Easy And Quick Setup With WPS Button

Now push the WPS button of your router. The WPS function gets enabled. Do the same on the re4100w extender. As you enable the WPS function of both the devices, the synchronisation will start. So wait for the blinking light to turn steady as it will indicate a successful Linksys re4100w setup. At last, detach the extender from its current location and replug it in the middle of the router and the wifi dead zone area.
