I would recommend this to a friendDid not help / boost my range the way I expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a two-story 3400 square foot home and use a Netgear Nighthawk Router. I purchased this to boost my WiFi for a Ring doorbell and a Ring outdoor floodlight. It seemed no matter where I placed it I did not get the boost I was looking for. I returned the item. It helped with the upstairs, but not enough to justify the cost.

Posted .Hi, RobE,
This isn't the expected behaviour of the RE6500 range extender once running to the latest firmware and getting an optimal signal from the main router. Allow us to check the unit for you and have our Escalation Engineers contact you for resolution. Email us at [email protected] with your contact details and link to this post as a reference.
