The setup process is simple and there are two different ways that you can follow for the installation.
Installation Via WPS Button
Most users prefer the quick Wifi protected setup method. For this Linksys RE6300 setup method there is one thing which is non-negotiable. It is that your router must feature a WPS button. If it does, then these are the steps that you need to follow for the successful setup:
Hunt out the electrical outlet which is nearest to your router. Upon finding it, push the RE6300 extender into it. Thereafter turn on the power supply.
Wait for the front panel indicator to turn green. Once its green head to the next Linksys RE6300 setup step.
Click the WPS button of your router. As you do so, the WPS light will glow up and start to flicker. Now without taking a single moment, immediately push the RE6300’s WPS button as well. The extender's status light will also start flickering green. This means the syncing has started.
The sync completes when the light turns stable green. Now if you have a router that supports 5GHz band then to extend its signals, just repeat the above steps once again.
Finally, you can now relocate the extender more strategically. Just place it in an area where the router’s signal drops to 50 percent. This spot must be halfway from the wifi dead spot. For effective signal transmission, keep all sorts of metal and electronic items away from the extender and do not try to hide the device behind any object.
Configuration Using Web Browser
The second method through which Linksys re6300 setup can be done requires use of a web browser. The step-by-step guidance for it is as follows:
Deploy the RE6300 in the middle of the router and the area where wifi connection drops.
Now power on the extender and let it boot up.
Up next, take a smart device. Go to its wifi settings and enable wifi. With this the list of all nearby networks will open up. You have to connect to the network “Linksys Extender Setup_XXXX”.
If you are facing any problem with the wireless connectivity then you can use the alternative. For this you need an Ethernet wire. Now slip one end of the wire into the smartdevice's ethernet port and other end into the Linksys RE6300.
Moving forward, now launch an internet browser for further Linksys RE6300 setup. You can launch any of your favourite browsers like chrome, firefox, safari, edge, internet explorer and more.
Then head to the browser's URL blank and into this fill up login address. It is extender.linksys.com. Then push the enter key.

Once the setup is done, do not forget to test the connectivity by pairing your device to the newly extended network.
Solutions For Various Setup Issues
Although the setup process is simple and completely user intuitive, due to the unpredictable nature of technology, you might come across one or the other issue. So here are the fixes for the same:
First up, if the default network of the Linksys extender isn't showing up then you can fill in the details manually or you can reboot the extender as well as your smart device once.
