Did not connect
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for my boyfriend to extend his wifi range upstairs from the modem downstairs. After he worked with it for hours and called for technical assistance it was a no go. We believe the unit was defective.

Posted .Hello, BigT,
It is recommended to place the Linksys RE6500 midway between the router and the area without Wi-Fi. Also, make sure that it will get at least 50% of the router's connection. Our Escalation Engineers got curious about the issue you're having with our device by sending us an email at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review for our reference.

Posted .Hi, OhhMy,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that your Linksys Range Extender works well with your analog audio system. There could be several devices sharing the bandwidth which stops you to go very far from the range extender. Try to see if the connection allows you to go far if only a few devices are using the internet.
Email us the details at [email protected]. We'd be glad to further assist you.
