[Employee of bestbuy] Works as advertised. I have an outdoor shed with a tv and other electronics. My previous extender was from my internet provider and even though I explained how far I needed a reach, it didn’t! New BBY extender is great and! Perfect pic and audio all the time.

The extender works fine. Occasionally I loose the connection but that is due to other issues that I am working on to improve.

Hi Bayfrog5,
Thank you for taking the time in sharing this review. We'd suggest doing the following:
* Place it in an area where there is still a good connection from the router.
* Use a handheld device (phone or tablet) to check for your router's signal strength. Once you can find a place where there is still 2-3 signal bars, then that's the perfect location for your extender.
* Update or re-flash the firmware.
For further assistance, feel free to email us at [email protected] with your contact details, location, and the link to this review for reference.
Regards,

Works great for larger houses to carry the Wi-Fi through out the entire house. Easy to set up with the app.

Very easy to setup, actually used my phone to get it onto my computer network. Works very well too. I use to extend the signal out of the house and into a workshop that is inside a metal building. I've had problems in the past getting a signal out there. Not with this, has worked flawlessly now going on a month
Seriously the best extender money can buy I get service in the back corners of my yard and have it plugged in, in my kitchen. Great distance quality. A little tricky to hook up but not impossible,I recommend this to anyone who has bad service in there backyards

My bedroom is the furthest room away from the router in our home. Hence, my internet in my room was basically nonexistent. This has already changed the game. Setting it up was so easy. It took me a bit to understand the instructions completely, but in total it took me like 15 minutes. Look at the pictures to see the before and after effects of this device.

It does what it is supposed to do. The setup can be a bit of a challenge. My routers WPS button did not work for this. So I used a CAT 5 cable. That was the easiest way. Here are a few pictures of my speeds. The first is connected to my EXTENSION. The second is a picture directly to my router.

Needed something to boost my signal for ring cameras and this did the job easy to use and works nice.

Very easy to set up and connect. I travel a lot, and hotels always have crappy wifi. This boosts the signal so I can stream movies, ri-res music and my play my xbox.

Have tried various brands, models and price ranges.. Simply said, THIS WORKS! This model has not dropped its signal once... my cable modem/ wifi router is downstairs, in the garage, at the other end of the house! This device even has an ethernet jack, as can be seen in the picture, that is connected to my Firestick.

The extender works excellent.I am very ,very happy because uninterupted internet is needed for my work and the extender assures this capability.Now I can work being sure that I have a good quality internet in any place of the building .

Prior to implementation of any sort of range extender, my network Wi-Fi signal would not fully allow access in our 4200 sq. ft. home. We also had a smart tv located in our basement that pixeled constantly when attempting to watch internet-based tv. Once installed, our problems have been eliminated. This became an inexpensive fix to correct our issues of inadequate signal for internet connectivity.

This product is working well to extend the range all the to get a good signal for backyard security cameras. However, I had to drop the rating because it was extremely frustrating to get it connected to my network. The simple WPS pairing function never worked, where it has worked for every other device, and going through a mobile device set up seemed simple but it finally connected seemingly at a whim after many attempts doing the same thing. I'm not a tech geek but I am not a slouch either but if you can get it connected swifter than me then this is a good value product

Hi Thunderbox,
We cab stabilize the connection of the range extender by making sure that it is equipped with the latest firmware and the connection behind the main router is stable. Please send an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review as our reference. We'd like our Escalation Engineers look into the unit further and provide diagnosis. Indicate the unit's LED status (light color) when it drops connection from the main router when you reach out.
Regards,
Carl

Received my Linksys today and set it up with my broadband router. Very easy too set up and will definitely improve your connectivity speed. My speed wasn't to bad already. Just using the booster to amplify my speed and create stability! Will update if anything changes. Also it's staged right next to my router.

It did exactly what I needed it to do. Very very useful for me.

Elderly person was trying FaceTime with her grandchildren on the patio, but didn't have a good signal. She contacted her internet provider and they were absolutely worthless. Fortunately a friend connected us about her issue. I bought this, installed it and it extended her home network with great results. But you need to change your wireless network connection on your divice to the extend network (as with any device like this).

Was having trouble with my internet reaching my son’s room, I was told to buy an internet booster. Went to Best Buy, purchased the booster, and it works great...

House wifi seems to move slower is back part of my house (BIG HOUSE)! My son suggested a wufi booster, ordered this one and now NOBODY complains of slow access. It seems to work FASTER than my regular wifi. EASY to set up also!

Works great. Easy to install. Helps wifi connection at rooms away from the main router.
