Posted .Hi Captain72,
We appreciate your review of the Linksys RE6500. But, setting up the RE6500 range extender should have been easy with using the setup wizard or using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). However, should you need further assistance, you can reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with the link to this review for our reference.

I would recommend this to a friendEasy setup. Will require some computer smarts.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took a little time to access network. WPS kept failing, had to manually connect to modem. But once in, came right up and did what I needed. Puts out as good a signal as the modem it's connected to. .
