Linksys Dual-Band WiFi 6 Range Extender

It is super smooth and easy to configure a Linksys WiFi 6 range extender device. There are mainly two options for performing the setup including WPS setup and web browser-based setup. In addition to this, you can also utilize the official Linksys app to complete your extender device’s configuration process.

The WPS Linksys WiFi 6 range extender setup process is the quickest and easiest. It just needs one single push on the extender to complete the setup. Here are the steps to perform different Linksys range extender setup processes:

Linksys WiFi 6 Range Extender WPS Setup

The WPS “Push Button Connect” is the simplest way to set up your Linksys WiFi 6 range extender. However, if you want to use this method, the existing WiFi router that you want to extend must support the WPS function. Or else, you cannot make use of this method. You will have to choose the web browser-based or Linksys app-based method.

Here are the WPS “Push Button Connect” setup steps that you need to follow to configure your device:

• Plug in your Linksys WiFi 6 range extender and wait until the light at the front panel of your device turns orange.
• Locate the WPS button on your existing router and then push it.
• Wait for a few seconds and press the WPS button on your range extender within not more than two minutes.
• If the LED on the range extender turns Blue, your device is successfully configured. But, if the light is orange, you should try again or go with the browser-based setup method.
• Repeat the same process to configure another band. If you do not want to configure both bands, you may skip this step.
• If you implemented the last step, you have probably configured both bands. Now, you need to move your device to an ideal location where the network range and signal strength are good.
• Now, you just need to connect your mobile, computer, or any other device that you want to use to the newly set up extender. Then you can enjoy seamless streaming all across your space.

Linksys WiFi 6 Range Extender Web-Based Setup

You can use this setup method if there is no WPS function on your existing router or if you simply don’t want to go with the WPS setup option. This setup method is not as simple as the WPS setup method, but you can carry it out readily by using the following steps.

• Plug your Linksys WiFi 6 range extender into an electrical socket.
• Once the light on the extender turns orange, take your mobile or computer device and connect it to the extender’s WiFi network.
• Next, head to the official Linksys setup portal using the extender.linksys.com or http://192.168.1.1.
• Complete the setup process in the next step by following the instructions you can see on your device’s screen.
• Lastly, connect your device to the newly set up Linksys WiFi 6 extender’s network to use the seamless internet connection at every single corner of your home or office.

Experiencing “can’t connect to the internet,” “setup page error,” “unable to load the Linksys extender setup page,” and “internet connection errors” are very common.

For your convenience, here we have explained a few effective tips to fix different types of WiFi 6 range extender setup errors.

Check the Placement of the Range Extender

The placement of the range extender is crucial for it to function effectively. Make sure it is placed in a central location, away from walls or obstructions that may interfere with the signal. Try moving it closer to the router if you’re experiencing poor signal strength.

Ensure Compatibility With Your Router

Make sure that the range extender you’re using is compatible with your router. Check the documentation or website of both the router and the range extender to ensure that they are compatible.

Reset the Range Extender

If you’re experiencing issues with your range extender, try resetting it to its factory settings. This can often resolve issues related to configuration and settings.

Update Firmware and Drivers

Check the manufacturer’s website to see if there are any firmware or driver updates available for your range extender. Updating these can resolve a number of issues related to compatibility, performance, and security.

Check the Password

Make sure that you have the correct SSID and password for your WiFi network and when you enter it in the required space, there is no typo. If you’re unsure about your WiFi network name and password, try resetting the password on your router and then updating it on your range extender.

Disable MAC Filtering

If your router uses MAC filtering, it may be preventing your range extender from connecting. Try disabling MAC filtering and see if that resolves the issue.

Use a Different Channel

If you’re experiencing interference from other devices, try changing the channel on your range extender. This can often improve signal strength and connectivity.

Use a Wired Connection

If you’re still experiencing issues, try connecting your range extender to your router via an Ethernet cable. This can improve connectivity and speed, especially if you’re using the range extender to connect devices that require a stable and fast connection, such as gaming consoles or smart TVs.
