    I went with my grandpa to get this for their home. They have the camera door bell system but only 1 door bell was out of range on his Wi-Fi cable modem. I hooked this up in minutes and had the bell working. I recommend this if your home is made out of brick or have a cast iron fireplace between rooms.

    I really love the extender as I was always having difficutly in getting on to the net from my office which is a long way from my router. I am very happy that I got the extender as I have a lot less trouble and more time doing actual work on my computer. I am glad I got it and wish I would have done so sooner.

    Easy to follow instructions. You don't have to be an IT expert to set it up. Just use the easy to follow included instructions. Low profile so it tucks away. Good option to reach devices that are not wireless or far from the router.

    Best WIFI extender I've used

    The RE6500 is hands down the best WIFI extender I've used - and I've used many. Others have said the setup is a bit strange -I found it straightforward. After setup, it's been very reliable, signal strength great, a significant improvement over 2 different NetGear and a Belkin extender I've used in the past.

    I purchased this item to extend the range of a Linksys access point (a EA6100). It appears to work fine if access control to the AP is via password, but even after two hours with tech support, we could not get it to work with the MAC number access control I'm using on the 6100. BestBuy did a great job refunding my purchase and providing a second AP, so now I'm covered by two different APs. Too bad the range extender wouldn't play nice with another LinkSys device.

    The wi-fi extender is really helpful to have. I used a wi-fi app to test whether my signal was stronger in the upstairs bedroom - and it is. It wasn't as easy to configure as the instructions said, but it wasn't really difficult.
