Note—If you are not connected to your range extender's setup network you will get a
page alerting you that you haven't connected to the extender. The page will ask whether
you are trying to set up a new range extender or access settings on a range extender you
already set up.
Sometimes you will get a "404 Not Found" error page. If that happens, clear your browser
cache and try again.
5. Connect your Wi-Fi devices to the extended network you just created.
If you have set up your range extender with a Linksys Max-Stream router, you don't have
to do anything. Max-Stream routers support seamless roaming, and your extended Wi-Fi
network shares the same network name and password. Connected devices will select the
main or extended network as you move around the coverage area.
If you do not have a router with seamless roaming, select the extended network on your
device's Wi-Fi manager. Extended networks are identified by "_Ext" added to the end of
your main network name(s). Passwords will be the same as those for your main network(s).
