    Before purchasing this device we (all 5 of us) would constantly either lose or otherwise have a very week Wi-Fi signal throughout the house. In fact, even when connected to our existing Wi-Fi, we'd have issues with dropping calls from one room to the next. After plugging in the extender we now have great Wi-Fi reception throughout our home - to include coverage in both our basement and attached garage.

    I purchased the Linksys- AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender, because the WiFi in my house is at one corner of the house and the room I use it for in in the opposite corner, I use my computer as well as a RoKu for my TV. Before I was having a hard time connecting or keeping connection in the room. Now I have no problem.

      Hi, JD22,

      It's good to know that the range extender was able to improve your network's signal. However, in order for you to maximize the Wireless-AC speed of your RE6500, your router must also have the same Wireless-AC capability.

      Please reach out to us at [email protected] so that our Escalation Engineers can check your network environment and help you achieve the unit's expected performance. Indicate your contact information and the link to this review for our reference.

      Regards,

      Kristine

    Extending 100 ft through garage works good 5 ghz from AC-1600 router AT&T 100 feet should work better with a re-6500 adapter. Got points for the review but making it honest
