    This is an excellent product. It’s set up easily and performs as suggested by the company. It cut extra past caused by over usage of data due to Wi-Fi problems. Since installation, we have not had an overage.

    I was always frustrated I couldn't get service in my favorite room. This works great and was so easy to install and fairly inexpensive.

    So this Wifi range extender served its purpose and works as intended. I have the Verizon gigabit connection and the speeds were on par as the Verizon connection.

    Very easy to install! My back bedroom would cut out and now I have 3 bars on my phone when streaming video. Lap top buffering has decreased to constant stream as well!

    I have only used LinkSys routers and have always been pleased with their performance. That’s why I didn’t think twice about using this LinkSys Extender. The setup was easy and straight forward. I rated it 3-stars (Average) because I didn’t get the range the LinkSys states you can get. I returned this product.

      Hi Hunter,

      The Linksys RE6400 range extender should be able to provide a stronger connection at a wider range. But, wireless interference and physical obstruction can cause some issues. You may try to relocate the extender close to the router for isolation and make sure that the firmware is updated.

      For further assistance, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review and, we'll have our Escalation Engineers look into it.

      Regards,

    It started off working great, but after about 3 weeks, it disconnected and have so much trouble attempting to pair it up again. Resetting both this and the router still doesn’t do it.

    It was OK. There are so many more on the market now that blow this away.
