    I like the small form factor. It has good power output. I use it as a repeater for distant locations that need a better signal. Its easy to setup, just save the booklet for future use.

    My office, cable modem and multi-band router are on 2nd floor and other side of home from smart tv and wi-fi game console. The Ac-1200 remote access point automatically installed and was activated easily. We now have full connectivity throughout!

    Had trouble with initial setup. Called Linksys, they were very helpful. Strong range extender, but I keep having to reset it. It loses its connection and won't reconnect without a reset. Strong when it's working, a pain when its not.

      Hi, Joseph,

      Your RE6500 Extender need not be reset if the firmware is updated and is properly relocated to a spot at least 50% from your router's Wi-Fi signal. Please email us your phone number at [email protected] so we can review your case and have one of our Escalation Engineers conduct further isolation. For easy reference, indicate the link to this post.

    Easy setup, extended my wifi coverage to just about double what it was. I bought this because my iPhone was losing wifi signal when I was outside. My data use had gone up quite a bit because I was stresming music and podcasts. This fixed that problem.

    Where's the security?

    This worked pretty well until it didn't. On my iPad the App Store wouldn't come up until I connected to my primary wireless router. At one point I couldn't connect through the Yahoo! Mail Pro app, either with the same routine--go back to my primary router. From day one I was really uncomfortable going to an insecure website, extender.linksys.com to set the box up and reveal my home WiFi router key. Then, of course, Apple's iOS started yelling at me about "weak security." Then Windows 10 did the same thing. So, I took it out of service (after the return period) and watched over 70 dollars circle the porcelain conveyance.

    I just wish I had gotten this sooner. Now, I can use Roku in a back bedroom with no lagging at all. I described my need and the salesman led me right to this item. I was skeptical that it would work, but I was very wrong.

    Very happy with this purchase. With kids at home during the “Zoom Generation”, we needed an extender to get better WiFi to the rooms on our second level. Solid price and very reliable.
