Now the traditional routers can not offer complete coverage because they are built for serving limited square feet of area. But when you pair the router with the Linksys range extender, you can effectively fetch wider wifi coverage and stronger connectivity for all your devices. But to fetch the maximum benefits of the extender, you must optimize the settings through Linksys extender login process. 

So in this particular post we’ll be listing two different methods for logging into the Linksys range extender. Both the methods are super easy and convenient. You can choose to follow any one of them. With no delay, let’s get to the first login method. 

✓ Linksys Extender Login Using Web GUI 

First of all make sure you have all the components for completion of the login process. You require a smart device, accurate login details and lastly an Ethernet wire (optional). 

• Start the Linksys extender login process by pairing your smart device to the extender either via wifi or using ethernet wire. For pairing via wifi you need to first activate the wifi of your device and then use the information that is written on the label of the extender. This label is usually pasted either at the back side of the extender or at the bottom.
• Once connected, launch the internet browser. You can use any browser from internet explorer, firefox, safari, edge to firefox. 
• Thereafter in the address blank of the browser you have to type the login address. You can use two alternatives. One is http://192.168.1.1. The other one is http://extender.linksys.com. 
• As you enter the address, tap on Enter key. On your screen you’ll get the prompt to fill in the login details. Enter the accurate details. By default the username and password both are “admin”. Finally hit on Login and with that you get control of the main dashboard from where all settings can be altered as per your needs. 

Note: 

Although the Linksys extender login process when done via web browser is quite simple and straightforward, sometimes users may encounter some or the other issue. So to resolve the issue you can try a few simple steps. First if the wireless network isn’t showing up in the list of available networks then you can type the details manually. Secondly, you can also reboot the extender as well as your device. Thereafter, if the issue is browser specific, then first check for the pending updates. If found then update the browser. Also clean up browser’s caches and cookies folder. 

Next up, the problem can also be with the smart device. You can use the different device for Linksys extender login process or check for the system update. If found, install that and then do the process. When everything fails, then you can revert the changes through factory reset and then redo the whole process.
