Setup your Linksys wifi extender via the WPS feature

The WPS Based setup is also known as Wi-Fi Protected Setup. This feature can work only on one device at a time. The WPS button is at the front of your Linksys router. But, on your Linksys wifi extender, the WPS is on the back panel. Many routers and range extenders have no WPS feature. The main task of this WPS button is that it functions according to the network security standards. It also makes your connections fast with the router and the other wireless device. You should follow the below-illustrated steps:

• Make sure that your Linksys smart wifi extender setup is connected correctly to the router.
• Connect your Linksys extender to an electrical power outlet.
• And then, wait for a few seconds when the power LED on your Linksys extender setup turns to solid blue.
• Now press the WPS button present at the back or side panel of your device.

Important Note: – When you set up your Linksys extender login page without the web address extender.linksys.com, place your home Wi-Fi router and wireless extender in the same room or area.
