    Have to have our router on one end of the house, so we got this to try and reach the other end of the house. Works maybe 10% better than without, but can't get a signal through a bathroom at all. My son's room is on the other side of a bathroom from this extender and he barely gets any signal. Can't do any online homework from there.

      Hi, Bigfutn,

      The position of the range extender and interference could've affected its performance. We suggest relocating it and use the Spot Finder feature on the setup process to help you find the best location for the product.

      Please email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so that we can have our Escalation Engineers assist you.

    I bought this because the WiFi did not reach my Ring door bell or my sons room. I really didn’t expect it to work as well as it goes. I now have WiFi that’s works in every room. So far this product works great.

    Modem was moved by Cable carrier and is now downstairs and far from Desktop. Using internet was spotty at best. Would take forever to sign on and then connection was lost. Purchased this Wi-Fi Range extender and the connection to internet is great now!

    Purchased this router to replace the Spectrum Wireless router that kept failing because I had 6 devices wired to the network. Since replacing with this router we've had no issues, wired or wireless.

    I needed an ethernet connection in my office and didnt want to have to pay to run a new coaxial line and move my modem/router. This works great as a wireless bridge (and can do VoIP), bonus is that my Arlo cameras that didnt have a very good wifi signal now do.

    Doesn't have enough range for me!

    My PC is in my study which is about 30 feet from my DSL modem/wireless router and there are walls in the way, but I leave the door to my study open. I tried positioning this wi-fi range extender roughly mid-way between my router and my PC, in a location where it is line-of-sight with my router, but my wi-fi connection kept dropping. I found that there was a new driver available for the wi-fi adapter in my PC, so I installed it, but this didn't solve the connection problem. This range extender has a limitation that might be causing the connection problem that I experienced. My router only operates in the 2.4GHz band, but the wi-fi adapter in my PC operates in both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands. However, this range extender connected my PC with a 2.4GHz connection.

      Hi, DeepDiver,

      You may check if the range extender is broadcasting the 5 GHz band and, try to update the firmware and see if that will make any changes. For further assistance, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.

    Difficult Support Directions

    I returned it simply because I had a complicated issue with connectivity and the support is only online. As a person who is not a tech geek, reading online directions is useless to me when figuring out how to get online. Oh well

      Hi Sl1000,

      The extender shouldn’t require a frequent reboot. We suggest that you manually update its firmware. You can follow the steps on this link: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=143617

      If all else fails, please send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this post for reference.

    I set this up inside my office because my wifi signal was very weak inside the office. It seems to be doing what it's supposed to be doing. So far no issues and internet is now strong inside my office.
