Best update to my last router of 9 years.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gets the job done. Much easier setup. Just takes patience because it does restart itself a few times to complete the configuration and any firmware updates.

To my surprise, I really got great results!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must confess that I was very skeptical and gave it a shot just because I love the buy-worry-free that I get with Best Buy, but when I got home and I install it, things really got better in the basement (the router is on the 2nd floor).

This product is great for a powerful extender.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked the ASUS extender, but I needed to put a handful of wifi ip cameras on my system for security at the end of my house furthest from my wifi router. A Best Buy employee suggested this one. It took some set up work, but I managed to figure it out and it is boosting very strong. Great product!

Great product

I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Signal strength
Adequate to a Point, but NOT a Game-changer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gives a strong signal when close to the main unit- within 500-800 sq feet Any farther away, forget it. When properly placed, we’ll get (only) decent, but steady signal up to about 3 upstairs rooms. I’d recommend it for the price- particularly in a small to mid-sized home.

Posted .Hi PDM525,
There could be factors that affected the coverage of the range extender as it should extend the range of your wireless router up to 10,000 square feet, eliminating dead zones. To help you check it, we'd like to have our Escalation Engineers contact you. Please email us at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this post so we can endorse you to the team.

Posted .Hi, Rich,
If your RE6500 Extender is properly positioned and running on its latest firmware version, it should provide you a stable signal upstairs. We recommend taking advantage of its Spot Finder Technology feature to guide you where to relocate the unit for an optimal performance. Should you need a hand, tap us anytime at [email protected].
Best regards,
