- Cons mentioned:Connection
Awful. Did not extend range and spotty connection.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This did not extend the range of our primary router (actually worse connection in some areas) and does not carry a reliable connection, especially for streaming, often dropping the signal and requiring a restart or reconnecting to the network.

Posted .Hi jruff1906,
Aside from the location where you plugged in the RE6500 Extender, other factors that can affect your Wi-Fi range are thick walls, metal objects, appliances, and mirrors. To fully maximize your extender's potential, we recommend taking advantage of its Spot Finder Technology feature to guide you where to properly relocate the extender for an optimal coverage. Should you need a hand, we have our Escalation Engineers always ready to assist you at LinksysCares@linksys.com. Just indicate your contact details and the link to this post for easy reference.

Reliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great extender that is very reliable. Recommended.
I would recommend this to a friendBad internet solution
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This range extender is terrible, I would spend my money on mesh router network systems instead. Not only did this cripple the internet speeds, it only recognized 1 out of 2 bandwidths. I could not get this to work in any usable capacity no matter how many times I have tried.
