POWERHORSE!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This hard working POWERHORSE has NOT had one issue since the day I plugged it in. There's virtually no setup requirements. Literally! I have a 3,850 square foot home with a Netgear AC1990 Nighthawke (modem/wifi combo). It's located on the second floor in the very back corner of our office. There were a couple dead spots downstairs and so I thought a "Netgear" extender would fix it. Nope. Their devices aren't compatible obviously. LINKSYS RULES! Safe yourself the hassle and buy this extender. Trust me, you'll thank me and will have a non-maintenance device. Set it and forget it!

this device was recommended to me as a solid choice to extend the wireless in my house.
yes it did extend the coverage, however it was insufficient for my needs
this is not because it's a bad product but because of its design limitation ... it really only delivers half the bandwidth from the router and my devices were another 20-30 feet away. the increase in signal strength to the devices was still insufficient to keep them healthy
i bought 2 velops from the same company and got the coverage and particularly the speeds i was looking for
i am going to return this one, it works just not well enough to satisfy my needs
i can only recommend this if you have a small space, it will not sufficiently cover a multi-level home

We had a dead spot for wi-fi in our basement so couldn't access amazon or netflix on our tv. Plugged this in, easy to set up worked like a charm. I plugged it in a basement outlet and we now get great connection. Had difficulty setting up the 5ghz though.

I purchased this because I am a traveling nurse. I was hoping it would boost the campground Wi-Fi signal. It does periodically but not all the time. Unreliable for me maybe better with your own router.

Hi,
The Linksys range extender is best when paired up with dedicated wireless router in one location. It is possible that the wireless source is does not have a stable connection.
If you need further assistance or have questions, feel free to email us at [email protected].
We hope to hear from your soon.

Hi, Re56,
Thank you for sharing your experience. To achieve a stable connection, make sure that your RE6700 Range Extender is running on its latest firmware version and is located midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi. You may take advantage of its Spot Finder Technology feature to guide you where to place your extender for an optimal performance. Should you need a hand, don't hesitate to contact us anytime at [email protected]. We have our Escalation Engineers always ready to serve you.

This WiFi range extender was not what I was hoping for. I had issues getting it connected to my internet & was never able to get it to provide 5.0GHz connection. I was not impressed with the performance as far as extending my internet connection.

Hi, TomA,
If your RE6700 Extender is properly synchronized to your router's settings, it should provide internet connectivity to both frequency bands. We're glad that you brought this to our attention so we can get you over to one our Escalation Engineers for further assistance. Email us your contact details and the link to this review at [email protected].

This is a little over a month old. It works well, easy to set up. Occasionally it will slow down to a snails pace. We have a 60mps service and this handles it very well. Once in a while though it goes on vacation for a few hours and then pops back on.

Fixed a deadspot with Google Fiber

Great product! My son's room had a terrible dead spot for internet connectivity with our new Google Fiber service. This fixed his room and is downloading at a respectable 170 mb per second. Easy set up and creates 2.4 and 5 ghz bands. Had to play around with the location of this device to find the sweet spot in the house to maximize his connectivity. I simply plugged it in to different outlets in the house and then ran speed tests on his computer in his room. Once I found the best outlet location I left it there. Well done.
