But to leverage all these features one thing is non-negotiable and that is conducting the errorless Linksys re6400 setup process. In this blog-post we’ll provide you with complete setup details and two different setup methods. So you read the whole post and then decide which one you find easier.
WPS Button: Allows For Quick Setup
The Linksys re6400 setup when done using the WPS button is the least time consuming and super easy.
Start by plugging in the RE6400 extender into a well-working power socket that is closer to the router.
Now power it on and give its power indicator a few moments to turn stable.
Thereafter, locate the WPS button on the host router. As you find it, press it down. The WPS indicator light should blink.
Move ahead and within 120 seconds locate as well as click the WPS button of the RE6400 extender. The front panel indicator should blink.
Finally, wait for the indicators to turn steady. Once it happens, you can rest easy knowing the Linksys RE6400 setup is now complete.
Lastly, you just have to replug the extender in an area where you get not less than 50 percent signals from the router. This area should also be close to the wifi dead spot.
After you repower the extender, check the indicator, if it’s green then perfect, if not then you need to position the extender more strategically.
Web Browser: Allows For Deep Configuration
Wish to do the Linksys re6400 setup in a traditional manner? If yes, then use this particular web based setup method. The steps for it are as follows:
Plug the extender in an area which is both near to the router as well as to the wifi dead spot. After that, power it on. Initially the smart front panel light will blink, so you have to wait for it to turn green.
Now take your smart device. Use anything from cellphone to laptop. Open settings. Enable wifi. As you enable it, a list will open up that contains names of all nearby available networks. From this list, pair the device to the “Linksys Extender Setup_XXX” network.
Moving further, open Google Chrome or any other updated web browser. Go to its URL column. Fill up http://extender.linksys.com. Click enter. You can also use the IP address details. It is http://192.168.1.1.
