Questionrange extender mode in a Linksys access point SOLVED... nothing to see here... Pin

Hello all,

I've got a Linksys wireless access point n300.

In the instruction manual it states clearly it can work as a range extender and the method is as easy as connect, select the mode, select the router SSID and then insert the password.

I have done all those steps using a crossed cable and plugging the access point directly to a computer (just to configure it). After doing the steps the computer I've used to configure the device gets internet connection which means that at least the AP works as an AP.

If I take the access point to another room far away from the router and keep it unplugged from the LAN cable and plug it again to the current, I can't notice the signal strength to grow a little bit...

Given I've configured it as range extender, shouldn't the signal strength grow?

SOLUTION:
No, the signal strength doesn't grow, another wifi network with the same ssid appears and the devices switch automatically from one network to the other one when one of them disappear...

Thank you all...
