Quick And Easy Setup Process For All Linksys Extenders 

Do you want to enjoy full connectivity throughout your home or office space but your router isn't allowing you to do so? If yes, then it is a clear indication to buy a Wi-Fi range extender. A good quality Wi-Fi range extender will remove all your connectivity issues and will provide you with full signals, fast internet speed and seamless connectivity. One of the best networking brands that makes high-performing range extenders is Linksys. They have vast options for every need, so you can select the one that fits your preferences, budget and network needs. So, if you choose to buy from them, here's the common easy and simple setup process for you to get started. We will provide three options for the setup process, so you can choose the one, which is easier and more convenient for you.

Before you begin, the first and foremost step which is common for all methods is to place the range extender in a central location of your home which should be near to your existing router. Connect the router and extender with the help of an Ethernet cable. Plug the range extender into an electrical outlet with the provided power adaptor and switch on the entire setup. Wait for a few minutes, so that all the devices are stable and ready for further setup. Now let's see the different methods. 

Method 1: Setup With Linksys App

✓ First open the Wi-Fi settings of your device, and connect to the extender's wifi network.

✓ The next step is to download and install the Linksys App. If you are an Android user then download from the Play Store and if you are an iOS user then download from the App Store. 

✓ Open the app, create your Linksys account or if you already use the app then login using the set username and password. 

✓ Once you log in just follow the instructions to set up and configure the extender. The app will guide you through selecting your Wi-Fi network and entering the necessary details.

And that's all for the app-based setup. Wasn't it super easy and quick?

Method 2: Web Browser Based Setup

We will use extender.linksys.com for this setup method.

✓ Choose any device, and go to its Wi-Fi settings. In the list of all the available networks look for a network named Linksys, upon finding click on Connect. If there is no name as such then refresh the page and the name will appear automatically.

✓ Now, on the same device open a browser. You can use any  browser like Google Chrome, Edge, Safari or any other of your choice. 

✓ In the address bar of the browser enter extender.linksys.com and press enter. This will take you to the login page. If extender.linksys.com doesn't work then try adding http:// in front or you can also use the default IP address which is 192.168.1.1. 

✓ Once you enter the login page, you have to enter the default login details. The username and password are both admin or sometimes it's admin for username and password for password. So if one doesn't work try the other combination. For accurate details always check the user manual that came along with your specific Linksys Extender model. 

✓ Once you log in successfully, you have to select the name of your current network whose reach you want to extend and enter its password. Now the screen will guide you to complete the whole process, so keep following all the instructions carefully.

✓ Once done, you can now change the extender's settings as per your wish.

That's all for web browser-based setup. We hope you found it easy and straightforward.

Method 3: WPS Method 

One of the easiest and quickest methods to set up Linksys Extenders is using the WPS method. So here's how you can perform this method:

✓ Firstly you need to ensure that your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). 

✓ Now, locate the WPS button on your router and press it. Usually, the WPS button can be found by moving the router upside down. 

✓ Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your Linksys Extender.

✓ As soon as you press the button on the extender the light on it will start blinking to indicate that it is connecting to the router. Once it stabilizes, it means the setup is successfully done. 

Bonus Points To Enhance The Working Of Your Linksys Extenders

Choose a less crowded Wi-Fi channel by visiting the settings of your extender for a better experience.

Regularly check for firmware updates, if found install them immediately for improved performance and better security.

Make sure the place where you have kept the range extender doesn't have any electronic devices or any metal objects as it can disturb the signals of your extender.

Consider changing the default username and password to something difficult and unique so that your network is protected from hackers.

Use Qos settings for Prioritizing bandwidth for critical applications.

BEST WI-FI EXTENDERS FOR 2024

TP-Link RE605X

Best overall Wi-Fi extender

TP-Link makes some of the most popular picks in the range extender category, with a fairly wide variety of options to choose from at various price points. If you're buying one in 2024, I think you should put the TP-Link RE605X right at the top of your list. At $100, it's far from the most affordable extender on the market (keep reading for the value picks), but with a highly capable AX1800 design, full support for the latest Wi-Fi 6 speeds and features, adjustable antennas and a helpful, easy-to-use control app with strong reviews on both Android and iOS, it's about as well-rounded as range extenders get.

The performance is particularly sharp, too. In my tests at the CNET Smart Home, an RE605X in the basement was able to extend the router's signal from upstairs just fine, giving my upload and download speeds a significant boost in every room I tested. Throughout the entire 5,800-square-foot-home, among all the extenders I tested, the RE605X delivered the fastest average upload speeds to both Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 devices, the fastest average download speeds to Wi-Fi 6 devices and the second fastest average download speeds to Wi-Fi 5 devices.

By default, the extender puts out its own separate network when you first pair it with your router, and that network will use the same password as your original network, and the same SSID with "-EXT" added to the end. That's better than extenders that put out an unsecured network by default -- and if you use the app to delete that "-EXT" bit, it'll automatically sync up with your original network and work invisibly to keep you better connected, which is ideal. All of that makes this extender an easy recommendation.

Linksys RE7310

A solid second choice for best Wi-Fi extender

TP-Link took the top spot, but the Linksys RE7310 was very close behind it, and would be almost equally as good on most home networks. In the CNET Smart Home, where we have a fiber internet plan with uploads and downloads of up to 150Mbps, the RE7310 returned average Wi-Fi 6 downloads throughout the entire multistory house of 132Mbps. That's only 4Mbps behind that top pick from TP-Link. As for the uploads, Linksys finished with an average whole-home speed to my Wi-Fi 6 test device of 124Mbps. That's only 2Mbps behind TP-Link.

The only thing keeping me from saying that the two finished in a virtual tie is that the RE7310 was slightly less impressive with earlier-gen Wi-Fi 5 devices, particularly with respect to upload speeds. Still, the performance was solid across the board, and strong enough for me to take video calls in the Smart Home's basement dead zones, something I would have struggled with using just the single router I ran my tests on. It's a bit bulky-looking, but the RE7310 is the best Linksys range extender I've tested yet, and it's an especially great pick if you can catch it on sale.

Also, keep an eye out for the Linksys RE7350, which features a nearly identical design and specs. It's currently on sale for $86 less than the RE7310 at Best Buy, which is a pretty good deal given the specs. I haven't tested that variant out just yet, but I'll update this post when I have, and I'll keep an eye out for another sale, too.

TP-Link RE220

The best budget Wi-Fi extender

The TP-Link RE220 was the least expensive range extender during my first run of at-home tests, but that didn't stop it from outperforming everything else I tested at every turn. As Wi-Fi extenders go, it's fast, it's reliable, it works with just about every Wi-Fi router out there and it's easy to use. And, as of writing this, it costs even less than I paid for it initially -- down to less than $20 on Amazon.

Plug it in and press the WPS button to pair it with your home network, and it'll begin broadcasting its own networks on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Both offered steady Wi-Fi speeds throughout my home, including average download speeds on the 5GHz band of at least 75Mbps in every room access point I tested, along with strong upload speeds. The RE220 never once dropped my connection, and its speeds were consistent across multiple days of tests during both daytime and evening hours.

It's a little long in the tooth at this point, and it won't wow you with Wi-Fi 6 speeds, but the strong ease of use and the steady, dependable level of performance it offers mean it's still an absolute steal. It's not as fast as the top models I've tested in the years since, and I haven't had a chance to retest it at the CNET Smart Home just yet -- but it's still a great choice if you want to boost the signal from the Wi-Fi router to a back room that sits beyond the router's reach, but you'd like to pay as little as possible to get the job done.

Asus RP-AX56

Best performance for a Wi-Fi extender (with a big caveat)

TP-Link and Linksys each put in strong performances during this latest round of tests, but it was arguably Asus that led the way with the RP-AX56, a Wi-Fi 6 range extender that retails for just over $100. However, a poor approach to device security keeps me from recommending it.

Let's start with the good. The RP-AX56 finished in a virtual tie with TP-Link for the fastest average download speeds to my Wi-Fi 6 test laptop, and it led all range extenders when I reran my tests with a Wi-Fi 5 iPad Air 2. On top of that, the RP-AX56 delivered the fastest average download speeds to both Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 devices in the CNET Smart Home's basement guest bedroom, which was the most persistent dead zone throughout my tests.

That said, the RP-AX56 requires a bit of futzing. After I first paired it with the router, it put out its own, separate Wi-Fi network with a generic name and no password at all. That's something you'll want to change immediately, but on iOS the 1.5-star reviewed Asus extender app doesn't offer a quick option for changing the SSID and password. Instead, you'll need to enter the extender's IP address into a browser bar and log in using its default admin credentials -- and by the way, those credentials were username: admin and password: admin. So, yeah, you'll want to change those, too.

Once you've done that, you can change the SSID and password to match your router, at which point the extender will work seamlessly within your existing network. Still, that's a pretty low level of default security for a plug-and-play device that most people won't want to futz with at all. I'll keep an eye out for updates on this one -- if Asus makes some changes to the app and to the default settings, the RP-AX56 could jump right up into the top picks.

VPN passthrough functionality

VPN passthrough functionality is a crucial feature for routers in today's interconnected world. It enables VPN (Virtual Private Network) traffic to pass through the router seamlessly, facilitating secure communication between devices on a network and external VPN servers.

Essentially, VPN passthrough allows devices connected to a router to establish VPN connections without any hindrance. This feature is particularly important for users who rely on VPNs to encrypt their internet traffic for enhanced privacy and security.

Here's how VPN passthrough works: When a device within a network initiates a VPN connection, the VPN passthrough feature on the router recognizes the VPN protocol being used (such as PPTP, L2TP, or IPSec) and allows the encrypted VPN packets to traverse the router's NAT (Network Address Translation) without interference. This means that the router doesn't block or restrict VPN traffic, ensuring that the encrypted data reaches its destination securely.

Without VPN passthrough functionality, routers may inadvertently block VPN traffic or fail to properly handle VPN connections, leading to connection errors or dropped packets. This can be frustrating for users who rely on VPNs for accessing geo-restricted content, maintaining anonymity online, or securing sensitive data.

In summary, VPN passthrough is a vital feature for routers that enables seamless communication between devices and VPN servers. By allowing VPN traffic to traverse the router without impediment, VPN passthrough ensures that users can enjoy the benefits of VPNs without encountering connectivity issues.

Router VPN vs device VPN

When it comes to ensuring online privacy and security, many individuals turn to VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) as a solution. However, there's often confusion between using a VPN directly on a router versus installing it on individual devices. Let's delve into the differences between router VPN and device VPN.

A router VPN operates at the network level, encrypting all internet traffic that passes through the router. This means that every device connected to the router automatically benefits from the VPN protection without requiring individual setup. It's a convenient option for securing multiple devices simultaneously, including smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. Additionally, a router VPN can bypass geo-restrictions for all devices connected to it, making it ideal for streaming content from different regions.

On the other hand, a device VPN is installed directly on a specific device, such as a computer or smartphone. While it offers the same encryption and security benefits as a router VPN, it only protects the device it's installed on. This means that each device needs its own VPN subscription and setup, which can be cumbersome if you have numerous devices.

One key advantage of a device VPN is flexibility. Users can choose when to enable or disable the VPN based on their needs. For example, they may want to access local content without VPN encryption or prioritize VPN protection only when using public Wi-Fi networks.

In summary, the choice between a router VPN and a device VPN depends on individual preferences and requirements. If you prioritize simplicity and want all devices on your network to be protected without individual configurations, a router VPN is the way to go. However, if you value flexibility and prefer granular control over VPN usage, a device VPN may be more suitable.

Installing VPN on home network

Installing a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your home network can significantly enhance your online privacy and security. Whether you want to protect your sensitive data from potential hackers or access geo-blocked content, setting up a VPN is a relatively straightforward process that can be done in a few simple steps.

Firstly, you'll need to choose a reputable VPN service provider. Look for one that offers strong encryption, a no-logs policy, and a wide selection of server locations. Once you've subscribed to a VPN service, you'll typically receive login credentials and instructions on how to download their software or app.

Next, you'll need to install the VPN software on your preferred devices. Most VPN providers offer applications for various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Simply download the appropriate software from the provider's website or app store and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

After installing the VPN software, you'll need to log in using the credentials provided by your VPN service provider. Once logged in, you'll usually have the option to connect to a server of your choice. Select a server location based on your preferences, such as one that's geographically close to you for optimal speed or one located in a different country to bypass geo-restrictions.

Once connected, all of your internet traffic will be encrypted and routed through the VPN server, effectively hiding your IP address and making it much harder for third parties to monitor your online activities. You can now browse the internet with peace of mind, knowing that your connection is secure and private.

In conclusion, installing a VPN on your home network is a simple yet effective way to enhance your online security and privacy. By following these steps, you can enjoy a safer and more unrestricted internet experience from the comfort of your own home.

Title: Setting Up a VPN Router: A Comprehensive Guide

In today's interconnected digital world, ensuring the security and privacy of your online activities is paramount. One effective way to achieve this is by setting up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) router. By doing so, you can encrypt all the internet traffic flowing through your home network, safeguarding your data from prying eyes and potential threats. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you set up a VPN router effortlessly:

Choose a VPN Router: Start by selecting a VPN-compatible router. Not all routers support VPN configurations, so it's essential to choose one that does. Popular options include brands like ASUS, Netgear, and Linksys, which offer models specifically designed for VPN use.

Purchase and Install the VPN Service: Subscribe to a reputable VPN service provider that offers router support. Once subscribed, follow their instructions to set up the VPN on your router. This typically involves logging into your router's admin panel and entering the VPN configuration details provided by your service provider.

Configure the Router: Access your router's admin panel through a web browser and navigate to the VPN settings section. Here, you'll need to enter the VPN server information, including the server address, username, and password provided by your VPN service.

Test the Connection: After configuring the VPN settings, it's crucial to test the connection to ensure everything is working correctly. You can do this by connecting a device to your VPN-enabled router and visiting a website that detects your IP address. If the website displays the IP address of the VPN server rather than your actual IP address, the setup was successful.

Secure Additional Devices: Once your VPN router is set up and running smoothly, you can connect all your devices to the VPN network for comprehensive online protection. This includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, and any other internet-enabled devices in your household.

By following these steps, you can establish a VPN router setup that enhances your online security and privacy, providing peace of mind in an increasingly digital world.

Router VPN compatibility

When it comes to ensuring your online privacy and security, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is crucial. However, not all routers are VPN-compatible, which can be a hindrance for users looking to protect their internet activities at the network level.

Router VPN compatibility refers to the ability of a router to support VPN connections directly through its firmware or settings. This means that you can secure all devices connected to the router with a VPN, rather than installing a VPN app on each individual device.

Having a VPN-compatible router offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides protection for all devices in your network, including smart TVs, gaming consoles, and IoT devices, which may not support VPN apps. This ensures that all your internet traffic is encrypted and anonymous.

Moreover, setting up a VPN on a router is usually a one-time configuration, making it convenient for users who want seamless protection without the need for manual connections on each device. It also allows for a wider coverage area, as all devices within the router's range are automatically protected.

Before purchasing a router, it's important to check for VPN compatibility. Not all routers support VPN connections, and those that do may vary in terms of supported VPN protocols and ease of setup. Popular VPN protocols supported by routers include OpenVPN, PPTP, and L2TP/IPsec.

In conclusion, having a router that is VPN-compatible can significantly enhance your online security and privacy. It provides a convenient way to protect all devices in your network and ensures that your internet activities remain private and secure.

VPN client for router

A VPN client for a router extends the benefits of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to all devices connected to the network, offering enhanced privacy, security, and anonymity. By installing a VPN client directly onto your router, you can encrypt all internet traffic passing through it, regardless of the device being used. This is particularly useful for homes or businesses with multiple devices, ensuring comprehensive protection without the need to install individual VPN software on each device.

One key advantage of using a VPN client on a router is the ability to protect devices that do not support VPN installation, such as smart TVs, gaming consoles, or IoT (Internet of Things) devices. Additionally, a router-based VPN client can bypass geographical restrictions, allowing users to access region-locked content on any connected device.

When choosing a VPN client for your router, it's essential to select one that is compatible with your router's make and model. Many leading VPN providers offer guides or dedicated apps for configuring VPNs on various router brands, simplifying the setup process for users.

Security is paramount when selecting a VPN client for your router. Look for features such as robust encryption protocols (such as OpenVPN or IKEv2/IPSec), a strict no-logs policy, and a kill switch function to prevent data leaks in case the VPN connection drops.

Furthermore, consider factors such as server coverage, connection speed, and customer support when evaluating VPN providers. A reliable VPN client should offer a vast network of servers worldwide, fast and stable connections, and responsive customer support to assist with any issues or inquiries.

In conclusion, installing a VPN client on your router offers comprehensive protection and flexibility for all devices connected to your network. By prioritizing security, compatibility, and performance, you can enjoy the benefits of a VPN across your entire digital ecosystem.

VPN router configuration

When it comes to enhancing your online security and privacy, setting up a VPN on your router is a robust solution. A VPN router configuration enables all devices connected to the router to benefit from the VPN encryption and tunneling protocols, adding an extra layer of protection to your internet connection.

To configure your VPN on a router, first, ensure that your router supports VPN connections. Next, access your router's settings through a web browser and locate the VPN tab. Enter the necessary VPN server information provided by your VPN service provider, including the server address, username, password, and any other required details.

Choose the VPN protocol that best suits your needs, such as OpenVPN, PPTP, or L2TP/IPsec. OpenVPN is often recommended for its robust security features and compatibility across various platforms.

Once you have entered the VPN settings, save the configuration and test the connection to ensure that the VPN is successfully set up on your router. You can verify the connection by checking your IP address to confirm that it reflects the VPN server's location, indicating that your internet traffic is now encrypted and routed through the VPN server.

By configuring a VPN on your router, you can protect all devices in your network, including smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, and more, safeguarding your online activities from potential threats and monitoring. Additionally, a VPN router configuration allows you to access geo-restricted content and enjoy enhanced privacy while browsing the web.

VPN router benefits

A VPN router provides numerous benefits for individuals and businesses seeking to enhance their online security, privacy, and overall internet experience. By encrypting all internet traffic that passes through the router, a VPN router ensures that sensitive information remains secure from cyber threats and prying eyes.

One of the key benefits of using a VPN router is the ability to protect all devices connected to the network. This means that whether you are using a computer, smartphone, smart TV, or any other device, your data is encrypted and your identity is safeguarded. This is particularly crucial when accessing public Wi-Fi networks, as it helps prevent hackers from intercepting your data.

Moreover, a VPN router allows users to bypass geographic restrictions and access region-locked content. By connecting to a server in a different location, individuals can enjoy unrestricted access to streaming services, websites, and online content that may be otherwise unavailable in their region.

Furthermore, a VPN router can improve internet speed and performance by reducing latency and optimizing bandwidth usage. This is especially beneficial for gamers, streamers, and remote workers who rely on a stable and fast internet connection.

In conclusion, investing in a VPN router offers a wide range of benefits, including enhanced security, privacy, access to geo-restricted content, and improved internet performance. Whether for personal use or business needs, a VPN router is a valuable tool for safeguarding your online activities and data.
