Connect Linksys RE4100W range extender to Netgear R7500 router
I just bought a Netgear R7500 router, how do I connect my existing Lindsys RE4100W range extender to it? Thank you.
There’s nothing to be done at the R7500, except perhaps I you have something set up like the Wireless Access List. Otherwise all the setup actions are at the RE4100W;

One more question, please.
Can now able to connect the Linksys RE4100W range extender to the NETGEAR R7500 router whic is dual band. However the extender can only locate (therefore connect) to the router's 5GHz, but cannot locate its 2.4GHz. Please help explain. Thank you.
Well I’m not really familiar with the RE4100W, but I guess that it will only connect to one band at a time when connecting to the base station. Do you see both bands available from the RE4100W for client computers to connect to?
