Troubleshooting issues with Linksys RE7350 Setup
You might come across issues with the Linksys RE7350 extender setup page, forcing you to look for ways to resolve them. While you are looking for them online, you can always follow some basic troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
- Always connect your computer/wireless device to the extender’s local network before you access the login page. This is because the setup utility is based on the local device server and will need a connection to the device for access.
- Check if the ethernet cables that you are using are in the best shape and not damaged. If you see any signs of damage on the cables, it is prudent that you change them.
- Always use the correct URL to access the Linksys RE7350 setup utility. You can refer to the correct web address details from the product label on the device. Also, ensure that you are using the correct username and password details for login.

- Try clearing the cache and cookie files on your system browser. Once you have deleted the history and these files, you can restart the browser and try again accessing the login page.
- Power cycle your computer/wireless device and the extender as well. Restarting them will clear the cache memory. You can try accessing the login page again and setting up your network.
If you continue to face issues with the Linksys RE7350 extender setup process, you can restore the device settings to factory default. Doing so will delete the previous configurations and put the device back in the factory stage. You can then proceed with the reconfiguration process.
