IGNORE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Like everyone else, I burned about 20 minutes to follow the installation instructions and gave up. Contrary to the installation instructions, I could never get the repeater to work with the WPS button. After reading some of the comments I was able to install my extender in a few minutes. Here's how I installed the AC1900 range extender on my Linksys 1900AC router: 1) Plug the extender into an outlet CLOSER to your modem/router (once you set it up it will remember your network so you unplug and plug it in can move to a better place place). range extension later). 2) After connecting, wait until the flashing indicator on the front panel changes color and flashes orange! 3) Now that the orange light is flashing, turn on your computer, go to your wireless network settings and look for the Linksys Extender Setup signal and connect. After your computer is connected to the Linksys Extender. 4) Open a web browser. 5) Type http://extender.linksys.com in the address bar. 6) You are now in the Extender setup application. Just follow the provided instructions. The Linksys Extender finds available networks to join. Choose to join your network from the list of available networks, enter your password and you're done. Once the Linksys AC1900+ Wi-Fi Extender connects to your network, the software notifies you that the installation is complete and the LED on the front of the device turns green. Simply plug the extension cord into a power outlet and the extension cord will automatically connect to your network. Now you can type it. After starting, I really liked the extension cord. The customized app also worked very well for me. Unfortunately, the documentation reads like a stereo guide, and trying to follow it will only leave you frustrated. This is a really useful piece of hardware and once you understand what you need to do installing this extender is very quick and easy! Too bad the documentation isn't as good as the hardware! Only three stars and I think it's generous.

Pros
  • Understandable even for the old man
Cons
  • Expensive
