  1. Setting up the Linksys RE6700 range extender Linksys RE6700 setup involves several steps to extend your Wi-Fi network's range. Here's a general guide to get you started: • Before you begin: • Make sure you have a Wi-Fi router already set up and running. • Prepare a device with Wi-Fi capability (e.g., a laptop, smartphone, or tablet) to configure the range extender. • Step-by-step setup: • Placement: Find a suitable location for your RE6700 range extender. It should be placed within the range of your existing Wi-Fi network but not too far away that it loses signal strength. • Power On: Plug the RE6700 into an electrical outlet. Wait for the power LED to turn solid green. • Connect to the Extender's Wi-Fi Network: • On your device (laptop, smartphone, or tablet), go to the Wi-Fi settings. • Look for the Wi-Fi network named something like "Linksys Extender Setup - XXX" (where "XXX" represents the last three characters of the extender's MAC address). • Connect to this network. • Access the Setup Page: • Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) on the same device you connected to the extender's network. • In the address bar, type "192.168.1.1" and press Enter. • If that doesn't work, try "http://RE6700" or "http://192.168.0.1."

  2. Setting up the Linksys RE6700 range extender • Set Up Your Extender: • You should now see the Linksys RE6700 setup page. Click "Start Setup." • Follow the on-screen instructions to select your Wi-Fi network's name (SSID) from the list of available networks. If prompted, enter your Wi-Fi network's password. • Create an Extended Wi-Fi Network: • You'll be asked to set up an extended Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password for the range extender. You can keep the same name and password as your main router's network or create a unique one for the extender. • Connect to the New Extended Network: • After the setup is complete, the extender will reboot. Wait for the power LED to turn solid green again. • Go back to your Wi-Fi settings on your device and connect to the new extended network you just set up. • Placement Optimization: • For optimal performance, try to place the extender in a location where it still receives a strong signal from your main Wi-Fi router. • That's it! Your Linksys RE6700 should now be set up and extending the range of your existing Wi-Fi network. • If you encounter any difficulties during the setup process, it's a good idea to refer to the user manual or visit the Linksys support website for the most up-to-date instructions.
