How to Install the Range Extender

There are two ways to use your Linksys extender: as a wireless range extender or as a wired
range extender (access point). Wireless range extenders repeat existing Wi-Fi signals. Wired
range extenders (access points) create new Wi-Fi hotspots when connected to a router or access
point with an Ethernet cable. Both scenarios require a router with a working Internet connection.
Before starting setup, decide whether you want to use your RE7000 as a wireless range extender
or as a wired range extender (access point). Instructions for both setups are in this user guide.

chosen WEP as your network security type. In either case, continue with browser-based setup on
