To secure your Linksys extender setup, start by logging into the extender’s web interface via "extender.linksys.com." Use a strong, unique password for your extender’s admin account. Update the firmware regularly to protect against vulnerabilities. Under wireless settings, enable WPA3 or WPA2 encryption for your Wi-Fi network. Disable remote management and UPnP features if not needed. Change the default SSID to something unique and avoid using personal information. Lastly, ensure your main router is also secure to prevent unauthorized access to your network. For detailed instructions, visit the Linksys extender setup guide on the official Linksys website.
