A:AnswerHi, HotSpot. No. The Linksys RE6300 will need a dedicated wireless router. You can check this link for more info: (https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=178005).
A:AnswerHi, Jeff. The Linksys RE6300 is a plug-in range extender that can easily increase the range of a wireless home network, eliminate dead zones, and provide Wi-Fi range extension with two non-detachable external antennas. Just make sure to place the unit where it gets optimal signal from the main network and it should work fine. Click here to learn more: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article/?articleNum=140760.
A:AnswerHi DrSuess. Yes, the range extender uses the same SSID as the router, however, it has the extension name “Ext” for you to be able to easily distinguish it.
A:AnswerHi, MOTOWN. The Linksys RE6300 works fine with most Internet Service Providers and Routers. Also, it covers up to 6,500 Sq. Ft. Thus, make sure to place it in between your router and the area without network connections.
A:AnswerHi, carole. If you meant to say that your old Linksys Routers supports WiFi with no security passphrase, then you may try accessing the routers settings and optimize the WiFi password. Thus, the Linksys RE6300 should work fine with most of the routers.

A:AnswerHi BigMike. Yes, this range extender will work for your desired setup. During installation, you can use the Spot Finder feature of the RE6300 to know the best area to place the range extender.
A:AnswerYes and No. The Lynksys will start a new WiFi connection of for each that you have with an -ext. For example, if your WiFi network is call HomeAlone, when the Lynksys is operating you will still see HomeAlone but also HomeAlone-ext. If you want to use the HomeAlone-ext, you will have to log in to it. It will have the same password but you will have to log on the first time like it was a new network.
A:AnswerHi. The Linksys RE6300 allows you to repeat and extend the wireless signal coming from your access point or router. It provides Internet access in hard-to-reach areas through wired (through its Ethernet port) or wireless connections.
A:AnswerHello, Gem. Setting up the Linksys RE6300 is easy with its browser-based setup feature, and there’s no need for an installation software or setup CD.
A:AnswerShould work with any. All you do is plug this in the wall and it creates another wifi connection with your original wifi name just with ext. On it. You push wps on on both this device and current router and that is the basics of it. It even uses same password.
A:AnswerImpossible to answer. Depends upon construction material of house distance, quality/speed of current router, how many rooms it will go through
. Based on two floor distance would recommend a more robust range extender.
