Posted .Hi, Jane,
Setting up the RE6500 Wireless Extender is supposed to be easy using the embedded Setup Wizard (browser-based setup) or using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button if your wireless router or access point supports WPS. Get in touch with us and we'll request one of our Escalation Engineers to get this fixed. Please send us an email at [email protected] with your contact information and the link to this review for reference.

I would recommend this to a friendNot what i expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried to use as extender for my existing 1 GB speed internet. The reality you will extend the signal but de speed is dropped dramatically. With my phone connected direct to the router speed was 250 MB average with one bar, connected to the extender with all bars, the speed was 6 MB. This is not acceptable for me but if you goal is reach all your house and speed is not an issue for you, this will work but for me speed is also important.

Posted .Hi, Maldoarch,
The behavior that your RE6500 Extender exhibits really caught our attention. Though we're not really expecting to get the exact amount of bandwidth, but it shouldn't be that low. Allow us to tap one of our Escalation Engineers to check your network topology and improve your extender's performance.
