Hope you have carefully followed all the information and advice's in your Linksys router setup manual? But before anything else, let us ask you a question first. Are your Internets connections are working fine as before? If not, then what you are going to do to fix this issue? Have to switch to Linksys extender or still on the old version of router and the modem? 

Yeah, it is the actual fact that extender Linksys can solve many of your router related problems.

Range extenders that are also known as wireless repeaters expand the internet range coming out of your main router to the far corners of the house. But the condition is your router shouldn’t be overheated, overloaded, outdated during Linksys setup extender process.

Folks! Also, keep this in mind that there would be more than one issue involved linked with your router. So, in that case you are supposed to follow our troubleshooting guidelines given in this post.

Mismatched WiFi Security Settings

Well, the most common cause of wireless network setup issues is incompatibilities in settings between two smart WiFi-enabled devices that will prevent them to built or create a strong and reliable network connection.

In order to make sure that they are compatible with each other, you are supposed to check the following settings on your all smart wireless/ WiFi devices:

Network Mode

Your Linksys WiFi router must be enabled to support all versions of WiFi that are used by the network clients. Routers configured to run in 802.11g mode will not support 802.11n or old 802.11b networking devices.

Fix: Change the router to run in mixed mode in order to fix such kind of network failure.

Security mode

Today, most WiFi devices support multiple network security protocols (WPA and WEP). All WiFi-enabled devices including wireless repeaters belonging to the same local network must carry the same security mode.

Security Key

WiFi security keys are sequences of letters and digits or passphrases. All networking devices joining a network must be programmed to use a WiFi key recognized by your Linksys device. Nowadays, many home network routers or access points support only one key that all devices must share.

On the other hand, newer routers can store numerous WiFi security keys instead of one. However, allowing technically local devices to have different key settings.

MAC Address Restrictions

Nowadays, many routers support an advance and secure feature called MAC address filtering (MAC). Although this is disabled by default, but router administrators can turn this feature on and restrict connections to only certain devices recognize by their MAC address number.

Loose or Disconnected Cables

There are chances that sometimes the router is turned off, or someone in the family unplugs the power accidentally. To fix this issue, make sure that your Linksys router is properly plugged into a wall socket. Moreover, it should be placed nearby the existing modem and both should be connected with each other physically and properly via Ethernet cable.

Overheating or Overloading

Dear users, you are supposed to note down this fact that downloading large files or streaming data for long periods causes your Linksys network router to generate heat. On the other hand, routers will overheat due to the sustained heavy load of malicious files and malware.

Remember, an overheated router will behave unpredictably and also disconnecting devices from the local network eventually.

Fix: Shutting down the Linksys router for few minutes and allowing it to cool down solves the problem definitely. Moreover, place your device on a cool higher shelf.

However, Linksys smart WiFi routers can handle ten or more connected clients. But it is also the fact that if too many devices actively use the network at once, similar overloading and overheating problems can result. To fix this issue, consider adding a second router to the network or a Linksys wireless range extender in these cases to handle the load.
