Connect to the Linksys Extender Setup network.
On a computer, phone, or tablet, connect to the Wi-Fi network Linksys Extender Setup.
6.
Launch setup.
Enter http://extender.linksys.com (or try http://192.168.1.1)
in a browser to complete
setup. Be sure to choose “As a wired range extender (access point)” when asked how you
want to use your range extender. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a network
name and password for your access point.
7. Connect your Wi-Fi devices to the extended network you just created.
Select the extended network on your device's Wi-Fi manager. Extended networks are
identified by "_Ext" added to the end of your main network name(s).
Note—If your router’s MAC filtering feature is on you must enter the MAC address of the
extender into the list of the router’s allowed addresses. That will allow the extender, and
devices connected to extended networks, to connect to the main network.
For speed and reliability, the RE9000 uses one of its 5 GHz bands as a dedicated
connection to your router. The MAC address of the extender’s 5GHz band can be found on
the Status > Upstream Network Statistics screen in your extender’s settings. Look for
“Seen by Upstream AP.” The MAC address of the extender’s ethernet port is identified as
Extender Mac Address on the Status > Device Info screen.
Once the extender can access the router, all devices connected to the extender have
access as well.
