      Hi Joesph,

      The Linksys RE6500 range extender is also dependent from your router's wireless signal. To have a better coverage, it is best to place the wireless extender where it can get at least three (3) signal bars from the router.

      If you need further assistance, we're here to help. Do send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details, BestBuy username and the link to this review.

    It did effect my wireless speed a bit, but did extend my range. Try opting to purchase a new router instead.

      Hi, Gwilson,

      The speed of the RE6500 extender would still be dependent on your main router and the number of wireless devices connected to the network. However, to fully maximize its potential, we recommend relocating it to an area which is getting at least 50% of your router's WiFi signal and is located midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi.

      Should you have queries or should you need assistance, reach out to us at [email protected], anytime.


      Regards,
