- Owner's manual
A: You must run the setup routine on the CD that comes with the unit and you must do this from a computer that is connected wirelessly to the network you want to extend. Other than that, very easy to use and pay attention to the signal strength of the router at the place where you plan on plugging in the extender. If the extender is not receiving a good signal, you will not be happy with how the extender performs. An easy way to check wireless signal strength is to download the WiFi Analyzer app for your smart phone or tablet. You can view the signal strengths for both 2.4 MHz and 5 MHz bands. Sorry, haven't seen this app for Iphones or Ipads.
A: Hi, Buzz. Yes, the Linksys RE4100W is compatible with the Linksys routers, including the Linksys EA7500.
A: Yes, Julie. This Linksys RE4100W range extender is compatible with the Linksys E2500 Advanced Dual-Band N600 Router.
Q: Is this compatible with the Belkin N600 DB Router? Model F9K1102v3?
A: Yes, Karen. The range extender is compatible with that router.
Q: Im using a lynksys wireless adapter on computer. Will it help get a better signal to the computer?
A: This extender boosts the wi-fi signal originating from your router. So if it's a weak or non-existent signal that's your issue, then the extender will help/fix the issue. Note that apart from compatibility, it's irrelevant what wi-fi adapter you're using within your laptop. And given that network adapter in your laptop is Linksys, there will be no compatibility issues with the network broadcast from this extender regardless.
A: There's no known issue between the Netgear router and the Linksys range extender. With the proper configuration, the Linksys RE4100W should work with your Netgear router.
Q: I have Verizon DSL (7 mbps) in my 2 bedroom apartment. Will this device boost this? Thank you.
A: Hi, Virginia. If you have a modem/router combo, then yes, the Linksys RE4100W range extender will boost its wireless signal.
Q: I can't get a signal from wireless router to my desktop in my home. Will the Link system help?
A: Depends. Your question gives no indication of why you're not getting a signal. It could be a number of things not least of which is the wi-fi- signal itself. If you can get a signal when you're a few feet away from your router, but not when you move further away, then that would indicate that the wi-fi extender would fix the issue. If however, you're not getting a signal when you're close to the main router, then there is something else wrong (bad or incorrectly setup network adapter in your laptop, trying to use the wrong wi-fi security protocol, etc.).
