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...

Your description is a little confusing.
Normally, you would place the extender somewhere between the computer and router so that the range is extended.
You should on the WiFi analyser see the different mac address of the router and AP/Extender and see different signal strengths between them.
The other thing to note is which frequency you have selected, e.g. 2.5 or 5 Ghz. if the router is pumping out both, but the AP is using only one of them, you might need to change the frequency selection you are monitoring on WiFi analyser.
Edit:
Confirm which model you have is it the RE1000 N300 extender?
Ok, I think you mean you are using one of the fast ethernet ports connected to your computer, sorry I assumed the computer had WiFi!

I've just updated a little bit the post to make it clearer... I've plugged the AP to the computer only to configure it.
I can see in the Wifi analyzer both wifi signals...
Probably it has been working all this time and I've not been able to see it. 
Thank you for posting!

No worries, I've been using the Ethernet port to configure the AP.
The steps were terribly easy to perform, and it has been working since the first attempt.
The problem is that I thought the network strength signal would grow as two devices would be giving WIFI... but you said something that helped me... a new network has appeared and the devices switch from one network to the other one when one comes missing.
Thank you for your post!

That one had really bad special effects, I seem to recall. It was completely Bang-less...

Your memory suits you well. The players were pretty naked, especially during the eternal flames scenes.

Nope, that can't possibly be right...

I'm not saying anything[^]
Suffice it to say that it is (literally) "addition" 23 (as in, I have already had to install 22 others) that helps to restore some of what MS has "fixed", over the past years.
... And it's an absolute godsend!

Microsoft is using the new UI to introduce confusion into users. Confusion, sling with Scientology creeps into every facet of computer usage. A Castle symbolizes the domain of a king and his loyal subjects, Tom cruise is like a kingpin Scientology. Micro stands for small, but their software is the biggest of all. Tornadoes in the shape of the uncircumcesed male confuse and destroy things, not upgrade them, in the confusion of microsoft, larger = micro and worse = upgrade
