1. 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.”
Windows 7 and Windows 8 will ask you, “Do you want to set up your network?” Click
the link, “Connect to network without setting it up.”
3. If setup doesn’t start automatically, open a browser to http://extender.linksys.com
TIP
You can also connect the range extender by using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. For more
information, see “Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup” on page 7.
