real-time statistics about the state of the network, such as uptime, signal strength or connection duration from anywhere, at any time.    

Briefly, what are its main advantages?

The solution has a very intuitive and easy-to-use control panel, similar to a browser, that allows you to monitor one or several networks remotely. Linksys Cloud Manager is scalable to thousands of access points and sites. Among its main advantages is the cloud license included without additional costs during the first five years, which makes it a very attractive solution for end users and IT providers.       

What does it mean that there is no annual license fee?

As I mentioned before, the cloud license covers an initial period of five years and, once that time has passed, this permit can be acquired again for another five years.

What type of clients are you targeting?

Cloud Manager is designed to meet the wireless connectivity needs of different businesses, from an office to a restaurant or hotel. In the first case, the extender.linksys.com platform allows creating different SSIDs for different user types and limiting the bandwidth consumption in each of them, as well as blocking those who want to access the network improperly. For a restaurant, in addition to offering WiFi connection to visitors, you can separate user networks from those used by connected devices to offer greater access security. Also, in larger spaces, such as hotels, it is possible to know how many users are accessing the network, block users so that, for example, the template does not access the wrong WiFi, prevent bottlenecks,

How does this solution solve security problems? Are you up to date with the latest standards like WPA3?

The Linksys Cloud Manager solution is built on a secure architecture, based on a microserver design that separates data and processes on different servers, thus protecting the cloud even more than if a single server is used. This complicates even more that the network falls down, since, before a possible attack, the cybercriminal would have to know what microservidor must attack and to do it of simultaneous way. In addition, all credentials are encrypted and security and vulnerability audits are usually carried out to ensure that the cloud is adequately protected.  

Even if the cloud goes down, the access points still work. The data shared in the cloud with Linksys is only managed and no real information about the files is stored beyond the Wi-Fi settings.

On WPA3, Linksys plans to support this new security protocol for WiFi networks. Even so, its functionality depends largely on the provider of WiFi chips and, therefore, will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. If the old products are compatible, Linksys will deploy an automatic firmware update in all those enabled devices, although in many cases the adaptation to WPA3 will come through new products and chips. As more progress is made in this area, we will know more details.

Linksys Cloud Manager works with three wireless access points in the cloud based on 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology, why not 802.11ax?

In this case, we have not included the ax standard, since it was not finished when we released our product to the market. If we take into account the estimates of the Wi-Fi Alliance, the mass adoption of 802.11ax technology will come as of 2019.

Are there no similar products in the market? What is your differential point against the competition?

With Linksys, the user does not have to install any software in the cloud, because everything is configured and ready for use, compared to other products such as Ubiquiti Unifi Controller. Neither is it necessary to pay for a hardware controller, virtual server or remote hosting, nor change local DNS settings, and access points can be added easily. Another advantage is its technical support team, free and always available to the client from Linksys Initial Setupto the time services are used. Faced with a popular solution like Ubiquiti Unifi Cloud Key , Linksys provides more scalability to monitor multiple networks. In addition, you do not have to pay for the keys of each LAN that you want to configure or wait to have them to configure a new network. And if we talk about Cisco Meraki, the hardware of the access points Linksys has a lower cost and our offer also includes the license without additional fees in five years, as well as a simple interface that frees the user from having to go through a period of technical learning or, even, the procedures of the Cisco certification.

Finally, in your opinion, what would be the main trends in the wireless connectivity industry for companies?

There is a growing interest on the part of small and medium companies in WiFi as-a-service, in order to prepare their networks for the new digital scenario.  All this will mean that the WiFi managed market will double in the coming years, as some industry studies point out.
