Check These Tips To Get Good Speed On Linksys Extender

 The Linksys extender is an easy-to-use device, but many people face some errors in its working. All this is because of the technical errors on the setup part of the Linksys extender. So, keep your eyes on it to check the reasons and solutions for the extender. 

How Do Extenders Work As A Bridge?

The extender works by receiving the existing WiFi signal from a router and then amplifying and rebroadcasting it to create a larger coverage area.        The term bridge simply justifies itself as the connector of two paths. Here also it works like a link between the two separate networks. This configuration needs the extender to be put between the range of the primary router.


The other extender is then placed within the range of the first extender and connects to it wirelessly. This creates a bridge between the two networks, Which allows devices on each network to communicate through a single network. When this is done, you will need to set up the extender to connect to the primary router's network.


However, using the extender as a bridge can affect the performance of the extender badly. It may also add latency to the bandwidth and reduce the availability of the bands. In most cases, we recommended using the same manufacturer for the optimization of the performance. Linksys re6700 Setup can help to solve this problem.


However, we can provide general instructions on how other factors can have an impact on the network. 


The Building Structure Can Impact The Network

Building structures can affect your network signals. The network system will work very slowly when the network signals will go through the floors and walls. Repositioning the extender after the installation is very necessary. 

  • Connect the devices to a power outlet. In the beginning, make sure you have the green power LED on the device. 

  • Attach the Linksys device to the WiFi default networks. The name of the WiFi network is SSID in addition to the password. However, the password is mostly written on the back of the extender. 

  • Open a web browser and enter the default IP address of the Linksys extender (usually 192.168. 1.1.) into the address bar.

  • If we talk about the most common password/username it is usually admin/password or admin/admin.

  • Once you're logged in to the Linksys RE7000 setup, go to the Wireless settings section and choose your preferred wireless network name (SSID) and password for your extended network. 

  • You can also select the advanced settings as per your needs. Also, save the settings at the same time and wait for the extender to reboot.

  • Once the extender ends up rebooting, attach the computer or mobile to the extended network. 

  • However, use the new SSID and password.

Sharing The Same Network With High-Traffic Devices

It is not important that we should only use the internet when we are on the WiFi network of the device. There could be almost 100 users on the same Linksys RE6400 setup network. But, one network might fail to give an internet connection to the entire house. They will only get high speed when they are near the router. 

Interruptions From Outside

There are instances when outside equipment or outside waves coming inside your building can interfere with the Wi-Fi connection. If you do not want to hamper the connection between the Wi-Fi extender and the router. Primarily keep Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, microwave ovens, and baby monitors. Run the 2.4GHz frequency channel at a far place. So that there could not be any interruption to the channels. 

An Outdated Firmware 

The old firmware may always set the internet speed back. The settings of the old version will not match the new one. Update your devices on time always. As this is also a machine and needs polishing every so often. Go to the Linksys RE6400 setup page and get the latest firmware version of the extender. 

Browser Reset Is Necessary 

  • Close all browsers and reopen them. Try visiting a website or two. Just make sure you run using a different browser if memory is choked switch to Mozilla Firefox or Edge.

  • Go to Chrome, download the file and open it in the panel, and at last, delete it. 

This information will help you to find the main errors with your router and extender. The extender is the primary device that connects your router
