||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this was the primary item we purchased the other day. Our internet modem is located in our den, which is in the rear of the apartment. our house WIFI signal is not very strong in the front as a result. this item has greatly changed that.

I would recommend this to a friendNot much boost
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This extender does somewhat extend the signal, however without much of a boost of the signal. I've tried relocating to different locations, but the signal extended carries only minimal bandwidth. This even when using a cable directly to a port on the extender.

Posted .Hi Dahenorti,
The unit is expected to extend the wireless coverage once properly installed and placed on an optimal spot where it gets better signal from the router. If the unit is equipped with the latest firmware, email us your contact details and the link to this review for reference at LinksysCares@linksys.com. Our Escalation Engineers would like to take a closer look at your experience and help you figure out what's causing this to happen.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat WIFI Extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased another brand which constantly keep losing the WI-FI signal weekly. Called their customer support and they blamed it on my router. Incorrect. The Linksys one is far superior and never fails. Recommend stay away from other brands.
I would recommend this to a friendNeeded to extend signal..
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this extender to extend my current signal into a back bedroom. When it works, it is great! But, I have to unplug and reset it often. Not sure why it keeps dropping out. My other signal does not drop, but for some reason, this one goes in and out.

Posted .Hi, PastorMonty,
The Linksys RE6500 range extender should deliver a stable wireless connection but, a physical obstruction may cause some issues. For further assistance, feel free to reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our wi fi signal was unpredictable in part of our home which meant we used data and didn't know it. This has solved the problem. Thank you! It was a little difficult to set up. Our son helped us out.

You are on your own
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are basically no instructions with this and you are left on your own to figure out how to make it work. I'm not a fan of the trend of having to go on a website only to find the instructions. Because often you are required to create an account, give out your information, etc. So far this item has been of zero use to me.

Posted .Hi, user1,
This is a very unusual behavior for the Linksys device. Make sure that the firmware of the device is up to date. You can also reset and configure the extender again, then check if the behavior remains the same.

I would recommend this to a friendIf you get it to stop blinking orange, it's great!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're able to get past the ever-blinking orange light issue upon set up, then this is an excellent range extender! Very reliable - my work PC never had an issue with connectivity.

Best extender i think
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for my ps4 because my wifi wouldn't reach it and i would be lagging constantly but with this extender it really improved my speeds by a lot. great if you don't want to spend too much!
I would recommend this to a friendBad for Mac and 4K
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I spent countless hours trying to get this unit ti see my Apple Airport Extreme, but it would not connect. It was probably good that it didn't because I don't think it would have the throughput to send 4K video to my 55" Sony monitor anyway. I took it back and got a Power Line Ethernet Adaptor which works great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot so easy
