How to Use The Wifi Range Extender
Before you start the setup, you need to decide if you want to use your Linksys as a wired range extender (access point) or a wireless range extender. To use your Linksys wifi range extender, here are two ways: as a wired wifi range extender or a wireless wifi range extender.
Wireless range kind of extenders repeats the existing wifi signals whilst the kind of wired range extenders or the access points generate new wi-fi hotspots while connected to an access point or router with an ethernet cable. Certainly, both scenarios require a router with a working internet connection.
When you want to check about the change or view in the settings of your wifi range extender, you need to connect to an extended network first, for example. In a browser, go to extender.linksys.com and enter the admin password. The default password of your Linksys wifi range extenders is admin. You will be asked to change it if you do the browser-based setup.
To change your admin password, click the Management tab of the settings interface and enter your new password under the extender access. You can still access the settings interface when it is connected to your main router even though you do not change the wifi range extender’s default password and name.
So that was a little about Linksys ac3000 review. And here’s a little opinion about Linksys from users: “This router is an upgrade from my previous one which was probably 6 or 7 years old. This thing seems very sturdy and quite strong.
The software is good. It’s great to be able to see all the devices and give them a custom name and icon. I can now stream video back to my room from this router which is live in a closed stereo cabinet with glass doors. This narrow area doesn’t seem to block the signal. Very happy so far.”
