Great Wi-Fi Range Extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

I would recommend this to a friendGreat wireless bridge
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friendOk

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat wifi extender for any home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although I think the product is a little pricy, I highly recommend the wifi Range extender.

Replaced Spectrum Router
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 would recommend this to a friendDoesn't have enough range for me!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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 LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.
