Posted .Hi Choi,
It's odd that the RE6500 range extender is giving you such challenges when it comes to connection stability. Make sure to equip the latest firmware for further isolation. Our Escalation Engineers would like to take a closer look at your experience and help you figure out what's causing this to happen. With the link to this review and your contact details, please send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com so they can lend you a hand on this matter. Indicate a small but brief description of your network topology and their LED statuses when it lost connection from the network.

Posted .Hi, Pgsinclair,
The range extender's location and the type of router that you're using are just a few of the factors that can impact its performance. Ensure you have at least 50% of your router’s Wi-Fi signal during its initial setup.
Please get in touch with us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can have the unit checked further by our Escalation Engineers. They'll help you achieve the product's full potential. Indicate your contact information and the link to this review for our reference.

Posted .Hi, Lindak,
The Linksys RE6500 should extend the range of your wireless router up to 10,000 square feet but, we can have our Escalation Engineers investigate the device further. Please email more details at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.
