Taking this into consideration, continue reading.

How to Do Linksys Extender Setup without CD?

WPS or WiFi Protected Setup Method

• The Linksys extender setup without CD process can be started by finding a perfect location for the placement of the Linksys extender. An ideal location means that it should not be filled with various transmitting appliances.
• Once you are done doing this, plug your extender into a wall socket and hit a button located on it named power. Make sure that the socket is neither damaged nor short-circuited. Otherwise, you will come across issues.
• Find the WiFi Protected Setup button on the extender and then the router. After this, press both buttons one after the other. Make sure that the button is first pressed on the extender, and then the router.
• Give your networking devices some time to get synced. Once they do, change the location of your Linksys extender and keep it away from metal objects, reflexive surfaces, and thick concrete walls.

Manual or Web Browser Method

• The first two steps in this method will remain the same as given in the previous section. Once you have plugged in and powered on the extender, connect it to the host router with the assistance of an Ethernet cable.
• Switch on your PC and go to the network list. Locate Linksys extender setup-xxx. This is the network name of your extender. Connect your client device to it and hold on for about 30 seconds to gain access to the internet.

• Open a browser and make sure that it is updated. An outdated web browser will take you nowhere. Enter extender.linksys.com in the location bar and press the Enter key to make your way to the following page.
• Select START SETUP > NEXT > AS A WIRED RANGE EXTENDER. Create a WiFi name that you want your Linksys extender to broadcast. It is recommended that you create two WiFi names, one for 2.4 GHz and second for 5 GHz radio bands.
• Once you are done creating a network name, create a WiFi password and then click NEXT. Now, you will be asked to register your product and receive updates. For this, you need to enter EMAIL ADDRESS and click FINISH.

NOTE

It is recommended that you create an easy-to-remember but hard-to-crack WiFi password. We are suggesting you this so no hacker or unauthorized user is able to access your home network without your consent.
