How to Extend a Wireless Network With a Linksys Router

If you live in a large home, use a wireless network for your business or just have a weak router, the range on the network may be small. Thankfully, there are ways to extend the network. Extending the network will result in stronger Wi-Fi signals and longer range of the network. Many Linksys routers exist, but Linksys also supports ways to create a bigger network without making it necessary for you to purchase a new router.

      Purchase a wireless range extender. You can purchase a Linksys range extender for your Linksys router. Set it up in a place within your home, office or wherever that is in range of the network, and the signal will be reflected to extend the range of the network. It picks up the signal wirelessly. For specific installation instructions, consult the manual that comes with the device.

      Purchase an antenna booster kit. This creates a stronger signal and slightly increases the range of your network. These antennae replace the ones currently on your router.
