Basically, there are several Linksys 6500 setup approaches available through which you can configure the extender quickly. But, for an easy and short setup process, you must choose its WPS setup method. As this process only requires you to press the WPS buttons from your extender and the existing router if it has any. Because it is the only requirement of this method that your router must be compatible with the WPS feature. So, check this point first and start the process soon by placing both devices closer together. Also, try to check the light indications on both devices as you will only notify about the setup process through their LEDs.

Press the extender’s WPS first to make it ready to connect with the router. Thereafter, press the WPS button from the router and let it make a connection with the extender. Wait for a few minutes and keep checking the LED colors meanwhile. If the LED is blinking it means the process is going on and when that turns solid and stable, the setup process will complete there. You can finally relocate the extender to remove the WiFi dead spots after unplugging it.
