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 [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.

Posted .Hi, Kayt,
The behavior of the range extender is far from expected as it is designed to handle 25+ devices. Make sure to run the latest firmware or even place it on a spot away from physical obstructions. Our Escalation Engineers would love to assist and aid in experiencing the best out of the unit. Please drop us an email with your contact details and the link to this review for reference at LinksysCares@linksys.com.
