Easy to set-up by pushing the link buttons. One issue is that it had to be reset several times over the past year.

Extended signal range but significantly reduced the the internet speed, which is very frustrating. Recommending only on the basis that product extended the range of the wireless signal. The reduction in internet speed, however, may drive your crazy.

Hi Happybday,
We appreciate the time you spent in sharing this review. Here are the possible solutions that you may do:
* Place it in an area where there is still a good connection from the router. * Use a handheld device (phone or tablet) to check for your router's signal strength. Once you can find a place where there is still 2-3 signal bars, then that's the perfect location for your extender. * Set your router to use a permanent wireless channel such as 1, 6, or 11. * Update or re-flash the firmware.
Feel free to email us at [email protected] with your contact details and location should you need further assistance. Please include the link to this review for reference.
Regards,
Linksys Support http://www.linksys.com

Very happy. My speed in the family room and garage went from zilch to 35 MBS. Make sure to name the extended link differently to ensure connection to the right connection point.

We've suffered for years with poor signal in our 1800 sq ft ranch style home in all the bedrooms down the hall. Router is in the den on the back of the house and signal just wasn't making it to the bedrooms properly. Got this, easy setup, put in the hall plug which I thought may be too far from router, but it's not. Now all three bedrooms have great signal. I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner.

As an IT professional I want my work to look to that skill level and this does the job. For homes that don’t have the ability to run cables in the wall this accomplishes the task without that horrible network line running through your home. I love that you get full speed’s all the way through the house. Wi-Fi is great but there’s nothing like having a physical cable.

Bought before I knew my problem could be solved by moving my router. But, before I moved it, the Linksys did a good job of extending the wifi signal. Would recommend it.

The range extender was easier to set up than what other reviewers stated, but I use all Apple products and they just work. No problems yet with the extended network signal.

It boosted the wifi pretty good to the front of my house. The signal does still drop once in awhile so I'm not giving it a full 5 stars but it definitely improved it.

Yes it does help Internet get to the electronics in my rm that is over a garage. I would have given it a 5 if I would be able to push a WPS button to hook to my TV.

This was just what I needed. My router was not reaching to the back four rooms of my house. I updated my router which did not provide reliable wifi range. This extender was easy to install and setup. I am more than pleased with the range this creates. There is not a place in my house that wifi does not reach. My house is over 2400 sqft. The range even extends outside.

Needed to extend wifi in my house, this did it! The setup was easy, directions were clear and the extender was up and running in 10 minutes.
One month later, not one single hiccup. Never dropped the signal, reset or wondered off. My 2 daughters stream videos on their tablets and wife games at the same time. Zero issues, would definitely recommend.
