Disconnects
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for my father-in-law to extend his WIFI to the front of the house. It constantly disconnects even when it is well within range. The instructions were hard to understand; where to place it, but trial and error and youtube helped the best.

Frequently lost connection from router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The set up is pretty tricky and it took me the entire afternoon to have it up and running. (I don't know why, but quick set up won't work so I have to do it manually). The first month there's no major issue with the extender. After that, the extender lost connection with the router way too frequently, and sometimes it gets even worse that I have to factory reset the device and run the entire set up process again to get it working. Now it's the third month after the purchae, and the extender frequently lost connection and have to be factory reset every 2 days almost! I use to own a different brand extender, way much cheaper than this one and that one work with no issues for almost 5 years. Never purchase Linksys product.

Posted .Hi techlover9,
The Linksys RE6500 Extender need not be reset in every 2 days to keep the internet connection working. One of the factors that can trigger dropping or intermittent connectivity is having a corrupted firmware. Please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can have one of our Escalation Engineers contact you and take care of your issues. In your email, indicate your contact details and the link to this review.

Maybe, but not in the countryside
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm confident this works for many households, but not where I am located. Although Verizon claims I have 4G coverage, I usually get two bars at 3G. This Linksys Range Extender would not link to my Jetpack to extend the signal.

Terrible. Do not waste your money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router has to be reset daily online. I had a cheap net gear one before and wanted extended range of this router. I literally have to get on the website and reboot it daily. It is not worth the plastic it was made with. Very overpriced for the complete junk that it turned out to be.

Cheap but not so dependable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Often requires a restart; the unit shows up on devices but it's as though the unit does not respond to connections. After a restart, all is good for a few days.

Excellent AC range extender with extras!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used two of these for my customers and they work great! I love the fact that they are dual band, have 4 network ports on the back, and an audio out port - although I have not tried to use that at all. The range increase is excellent, especially if you place it higher up above everything.

Works great in my warehouse...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my warehouse. I was a little concerned that the distance listed on the box was not going to be enough. Turns out I actually placed it farther away from the front office and it works just fine. Im very happy with my purchase...
