    Great when it stays connected

    When this is functioning, it works perfectly and serves the purpose of extending the house wifi where it wasn’t reaching before. However, I’ve had to completely reset it every few days since I first set it up. There appears to be no consistent reason it stops working, the internet just cuts out and the light starts flashing orange. I now keep a nail taped to the fridge near where it’s located so I can quickly hit the reset button and start the setup process over again. Would not recommend!

      Hi, Green25,

      This is quite odd. Is there a stable connection directly from the router? Check if that extender is utilizing the latest firmware and get in touch with us at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can help you investigate the challenge. Don’t forget to include your contact information and a link to this post as our reference.

      Regards,

    works OK...customer service non-existent

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this both to extend my wifi range and for the audio out feature. WiFi extension works fine, but can't cast audio through this unit as expected. At least that's what I assume, since customer service never bothered to answer my question posted to their Q&A section of the product page over a week ago, asking how to get that function to work. If you can set this up by yourself, it's a decent buy. If you need help, shop another brand, because Linksys will not help you.

    Works OK, but drops off line (white light goes to Red) at various times. Problem may be Cox. Was a little confusing to set up using on-line instructions.

    Poor product that does not work

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    first off, the box advertises that it has "Spot finder technology". After 2 hours on technical support discovered you have to buy the RE6700 to get this. Next I found that the 2 antennas were flimsy and kept falling off. Cisco has sold Linksys to Belkin so not the same quality or service. Buy another brand and save yourself some grief!

    Does the job perfectly - now I have 100% signal in the other side of the house. There are many rooms and metal objects in between me and the previous wifi router, so with this range extender in the middle of the router and me, makes it PERFECT.

      Hi Beto,

      We value the time you've invested in sharing your experience with us. Here are the possible solutions that you may do:

      * Place it in an area where there is still good connection from the router.
      * Use a handheld device (phone or tablet) to check for your router's signal strength. Once you can find a place where there is still 2-3 signal bars, then that's the perfect location for your extender.
      * Set your router to use a permanent wireless channel. Use the Wi-Fi analyzer app. It helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.
      * Update or re-flash the firmware.

      If the connection will not improve, please send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details, location, and the link to this review for reference.

      Regards,

      Linksys Support

    Problem was big, big house. The "smart box" with the router was really far from the guest bedroom - lots of masonry walls in between - no coverage at all - not even a dot. Linksys Extender working great! Great price and easy to install.

    Actually this was getting my old range extender with my new WRT 32 router. Router great, but couldn't get RE 6500 range extender connected. Ended being extremely complex, but Linksys tech was the best ever!!!!
