Not the best thing ever
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product did not work as well as I expected. It did however work. Easy to install and set up. Price was a little high when considering a dual band router can be purchased for about the same price. It did not give me the extended range that I expected and I returned the product and purchased a higher end product.

Posted .Hi, Culbles,
Repositioning the range extender and using its Spot Finder tool could help in optimizing the wireless coverage. Although you've already returned the product, you can always contact us should you need help with your other Linksys devices at [email protected].

Going Back
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No benefit; signals still dropping and Wifi strength in the corners of my home which are around 20 to 30 feet from the location of this extender still drops to 2 or 1. Strange that the box mentions that the range covered is 10,000 feet!!! Highly disappointed from such a costly "range extender". This is returning back to the store.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My home is a bit old, concrete walls, so WIFI is a bit distorded. Overall, good item for the money.
I would recommend this to a friendClose but not a solution
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately the product did not solve the problem as we continue to have buffering issues. We probably have to invest in a more robust solution to get buffer free reception from my streaming device.. Bottom line, the advice that this product would solve the problem was incorrect.
