Posted .Hi, NM74,
We appreciate the time you spent to share with us your feedback for the Linksys RE6500. We understand how you feel and we'd like to take this chance to assist you in improving your wireless connection. Basically, range extenders share bandwidth with the router. Its wireless speeds are slower as the data is being shared between the two devices. To maximize its performance, make sure to place the range extender half way between your main router and where the intended wireless devices are located.
Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com and include the link to this post. We'd be more than willing to assist you.
Regards,
Linksys Support
