Problems with the Linksys RE6700

The Linksys extender may stop working under any conditions. Then apply the following problem-solving techniques to resolve the issues.

  • Check the signal light to see if the repeater is malfunctioning.
  • Examine the operation of the router and the internet connection.
  • After a short interval, plug the repeater back in.
  • Bring the repeater and router closer together.
  • Try different locations to minimize signal interruptions.
  • The Spot Finder technique can be used to determine the signal strength between the repeater and the router.
  • If necessary, use the reset button.
  • Manually update the extender firmware to improve performance.
