    I purchased the Amped wireless extender at first. Had nothing but trouble. Returned it and got this product. I have some issues here and there but nothing like the one I returned. The software makes more sense to me and the product itself is smaller and more power efficient. Great purchase and did what I wanted it to do.

    It has some interruption. When I move from the area covered by the main wireless router to the area of less coverage by the main router and supposed to be fully covered by this range extender, my phone will initially show no internet connection and I have to disconnect then connect again to be able to get internet and it is after all not good signal. I have a 3500 sf rectangle house. the range extender is almost 20-30 ft away from the main one and show solid green light indicating good location and my place of using the internet frequently is almost 15 to 25 ft away from the range extender but the internet is slow most of the times. I am not sure if there is a better range extenders on the market because I didn't try another one but if anyone recommend another kind superior to this I would try it but still I might use this one if other aren't better.

      Hi Eric,

      As long as properly configured and equipped with the latest firmware, the Linksys RE6500 should eliminate dead spots & extends the existing Wi-Fi network of your router. Our Escalation Engineers would love to help you out and learn what's causing this to happen. Please send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review for our easy reference.

      We'll wait for your updates.

      Regards,

      Carl

    Works perfectly to extend the range of an existing router. Had a little difficulty getting to the app to set it up, but once there (read the directions) it was straight forward and worked perfectly.

    I deployed a couple of these on the fringes of my home network, they install easily and do have decent throughput and work well. Unfortunately they dole out their own IP addresses and don't seem to function in Transparent Mode so you end up with double nat issues and connectivity issues between LAN devices.

    Due to walls and electronic equipment, we could not receive a decent Wifi signal from our wireless router. It was on the other side of the house than the TV. After installing this device, we are now able to watch TV, connect our laptops-phones-tablets to our wireless network with no interruption.

    We got this extender to help with wifi availability. It has helped with reaching our upstairs, It seems like we still have to reset the router at times to keep it working. They may be due the router alone and not this product. So, we are basically happy with this extending the wifi range a bit.

    This works great picking up and bosting my landlord's wi-fi signal from the floor above ours. Before installing this our signal was marginal at best so our TV kept dropping out. That is no longer the case. Installation was super easy. The signal strength detector really helped finding the best place to position it.

    I moved in with my niece between selling my house and buying my new house (waiting on it to be finished) so I needed a Wireless to Ethernet switch for where all my gear would be located. I researched the RE6500 and picked it up locally the Best Buy near her home. It was easy to setup and has been performing flawlessly. I have had zero problems with it so far.
