Linksys extender login steps for a non-configured extender

Moreover, there might be several reasons for logging in to a non-configured extender such as: 

  • The extender is new and you haven’t configured it yet. 
  • You have done a factory data reset on the Linksys extender and want to set it up manually now. 
  • The Linksys extender can”t be connected with the router even after being configured successfully.

Well, it doesn’t matter what the reason is, here are the steps that you need to follow for Linksys extender login on such routers: 

Step 1: first of all, connect the extender to a stable source of electricity and make sure that it is not fused or shot from anywhere. If the extender receives the appropriate amount of power then you will get an indication through the LED light on the extender. The light will turn into the solid green at that time. 

Step 2: The next thing that you need to do is connect your computer with the extender and for that, you will require an Ethernet cable. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the computer and the other one to the extender. You will find a port for this at the sideways of your extender.

Step 3: After that, you need to open up a web browser of your choice in the computer which is connected to the Ethernet cable. After you have opened up a browser, you need to type in the IP address of the extender which by default is 192.168.1.1. 

Step 4: Then you will be able to see a Linksys extender login page where you will be asked to provide the username and the password. Since you haven’t configured the extender yet, you might have not settled up the username and password. In that case, just leave the username input field empty and type in ”admin” in the password field. After you’ve entered the following details, you need to click on the login button. 

After that, you will be successfully logged in to the web-based setup client of your Linksys extender. Note that you might have to go through troubleshooting steps if you face any problem during the login process.
