- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 10000 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Form Factor: Freestanding (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
- Band Technology: Single (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Antenna Type: External

Linksys RE9000 AC3000 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Range Extender

Q: Does it plug into the wall and should it be put in a central location of the uverse router is in a bedroom ?

A: It should be placed halfway between your router and your dead Wifi area. In set up it has a spot finder- this helps finding the optimal placement. I run my Wifi off of my family’s next door and it is seamless now. My upstairs had terrible dead zones and now no issues.

Q: Hi, Before I buy this extender, I would like to know if this extender will work with Velop AC2200? Thanks,

A: Yes, FR. However, since you have a Velop system, we suggest using the Velop mesh extender instead to retain the mesh capability. Check this out: https://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-WHW0101P/

Q: What is the difference in internet extenders that cost $45 and $145

A: ability !!!!! you pay for what you get! you alone. 45 is ok. you, spouse, kids, machines, dog, and maybe a neighbor.... MORE POWER!!!!!

Q: I live outside the USA as a expat, my house voltage here is 230 volts. Can the power adapter accommodate that voltage?? or a voltage range 110-230???

A: Hi, outlier. The power requirements of the Linksys RE9000 range extender is 100-240V so it should work in your region.

Q: I live in a single story home with a smart tv in the basement and 2 on the upper level what is the best place for an extender n300 linksys router. hp computer system

A: Hi gtl. If your router is located in the upper level of your house, then you can place the Linksys RE9000 in the basement, to extend your router’s signal, for the devices located in that area. Be sure to use the Spot Finder feature to know if range extender is too far or too close from your router.

Q: I have a Linksys AE9500 ac5400 MIMO Router with 3-RE7000 extenders on a 2-story, U- shaped 4,000 Sq. foot home that still has dead spots. Will the RE9000 allow me to place the extender farther away from the router and give me greater range?

A: Hi, Monty. You should be able to place the Linksys RE9000 range extender far away from the router yet you might consider checking the spot finder feature of the extender to help ensure the range extender is in the right spot.

Q: Does the booster/extender require line of sight??? We live in an RV, (approx. 35').

A: Hi. It's not necessary, as long as the range extender is not too far or does not have too many physical obstructions that can affect the signal between it and the main router.

Q: Will it work with a cox gateway router

A: This extender is universal, so it can work with any router that can provide internet by wifi or wired by ethernet. At least most Cox gateways do both, so they should work..

Great Speed, Excellent range
I have a couple of these in my 3600 Sq. Ft. home. It is probably overkill, but I can get excellent connection and speed throughout my entire house, backyard and about ½ block from the house. Very easy to setup. And if you want to tweak settings they are all there.

Extended Pleasure
---SETUP--- The setup of the RE9000 Linksys extender was extremely easy. What is recommended is for you to connect it at a plug near your existing WiFi router so that you aren’t walking back and forth when setting it up. My existing router is a Linksys AC4000 with Max Stream. It works with any router, but the process is much smoother with a Linksys Max Stream router. After plugging in the RE9000 extender, you wait one minute for the blinking light to turn solid orange. Then, you press the WPS button on your router and the WPS button on the extender and they connect in about 1 minute. After that, you can unplug the extender and plug it in an area that has weak WiFi signal at your home. The light on the extender will tell you if it’s a good spot or not. Solid green means strong signal. Solid orange means a weak signal. A blinking orange light means that the extender is too far away from the existing router. Guide yourself based on that lighting and you are good. ---FEATURES--- The key feature of this extender is that, if you have a Linksys Router with Maxstream, you don’t need to change to another WiFi hotspot in your own home. Your wireless devices just recognize the extension and you have continuous internet wherever you go in your house. ---PERFORMANCE--- The performance of this extender is flawless. I have a two story home and my router is upstairs because that’s where my gaming consoles and PC are at. My family rarely spends time downstairs, except when we go to the kitchen. That’s where it’s a wild west scenario to pick up good WiFi. We usually just take our phones off WiFi to use our cell phone data while watching shows. With the extender, I now have a solid full WiFi signal and can stream without any interruptions. ---EXPECTATIONS--- The product meets my expectations. Before the extender, I couldn’t connect a Google Chromecast at the kitchen TV because it was too far from the router for a stable signal. Now, we are enjoying a strong signal and a good choice of entertainment from the Google Chromecast. This weekend, my extended family came over all with multiple WiFi devices. Approximately 25 devices were connected and it didn’t slow down my network in the area where the signal was weak before. ---VALUE--- The price for the extender is worth is if you are having weak signals in your home. Additionally, it doesn’t slow down other WiFi devices that are connected to your original router because it dedicates a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band to your router. ---APPROVAL--- I highly recommend this product for people who have large homes where their WiFi router is out of range at frequented areas of the house.

This REALLY WORKS!
Like many, I've struggled for years with modems provided by Service Providers or purchased myself that simply did not give full house Wi-Fi coverage let alone reception to my separate Garage/Workshop. So, even though it bristled with multiple antennae like many other "powerful" units that I've tried before, I was ready for more disappointment when I installed the Linksys - RE9000 AC3000 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Range Extender . The difference in Wi-Fi coverage was enormous. Whereas before the Linksys RE9000 was installed my only reliable Wi-Fi signal was downstairs rooms except the farthest bedroom, After installing and setting it up, full four bar coverage extended to EVERY inch of my 1.1 acre lot from corner to corner. For the first time I can stream Wi-Fi without buffering in my separate garage in the work room which is in the part of the garage that is farthest from the house. The range I'm experiencing only comes if you run a LAN cable from your router to the area that you want better coverage. Otherwise, you can only located the RE9000 Extender as far away from the main router as its Wi-Fi signal will reach. For me this meant mounting it in the garage attic. The added advantage of the attic location is that the extra 2nd story height pushes the signal farther out to the edges of the property. I feel like my W-Fi has a whole new life. Pros: - Excellent Signal Strength/Range - Device recieving the Wi-Fi signal will be switched automatically and seamlessly between the main or the Linksys router (whichever has the stronger signal in that location), as you move around. - It will beam multiple signals at different frequencies if one frequency has too high a load. - The set up for wireless comunication between the main router and the Linksys RE-9000 is particularly easy. One button-push if you have a modern main Router. - Appears on Wi-Fi list with the same password and same name as your primary router (with "_EXT" after the name. Cons: - The more effective Wired LAN installation and setup is more complicated,but in my personal experience that was offset by the excellent, patient, phone in Technical Support.
