Killed Dead Spots
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a dead spot in the most important of rooms...the Man Cave! I placed the range extender at the half way point between our wireless modem and the dead spot (like the setup instructs) and it set up and worked awesome immediately. It even helped out upstairs in the kids rooms.

Simple and powerful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for approximately $80. The setup required a knowledgeable base of networking. Since setup though it's been trouble free. The available settings are great, 4 of 5. The range and wall penetration is a 4 of 5. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Good overall range extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good overall extender, but needs to be close (about 10') for both frequencies to be captured.

Posted .Hi sandtkolls,
Thank you for taking the time in sharing this review. You may 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.
Feel free to contact us at [email protected] for questions, suggestions, or Linksys assistance. Please include your contact details and the link to this review for reference.

Good, but not as good as they say
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extender works good, but it doesn't cover 3-4000 square feet as it says. But it definitely helped in the house. Easy to set up, no issues so far. Doesn't work through walls very well, not as good as a router.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and we appreciate your taking the time in posting this review. Allow us to check the unit and to help you out in improving the range extender's wireless performance. It is recommended to ensure that your range extender is getting at least 50% of your router’s Wi-Fi signal and is located midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi. For further assistance, send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com. Please include your contact details, location, and the link to this review.

Accomplished what I needed it to do.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase this router to extend the range of my Wi-Fi from a living room that I have upstairs to a room that I have in the basement. The signal was scraping and I was able to access several devices because of it. I truly do believe it was a great purchase.

Extended signal but not as good as I expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm using a Linksys dual-band AC router in a relatively small townhome. I expected to get good wireless signal with the router alone, but that didn't happen. Added the extender to upstairs and got better signal, but I expected Excellent signal strength with the extender. So overall, there was some improvement but hasn't met my expectations.

Quick and easy wireless booster.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device quickly and easily solved a wireless coverage problem in the house. The router is on the top floor, a unit that needs a connection is in the basement, and there just wasn't enough signal to reach. The range extender went in easily, quickly, and works like a champ.
