    This product was very easy ti install and it certainly did the trick. No need to have WiFi dead spots in your house. It worked so well, I got a second one to use in another part of the house where the connection was so-so.

    Works great, i was using Powerline to tie some equipment upstairs to downstairs network for internet access powerline worked, but never gave the performance i expected based what their claims were. This gives me 2-3x what i was getting with powerline and has 4 wired ports i use for some servers with no wireless cards. exxellent

    I use this extender to extend the range of my WiFi router in the garage. It works well and is easy to set up. I can start/stop and program my sprinkler system on my cell phone anywhere.

    Easy to use, picked up enough signal from about 35 yards through the house into the pole barn. We were able to Line of Sight through glass windows though, which will add signal strength over metal or wood walls. I’m getting faster speeds from the router with lower latency. Not sure if that’s normal, but looking to upgrade the house router as well eventually.

    I’m am pleased with the performance of this Wi-Fi extender. I initially purchased as an adapter for my hard wired audio video receiver and it worked great. But then I got a bit of a surprise it actually improved my wireless connection to my other devices.

    This was very easy to setup, and quickly extended my wi-fi range in and around my home. It takes on the name of your main router or you can alter the name so that you will know to which device you are attached.

    We have a big house and this extender does help us get wireless connection in rooms where we previously could not. However, I did have to call Linksys in order to figure out how to set the thing up. The directions,although simple, left out key steps. I would still buy it again and Best Buy was very convenient.

    Good directions; easy to set up. Did what we wanted it to do, which was make our wifi accessible in remote parts of our house. We just didn't know in advance how an extender worked -- it actually sets up a separate wireless network to choose

    As I write this I'm sitting on my boat around 200 feet away from my wifi router inside my lake home. So I appreciate the coverage. I like the clean simplicity of the router's single status light but it is not consistently lit when I have multiple devices actively using it. The Linksys app that I downloaded to my iPhone was easy to set up. The network map is not accurate nor consistent showing devices on the map that are not present and not showing devices that are. The app could do so much more to help me "see" the coverage of the two bands and how much bandwidth each device is using to help me administer my wifi network.

    After installation of the Range Extender, the coverage in my house was definitely improved. My router was in one corner of my house which created limited signal in certain areas and rooms. I currently use a router provided by my Internet service provider which probably does not provide the signal strength required. The extender solved the problem, but I probably will look at purchasing a better router in the future to replace the one provided by TWC.

    I needed my Wi-Fi to reach through out the yard. I spend a lot of time outside enjoying the short summer and always spent more time trying to keep connected to the internet to listen to music. This solved the problem. I can even walk down the street and still be connected.

    Worked great- automatically sets IP and automatically changes it so there are no conflicts with the router. The problem is when you want to install more than 1. You can do it but it requires advanced setup. The plugj/play approach shuts down internet completely.

    Best network extender, and on sale now

    I have used one of these for a few years now, and it always works. It is very easy to see if the original signal is strong enough because you will see a white steady light. If it turns to orange steady, it means you are a little too far from the main router, and you have to shorten the distance. I have not used the phone app that helps with this because it is so easy just to get the white light and know it's good. Speed is very fast, and having 4 gigabit ethernet ports in the garage without having to have dug a trench for wires makes this thing well worth it. Linksys/Belkin is the way to go for all networking gear now. Linksys is the best (stay away from netgear stuff with all their online registration and constant automatic updates), and this device is superb. I am online now buying another one for a friend and have set up several of these for people I know, and they are all still working.

    I had a need to enhance the Wifi signal in our house for a Wii U in the basement and my daughter's new laptop on the second floor. Both being on the other side of where the current router was located. I went in to get another model, but the store associate that was in the area helped me with a question and pointed us to another model that would provide a stronger and better coverage. We bought it and it has covered our house excellently. Along with the security WPA feature, our house is covered and secure. This model was worth the few extra dollars and we have been happy with it so far.

      Hi, matt,

      The location where you plugged in your RE6500 Extender would impact the range that it can provide. 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're just an email away at [email protected].


      Best regards,
