Linksys- AC1200 wifi extended
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked okay. For my experience, this Range Extended worked approximately 50% of the time. At times, the connectivity was seamless. Other times, it felt really slow.

Works great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed something with no WIFI connected to my wireless network, didn't feel like running a cable. Bought this, now everything talks and transfer speeds are decent. Probibally will never use it as a range extender.

Extender

Good product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great to extend the wireless internet throughout the upstairs of my 4,400 sq ft house. It doesn't get the basement level however. I was hoping for something that would reach the entire home. But it works consistently with no issues. I'll get another for the basement.

Posted .Hi, Jules,
It's good to know that the device is doing its job to extend the wireless signal. To reach the signal from the basement, try to relocate the extender and use the spot finder feature on the setup process to help you check the recommended location. Do not hesitate to email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your phone number and the link to this post if you need our assistance.

Does what's needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to move the modem in my house, but had cat5 connections that needed to be connected in the original spot. This device not only repeats the Wi-Fi signal like it's supposed to, but has 4 Ethernet ports too.

unable to connect to my router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picks up every other router in the neighbor hood. When asking the Geek squad how to fix it, they said change the setting to my routers frequency or upgrade my current router. I don't see a setting that can be changed on the extender and my router isn't all that old (less than 10 years)

doesn't work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this device to extend wifi to the backyard. Followed the instructions for setup, wasn't working properly. Have since been in touch with Linksys support several times for several hours at a time and it's still not working. It's now past the return date, so we're out $100.00.

Didn’t work!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found that the extender ‘pulled the internet’ from the room where I had full internet and didn’t supply better internet where I needed it. It might work well for someone else but it didn’t work for me. I had to take it back.

Unsuccessful set-up
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking forward to using this device due to the ethernet ports and the dual-band Wi-Fi range, however, I was unable to set it up. The light was supposed to stop blinking in less than 2 min but instead turned orange and never stopped blinking. I tried countless times to reset and reposition the device to get it to work but was unsuccessful. Maybe I was just unlucky and the device I got was just defective. I would have really preferred it would have worked.
