Posted .Hi treggone,
Thank you for taking the time in sharing this review. We would like to offer our assistance so you may have a stable extended Wi-Fi connection. Here are the possible solutions that you may do:
* Place it in an area where there is still good connection from the router.
* Use a handheld device (phone or tablet) to check for your router's signal strength. Once you can find a place where there is still 2-3 bars signal, then that's the perfect location for your extender.
* Set your router to use a permanent wireless channel such as 1, 3, 6, or 11.
* Update or re-flash the firmware.
If the connection will not improve, you can send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details, location, and the link to this review so that we can assist you further.
Regards,
Linksys Support

I would recommend this to a friend Helped us deal with competing demands for Wi-Fi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With too many people in too small space simultaneously needing WiFi for work and school during stay-at-home orders/COVID response, we needed options. This extender allowed us to work outside the limited range of our existing set-up, even outdoors.

My first WiFi range extender.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All of my previous wireless routers had difficulty reaching the devices furthest away. This device bridged that gap and now my teenager doesn't complain about the WiFi dropping out in his room.
I would recommend this to a friend It works the way I need it to.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product did extend the WiFi at my house. It seems however I was more susceptible to outside interference. I got a virus within 3 days, where as I had never got one before going to the same websites. Maybe a coincidence, I can’t be sure.

Nice Range Extender

They have made it super easy to find the sweet spot for locating the extender from the main Wi-Fi router. You'll have this unit setup in now time. Great buy.
