Tried to use as a wireless bridge...bad idea
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried to set this up as a wireless bridge for a NAS, voip phone and workstation, devices were constantly disconnecting and I would have to perform a hard reset on this thing to bring them back online. Totally useless, wish I could return it but I threw away the packaging.

Posted .Hi doomah,
One of the possible reasons why we encounter wireless disconnection issues behind the Linksys RE6500 is its location and the distance from the router. Make sure to place it midway between your router and the place without Wi-Fi. Allow us to have this checked with our Escalation Engineers via email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link of this review for our reference.

Posted .Hi, Wait,
If you encounter intermittent connections while connecting behind the Linksys RE6500 over Wi-Fi, then try to power cycle the unit and make sure that the extender is within the Wi-Fi range of the wireless router. You may also try relocating the extender and let us know with its result by sharing it over email at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can have it checked with our Escalation Engineers. Send along with your contact info and the link of this review, for our reference.
