@@nickscomputerfix I brought a laptop to the site. Good thing I was slightly to far away from the source to get a good connection (-60dbm) but worked just fine after connecting. Might be a tip in my comment somewhere :-)
I have the same problem. Its a piece of crap. Ive spent no less than 8 hours on the phone with tech support. Everytime i talk to them they answer my call in the Philippines., so communication is a bit compromised. I will NEVER buy anything from LinkSys again.
you are skipping some steps here. I am not the only one who can't access the set up page when you just plug in the extender and then connect to the linksys wifi connection. says no internet connection.
Nick, Best video on setting up. For those who want to set their extender up, I watched the video on my desktop while using my laptop to configure the Linksys. I set up all 3 of my extenders in front of the desktop and then move them to their location. Worked well.
I have a new modem with a built in router. Trying to reset up the extender but can't get to the start page I get the page that says connect to range extender setup network I don't know where to go from here
Hola, este dispositivo es mejor que un extensor TP-Link AC750 RE200 por ejemplo? Entiendo que esto funciona conectado sobre un toma de corriente verdad? Y en tal caso sería mejor esto o un Wifi Mesh?? Necesito solucionar mi conexión wifi para que no caiga tanto el ancho de banda al alejarme del repetidor.
My modem is downstairs, and for my room upstairs I don’t lose signal, but it’s not very strong upstairs and I don’t experience full speed. Can I pick this up and just plug it into my room?
Hi hopefully you see this message and have an answer. When i connect the extender to my network the first time it says that my device has been disconnected and i'll have to reconnect. It gives me options for windows 7,8, vista and xp, but nothing for windows 10. I guess it is the same for w10, but when i try to reconnect as it says by "checking the connect automatically" box, it wont connect again. I've tried restarting the process, but same thing happened. Any suggestions?
Hi. Great video. I’m not very technical ... Once I’ve set up the extender, do I use the existing router’s connection and that password? Or do I now use the extender’s connection and password?
@@nickscomputerfix OK quick question for you. Now once You have the extender connection set up do You still connect to the regular router or do You connect to the extender with say my Android Box?
The antennas allow you to adjust the wireless transmitter and receiver to accommodate for your house or building layout. By moving them in a different position you may get a stronger wireless signal.
Hello nick, how long did it take you to do the whole setup? Although the set up indicated that my extender was in the optimal range, it did not connect to my router and kept blinking amber. I'm not very sure what to do as my room as limited sockets around
When you are in setup double check your WiFi password that you are using to connect to your WiFi router. Limited sockets? Have you thought about an extension cord?
I watched your video to find out how to use this as a repeater not and extender. Did I miss something? I don't remember instructions on how to use as repeater. Thanks.
The Extender connects to your primary router/modem and extends your wifi network by repeating your wifi signal out further then your primary wifi router/modem signal can reach.
My router appears to be fine and it glows green, but it won’t pop up on my Xbox or my phone. How can I fix this? I’ve had it for a while and it usually pulses orange when I plug it in before it goes green but now it’s skips orange and hits green. I’ve tried resetting my router but that doesn’t help either. How can I fix this?
Try this: You can reset the extender by using the RESET button (press and hold for 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet with power, then release button and go through the setup again as shown in my video.
Suggest resetting using the RESET button (press and hold for 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet, then release button and go through the setup again as shown in my video.
What i dont get about this if choose the linksys wifi to connect i leave my existing internet provider. Now im connected to linksys's wifi but no connection to the internet to go on the set up page. What am i doing wrong?
sir mr nick, I have att as my internet provider. I'm looking for a good wifi extender such as the one you're displaying here. do you think you can recommend me some of the top wifi extenders you would go to for gaming on like, a playstation/xbox system?
Here's video review I did on another wifi extender. Go to my RUclips channel nickscomputerfix and watch my video production titled: "Netgear n300 WiFi range Extender- Wifi Repeater Setup & reView - WiFi extender for Gaming"
Whenever a Extender no longer wants to cooperate with the network, so to speak, I always do a manual Reset on it via the Reset button. Then go through the setup again.
Good question. Every house or building has a different lay out. Change antenna position and test signal strength. Repeat until you find best antenna position for your house layout.
Thanks for your videos! Having wired ethernet connectors in each of my rooms but the WiFi of my router does not reach them I'd like to put access points in each room (I have 2 of the cheap you reviewed that I use as AP not as a Repeater) for the mobile phones. Which of the repeaters that you reviewed with AP functionality would you recommend me in case I wan to add 5GHz band as well?
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Dwayne Mateo I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
It could be your Spectrum Internet if you have a slow Mbps speed plan from Spectrum ISP. It could also be that the Extender is to far from your primary wifi router/modem. Try moving the Extender a little closer to your wifi router/modem.
when first choosing the extender wifi to get on the internet, which password do I enter? The one for my original wifi or the one you created for the extender? Thank you.
To perform a Extender reset: 1) Press the RESET button (press and hold for a REAL 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release the RESET button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video. 2) Also when setting it up, it's important to double check that you are using the correct wifi password to connect to your router/modem with the Extender during set up or you will not be able to make a connection to your new WiFi Extender or you will get no Internet connection message.
You can reset the extender by using the RESET button (press and hold for 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet with power, then release button and go through the setup again as shown in my video.
You most likely will need to perform a repeater reset again by using the RESET button (press and hold for a real 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release the RESET button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video. Also try moving the Extender closer to where your router is located while setting it up, then you can move it if you need to. Also when setting it up double check that you are using the correct wifi password to connect to your router with the Extender during setting it up.

When you switch ISP Internet Service Providers and/or get a new internet WiFi router/modem, you will need to do a repeater reset by using the RESET button (press and hold for a REAL 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release the RESET button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video.

My problem is that I m losing connection very often. I need to restart it very often.
1) Try a different wall outlet. 2) You might need to move the Extender closer to your WiFi router.

The video is great. Can I use the ethernet port on the bottom to connect a hard-wired computer?
Absolutely, and thanks for your nice feedback.
Does this work for mobile hotspot? Can I extend my mobile hotspot with this? If that makes sense

Thanks for the video Nick. Can I just set it up using the WPS button?
Yes, you can if your router/modem is configured/enabled to allow WPS connections. If not, the method in my video is best.
@@nickscomputerfix Thanks

Best to locate it somewhere mid way between your computer and your Primary Wireless router for best signal quality.

Hi Nicks
It is difficult to see the address from the video, could you add in the new page the address will be helpful
Thank you hard t
Simple. To the point and fast to set up. Thanks for the video, much appreciated sir.
Glad it helped
Quick question for You. Is there a place where You could plug in an Ethernet Cable then plug it into say an Apple TV Box or Android Streaming Box?
Yes. There is an Ethernet port on the Extender that can be used to connect up a wifi device directly with Ethernet cable.
@@nickscomputerfix OK quick question for you. Now once You have the extender connection set up do You still connect to the regular router or do You connect to the extender with say my Android Box?
How does the ac750, ac1200 and ac1900 compare.? There’s not much difference in price on Amazon.
Can I plug it in 220V when I travel internationally?
What do the antennas do? Do you have to move them into a different position or any position in particular?
The antennas allow you to adjust the wireless transmitter and receiver to accommodate for your house or building layout. By moving them in a different position you may get a stronger wireless signal.

helpful but screen should be clear
can I make different password to my repeater? or it should be the same to the main router
It can be a different login password then the one you use for your repeater.
I have a question sometimes the picture blurs why is that? is it the ext? or spectrum?
It could be your Spectrum Internet if you have a slow Mbps speed plan from Spectrum ISP. It could also be that the Extender is to far from your primary wifi router/modem. Try moving the Extender a little closer to your wifi router/modem.
@@nickscomputerfix thank you I'll try those

Can you be able to use this at college?
Yes.
How do I reset it I pressed the button but it still is not working
It needs to be plug into AC wall outlet and powered up. Depress reset button for a real full 10-12 seconds.
Can I create a new red name and password? Using this wifi extender?
How can I set it up on my iPhone?
You can use iphone internet explorer sierra.
Is it good for gaming though? I can only get a moderate connection for my Xbox one
Many people use it for different game box connections. The results will vary depending on your house obstacles (walls and floors).
