Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don't love this product. It helped, sure. But I feel like it could've done a better job. If you have to use it, go for it. I had better luck with this one than with my last range extenders, so there is that.

After hooking this device up I found out it was not compatible with my Verizon Fio's Great product just not for my services

I have had unit this for a few months now and have to constantly reset both my router and this unit as it causes my router to drop internet connectivity. Before this unit was added I never had any issues with my router (Linksys AC1900) but I did have coverage issues on the 5ghz band (which I use mainly for my phone, tablet, & TV). I added this hoping to solve this issue. While I have connectivity it works great, with amazing speeds and coverage. But then either the extender drops connection to the router or the router drops the connection to the modem. When using a wired connection for my ps4 it will work for all of 5 minutes before my ps4 drops the connection to the extender. I am quite familiar with networking and the relative equipment so I have played with all the settings to try to correct the problem including firmware checks and location, but nothing seems to fix the issue. I have been a firm Linksys fan for the better part 10 years but this is the first time I've encountered any issues like this.

Not sure if I noticed a difference with this extender.

Works pretty well for the price and boosts my internet very well to remote parts of the house where internet is usually spotty. Once every while, there will be a problem connecting to the internet and it's annoying to fix.

I tried using this router and the wifi wasn't strong enough... So I had to buy a extender.. Still did not help.. Had to return it for google home which was not great as well.. But google onhub did the magic.. I have a 2000 Sq ft house and this is excellent!! cover end to end... My internet is rocket speed now!!!

I've had this for about a year now. This is easy to set up and does a great job to boost the signal. It's nowhere near as good as the original wifi signal, and don't bother using the Ethernet ports. It now has to be reset every few days to keep a strong internet connection.

Was a little difficult to get to connect, would not work as the directions indicated. Had to finally connect to router with the push to connect option. Not sure if it every did connect right, but seems to be working so far. Do like the size of unit and does have a good range seems like. Will see how it goes.

This product says (the light will flash for 3-5 minutes then you can begin set up. On initial set up it flashed for 45 minutes (not exaggerating). After a recent power outage and it had to be power cycled to connect again, it took nearly 30 minutes to stop flashing. It must stop flashing before you can see it on the Linksys webpage to get it connected. Once connected it is very powerful. I have 968 mbps from my provider. This thing broadcasts that speed upstairs in my home at full capacity for 7 devices when all the family is home and upstairs.

Took a long time to figure out how to get my phone connected to it. Repeated calls to help line, but finally extended my range to edge of property. Never could get laptop or iPad to connect though.

Bought this on the advice of the Best Buy online Tech agent. Was looking for the best way to extend/boost wifi throughout my bigger 2-story house. Had a hard time getting it to connect to my current wifi network. Had to call Linksys customer support. Then, and only then, was I told that this router had to be within 30 feet of the base. AND, it only pushes 50% of the signal. *sigh* Just not what I need. Returned it.

Easy setup. Not much allowed in configuration. Extends the range of my WiFi well. In three months, have only had to reset once. Could be cheaper.

Item was purchased to extend the range of Linksys 1200 router. Depending on weather, good speed range from 1.5 to 3 MB on 18-20 MB network

To begin with, I will admit that before I experimented with range extenders as a means to expand my wireless network I did not do adequate research on how well these devices work for the purpose they serve. The Linksys range extender did boost the range of my network, but, like all range extenders, it cut the speed of my network significantly. If you just do light web browsing this would work well, but if you do things like heavy gaming or Steam In-Home Streaming, I would look into other options, such as having a wired network installed in your home.

Bad internet provider is bad internet provider. This does strengthen several areas of the concrete walled condo I live in ... but there are no miracles. When I walk from upstairs (where the base Internet Wifi is located) to the downstairs (where this range extender is located) it seems to hesitate and sometimes drop my FaceTime call in progress. If I stay in the area, no problem. It was really easy to setup and only needs an electric plug. Bonus I used it to provide a wired connection to my Satellite provider box on the ground floor.

I'm not sure if this was the right product for the job but it does extend the range on my Wi-Fi

It works pretty good as long as I have it in range of my router. The only thing is that it is hard to know if it is getting the signal from my router. Sometimes it loses the signal from my router and I can't tell. It only has a light on when it has power. It would be nice if it had some kind of light to tell me that it is getting the wi-fi signal from my router. I would probably recommend to just buy a better router with a longer range.

I was having problems with my wifi reaching the bedrooms. I looked at a lot of extenders and the reviews on this one were really good. Just a few so so reviews sprinkled in. After my experience the so so reviews were dead on. Setup was a breeze, but the area where the program had me place the extender was pretty close to my router. I have a little better signal in the bedrooms. Enough to do what I need.

This is okay. For a while it was working good it did get better for my tv outside and slowly the tv started buffering. I was pretty pleased but the other day I cannot get it to connect and light stays red all the time.

I needed a boost to my home WiFi signal because my modem and router were at one end of my house and a room used to view a TV (wireless DVD player) was on the other. I was assured that this booster would easily take care of the problem. Well, it does, most of the time, but not all of the time. I figured for over $100 I would see a significant improvement of my signal, but it just wasn't there. Sorry but I'm just a bit underwhelmed.
