I would recommend this to a friendEasy Setup, Not thrilled with signal strength
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box, the setup was a breeze. I have a 3 story house with main router set up on first floor and had trouble getting signal to my 3rd floor bedroom. I now do get signal but it's still pretty slow...it may have to do with positioning/setup so I will reserve full judgement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Linksys Product Expert
Posted .Hi Hersh. Thank you for giving our product a review. The placement of the device is crucial to the setup process. It's not just about having good signal, but you also need to consider the data transmission from the router to the range extender. It needs to be placed in an area where the router can still broadcast a decent signal strength, so there won't be that much data packets lost. Should you need our help, you may email us your complete contact details, location, and the link to this review at [email protected]. We'd be more than happy to be of service to you.
Very difficult to link up. Complicated.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased the wireless range extender when we couldn't get a signal in a room that was a the opposite end of our cable connection. We looked a several options and the Best-Buy rep recommended we try this extender. Works great!
I would recommend this to a friendNot as strong enough
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a condo 1056 sq ft. The router sits in the middle. I still had to purchase an extender in order to reach my TV on the front end of condo. Seems a little weak for the price.

Posted .Hi, HotrodGranny,
Our Linksys RE6500 is designed to extend the range of your wireless router up to 10,000 square feet, in a perferct network environment. Thus, physical obstructions and wireless interference may cause connection concern. For isolation, try to power cycle the extender and make sure to place it in between the area you wish to extend the range of your wireless router and the wireless router. You can always communicate with us in case you have future concern with our products by sending us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact info, and the link of this review, for reference.
Regards,
