Moderately noticeable improvement...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would recommend if you need slight improvement on your WIFI range. I am able to reach the pool house finally. Netflix or HULU isn't functioning as well as I expected but there is some improvement.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the speed is better with this device connecting.

Posted .Hi Mouse,
The Linksys RE6500 Range extender should provide an additional wireless coverage of up to 10,000 square feet and help eliminate dead zones. There are factors that may affect the range and coverage of the unit including physical obstructions and an outdated firmware. Please send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details and link to this post so we can get you over to our Escalation Engineers. They'll assist you further on this one.

using it as a WiFi extender for Comcast
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. but the instructions do not.

Great for when you need WiFi in the man shed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This WiFi extender was so easy to set up, I did not need my kids to do it. First time for everything right? Seriously plug it in and put in password for router and it was basically done. Bad part is I never see my husband anymore. He is always in his man shed watching tv, and playing with his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
