How to Install the Range Extender
There are two ways to use your Linksys range 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 RE7350 as a wireless range extender
or as a wired range extender (access point). Instructions for both setups are in this user guide.
Setting up as a wireless range extender
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Does your router have a WPS button?
WPS is a simple way to connect Wi-Fi devices with Push Button Connect. Routers that support
WPS have a button that might look like one of these symbols:
If your router has a WPS button, continue with WPS below.
If not, or if you are not sure, continue with browser-based setup on page 10
.
NoteThe WPS button will not work if you have disabled WPS on your router, or if you have
chosen WEP as your network security type. In either case, continue with browser-based setup on
page 10
.
1.
Plug the range extender into an electrical outlet close to your router. You can move the
range extender to an ideal location later
in step 5. After the range extender is plugged in,
the light on the front will blink blue for up to a minute.

2.
Wait for the light on the front of your range extender to blink orange before going to
step 3. This can take up to a minute.
3.
Extend your network.
a.
Press the WPS button on your router.
Within the next two minutes complete step
3b.
b.
Press the WPS button on the side of your range extender.
The light on the front of your range extender will blink blue.
Watch the light to
verify whether the connection was successful.
If it turns solid blue , the connection was successful. Move to step 4.
If it blinks orange , the connection failed. You can try again by
repeating step 3 or try browser-based setup on page 10
.

4.
Extend a second network.
You may skip this step if you have a single-band router or if you don't want to extend a
second network.
a.
Press the WPS button on your router again. Within the next two minutes complete
step 4b.
b.
Press the WPS button on your range extender again.
The light on the front of your range extender will start to blink blue. Watch the light

repeating step 4.
5.
Move your range extender to an ideal spot.
Unplug your range extender and plug it back in midway between your router and the area
without Wi-Fi. Using your mobile device or laptop, be sure you have at least two bars
(around 50%) of your router’s Wi-Fi signal at that location. If you don’t have two bars,
move the range extender closer to the router.
6.
Check the range extender’s light for connection quality.
It can take up to a minute for the ranger extender to start up after moving it. During this
period, you will see the blinking blue light again.

o
Blinking orange Not connected to the router. Find an outlet closer to
your router.
7.
Connect your Wi-Fi devices to the extended network you just created.
If you have setup your range extender with a router that features seamless roaming, 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 your house.
If you do not have a router with seamless roaming, select an extended network on your
device's Wi-Fi manager. Extended networks are identified by "_Ext" added to the end of
your main network names. Passwords will be the same as those for your main networks.
Your range extender is now set up. Enjoy your extended Wi-Fi coverage.

SSIDThe names of neighboring wireless networks.
GHzThe radio band (in GHz) of the neighboring wireless networks
Signal StrengthThe power of the wireless signal received: dot only = 25%, dot
+ one wave = 50%, dot + two waves = 75%, dot + three waves = 100%. If no
waves are displayed, your range extender is too far from the upstream access
point or the signal is blocked. Try to keep the signal strength between 50% and
100% for best performance.
SecurityThe mode of security in use by the neighboring wireless networks. If a
network supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup icon is also
displayed.
20
QoS (Quality of Service)
RE7350 supports WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia), which enhances the quality of service (QoS) on a
network. QoS prioritizes data packets according to four traffic classes: voice, video, best effort,
and background. We recommend keeping the default QoS settings.
Cross-Band
Cross-Band is the simultaneous use of both bands for high-speed data transfer and uninterrupted
streaming and gaming. When in Auto Cross-Band (default), the range extender selects the
appropriate band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) when sending data from wireless clients to the Wi-Fi router.
Access Control
All devices connected to your range extender can access your Wi-Fi network if the range extender
can access the router. Use the Access Control feature to restrict certain devices. On the Wireless
> Access Control screen you can specify the MAC addresses of devices to allow or deny.
