Contents Linksys Wireless-N Range Extender
To associate your extender with your known access point or router:
1. Make a note of the SSID and the security passphrase that your access
point or wireless router is actually configured with. This information will
be useful to carry on setup after the site survey is done.
2. Select the network name (SSID) that you want to repeat with your
extender by clicking the corresponding button in the Select column.
3. Click Connect. You are prompted for the passphrase used to secure your
wireless network. The type of security information required in this screen
needs to match your access point or router’s wireless security settings.
4. Enter the passphrase, then click Save Settings. Your extender wireless
parameters should be configured. The wireless interface restarts, and the
extender associates with the access point or router you have chosen.

used on a 5 GHz network. Your RE2000 works on either a 2.4 GHz or
5 GHz network.
You cannot get your extender connected
Check the position of your router and extender
• For first-time setup, you may need to place the extender closer to the
router. After you’ve set up your extender, you can unplug it and move it
to the final location.
• To reduce signal obstructions, you can try alternate locations for the
router and extender.
• Avoid placing the router and extender near metal objects, masonry walls,
and reflective surfaces such as glass or mirrors.
• Avoid placing the router and extender near other electronics that may be
causing signal interference.
If you’re using Wi-Fi Protected Setup to connect
• Wait until the Wi-Fi Protected Setup indicator stops blinking before
trying to make the connection again.
