Asked 3 months ago by Jb.

• A:Answer You have to program this by pairing it up with your home network. Then unplugging it and re-plugging it in the area you want a stronger signal. Note: this did not work for us, we returned it and went with the eero mesh system which worked perfectly.

Q: QuestionHello. Thank you for all of the answers provided. My question is: I will like to bring signal to my shop from the house. I plan to run a CAT6 wire from the router to the booster. Will this work ?

Asked 2 weeks ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes, I’m sure that if the cable length does not exceed the standard cable length. In this case, the cable must be no more than 328 feet (100 meters). If your shop is on the larger size, it’ll help the signal strength range by mounting the extender around 8 to 10 feet or so.

Q: QuestionIf this extender only supports backhauling via Ethernet as an AP node (not Bridge), I’m curious to know if my iOS’s “handoff” mode work seamlessly across both the BE9700 Router and this BE6500 extender?

Asked 3 weeks ago by RtMack.

• A:Answer Hi RtMack, That will depend on various factors including, but not limited to, the SSID configuration(s) in your network (e.g., if the extender has the same SSID as your router, and across all bands), the roaming settings on your iOS device, and whether you opt to use EasyMesh configuration―in which case the extender would connect to the router using wireless backhaul in extender mode.

Q: QuestionIs this product compatible with Mac OS?

Asked 1 month ago by Kevin.

• A:Answer My answer would be yes, as I have a mixed blended network of both MAC and PC’s and my experiences have been that even though the iOS does seems to require more bandwidth at times, I haven’t experienced any delays, drops or degradation of speed or service.

Q: QuestionHow much range it cover, does it compatable for hospitality?

Asked 3 months ago by tony.

• A:Answer I can’t recall the exact range specified by the manufacturer, but I selected this product partly because of its advertised coverage. (I’ve included a speed test from the first floor; the extender is installed on the second floor—see the attached picture.) Based on my experience with Wi-Fi in hospitality settings, one of the biggest challenges is the building’s age and construction. Concrete floors, walls, ceilings, and potential metal ceilings can all impact the wireless signal. Here are a few tips to improve your Wi-Fi extender’s performance: • Try to mount the extender higher up, rather than placing it lower to the ground. • If possible, aim the extender toward the area where most users are located. In some cases, you may need two extenders because the signal can be blocked or split by the building’s structure. Normally, one extender would be enough, but challenging environments might require more.
