For improved performance, you must therefore periodically review and adjust the settings. Initially, modify the wireless configuration via the Linksys re7000 setup page. Adjust the settings to your preference or what is appropriate. Additionally, move the extender to the WiFi dead zone. For a dependable signal transfer, the simple recommendation here is to use wired connections rather than wireless ones.
