How to Fix Basic Issues Linksys RE6350 WiFi Repeater

Before checking your range extender at all, it's best to make sure the rest of your home network is functioning properly.

Test your connection using a computer, smartphone, or tablet that is not connected to the range extender. Preferably, it's best to test using a device that is directly connected to your router via Ethernet cable. If this is not possible, use a device that's connected wirelessly to your home's Wi-Fi network.

Clicking this button will open a new guide that will provide you with steps to resolve your issue.

Depending on the problem you're having, different steps may need to be taken to help solve them.

Can't Browse

You can connect your device(s) to your range extender, but you're unable to bring up a web page, email, or other services on the Internet.

Slow Connection

You're able to connect your device(s) to your Range Extender, and you're able to bring up web pages, email, and other services, but the connection seems slow.

No Connection

You're unable to find your Range Extender's Wi-Fi network to connect your device(s) to.

Poor Connection Between Range Extender and Router

The connection between your Range Extender and your wireless router has weak or poor signal, making the connection slow.

Won't Turn On

The Range Extender won't turn on at all.

Wireless signal interference can cause performance issues such as slow or intermittent connections and even complete disconnects. This type of interference can be caused by the presence of:

• Electromagnetic fields created by other electronic devices such as: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capable devices, cordless phones, baby monitors, remote controlled toys, microwave ovens, seasonal lighting, or even garage door openers.
• Structural materials in walls, floors, furnishings or other large objects. The potential for structural materials in your home to absorb wireless signal and cause signal loss or undesirable behavior is as follows:
  
  

  Interference Potential	Type of Material
  Low	Synthetic material, wood, glass
  Medium	Brick, marble, water
  High	Concrete, plaster
  Very High	Metal

To Reduce Wireless Signal Interference Caused by Other Electronic Devices:

1. Temporarily turn off or power down any of the devices listed above, and test your connection.
2. If the issue persists, try physically moving the device having connection problems away from any device(s) that could cause interference, and re-test.

To Reduce Wireless Signal Interference Caused by Other Objects or Structures:

1. Relocate the device having connection problems away from any obstacles, and test the connection.
2. If your range extender or the device having connection problems is set up inside of a cabinet, closet, or other type of enclosure, consider relocating them.

Range extenders are designed to be relocated easily. For this reason, finding and testing alternative locations in your home that may provide better and more reliable signal coverage and be less prone to wireless interference may be the best option.

Finding the most optimal location for your Range Extender in your home is important for both maximizing your signal range and wireless coverage. Your Range Extender has a spot finder during the setup process to help you locate the best location for your device.

You can move your Range Extender from outlet to outlet using the spot finder as a guide for selecting locations that will provide the best wireless performance in your home.

You can also look at the light on the front of the range extender to get a quick at-a-glance idea if it is currently positioned well:

Solid Green

Turned on, with good signal strength.

Solid Orange

Signal is weak from your router to the Range Extender. Move the Range Extender closer to the router.

1. Unplug the range extender from the wall outlet.
2. Wait ten seconds.
   
3. Plug the range extender back into the wall.
4. Wait one minute for the Range extender to start back up fully.
   
5. Make sure your smartphone, computer, or other device has re-connected to your Range Extender's Wi-Fi Network.

The next step in the troubleshooting process is to fully factory reset your Range Extender, and set it back up to ensure correct and proper configuration.

1. Make sure your Range Extender is not on a switched outlet, or that the switch is turned on.
   
2. Test the outlet that's being used with another electrical device, such as a lamp. Make sure the same outlet works.
   
3. Ensure that your range extender has power.
