    Fairly easy to install and set up. It worked fine for a few days then I had to re-install because it stopped working. It’s been great ever since though. Good product for the low price.

    I purchase this router to extend the range of my Wi-Fi from a living room that I have upstairs to a room that I have in the basement. The signal was scraping and I was able to access several devices because of it. I truly do believe it was a great purchase.

    This extender works, but has the limitations that the salesperson warned me about. In didn't work in the location I initially wanted, so I had to find one that did. But I didn't want to spend money for the next best extender, so I can't complain.

    Seems to be doing some what of a decent job. We still have some lagging issue's. It took my 16 old some time to create new pass codes and accounts. Just what we need more codes and more accounts! One for the upstairs gaming devices. One for the in between range, including my TV in my room which has not allowed me to use Netflix since it has been installed. We even got the latest router from XFinity. I want to stop Xfinity all together... if you can give me any idea's I would greatly appreciate it. My contract is about to end and I do not want to continue with the service. Just way too costly for my single mom of 4 budge. Thank you very much!

    The AC1200 range extender works great. It's easy to setup. I bought this for my Parents so they can connect all their backyard's smart devices. So far it worked as expected, and I'm very happy with the product.

    Easy to set up. Decent looking product. Following the instructions was a breeze. I do wish it reached a little further. Even with this Wi-Fi Extender, I still only have 2 bars in some places in my house and my house is not that big.

      Hi, matt,

      The location where you plugged in your RE6500 Extender would impact the range that it can provide. We recommend taking advantage of its Spot Finder Technology feature to guide you where to properly relocate the extender for an optimal coverage. Should you need a hand, we're just an email away at LinksysCares@linksys.com.


      Best regards,

    Wi-fi extender did the job

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

    I like Linksys devices, and I have for a long time. This extender did the job it was supposed to do - bring the wi-fi signal to a "desolate" part of the home. I am still learning the limits of this thing, but so far, I have connected a smart TV and gaming console with ease. The setup was even easier. Only one issue: Sometimes I think it causes great interference and almost all hosts lose wireless connection in the house, regardless if they are connected to the main access point or the extended. Restarting the wi-fi extender helps. This is something I need to research, because I am not sure if it is the wireless extender or something else. I am certain that it is fixable. I am extending the Arris router signal that Time Warner (Spectrum) supplied to me. This issue did not exist before I hooked up this Linksys product.

    I have long been a fan of Linksys routers and this one is no exception. It keeps are wi-fi signal strong and steady - which is important as I work from home. Even with heavy traffic (from streaming, gaming, and additional phones and computers on our home network) - I have had no problems.
