NOTE: When you move around your home, your wireless devices may not disconnect from the
router until they lose Wi-Fi signal. This may occur even if the Wi-Fi signal from the Linksys RE9000
is stronger (and vice versa). If you are having connection issues, select the Wi-Fi with stronger
signal.
6. Does the Linksys RE9000 support DFS Channels?
No, the Linksys RE9000 does not support DFS Channels.
My Linksys RE9000 is not detecting my Wi-Fi during setup
Scenario: My Linksys RE9000 is not detecting my Wi-Fi during setup.
The Linksys RE9000 MU-MIMO Range Extender uses a dedicated 5 GHz band as the backhaul
(uplink) connection to a Dual-Band router. If your Linksys RE9000 is unable to see the 5 GHz
network, here are things you can check (in the following order):
You must have a dual-band router
Make sure that the 5 GHz band on your wireless router is enabled, working and
broadcasting.
If the extender is too far away, try to move the extender closer for setup. After setup, you
can move it to another location.
The Linksys RE9000 does NOT support Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels. If
your router supports DFS channels, it is possible that your router is using a DFS channel;
therefore, the extender will not detect the 5 GHz band.
NOTE: DFS channels are 52-64 and 100-140. You can contact support for the wireless router to
confirm if the router supports DFS channels and if it is using one of the DFS channels. If it does,
they need to change the router’s 5 GHz channel to a non-DFS channel and then run the setup again
on the Linksys RE9000.
Setting up the Linksys RE9000 to Range Extender mode
The Linksys RE9000 MU-MIMO Range Extender can be set up in two ways, through Range
Extender mode or Access Point mode. This article will show you the steps on how you can set it up
on Range Extender mode.
Before you begin, make sure to have the following:
An existing Dual-Band wireless router or access point (5 GHz band is used as the dedicated
backhaul connection)
A computer or tablet with Wi-Fi capability
