We found this to be a great help for our son. Before installing this we could not get the wifi to his computer to do much of anything.

Extender is slow to connect in my experience. I need to find a more optimum placement for the device. According to the instructions, I am at a marginal spot location for this repeater. My home has limited outlets.

Hi, Papaya,
Thank you for the time that you've spent in writing this review and letting us know about the challenge that you're having with the unit. It's actually best to place the unit midway between the router's location and the devices that it will extend the signal for, or in an area where there is at least 50% of the router's signal. You may also tweak on the antenna's position to properly isolate things. You can check out this video for that, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRfU_lcWasY If the issue persists or should you need further help, email us at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this review.
We'll be happy to assist you anytime.
Regards,
Linksys Support www.linksys.com

great range extender for a wireless network

I have a computer and modem-router unit in the second floor of my house. I was having trouble connecting to my wireless network, when I would utilize a laptop computer or a blu-ray video player in the first floor of the house. The range extender completely solved my problems. Everything connects to the wireless network and performs flawlessly at all times.

This extender is great.
A couple items - it says create a separate SSID for the extender. You only use that to change/log into the repeater - not a separate network SSID to use. The green light indicator isn't very green. The red/orange colors are easy to see. The green looks more yellow on mine - that color is good/OK.
Easy to setup and range is great now!

It slows down wifi speeds too much

This range extender is super easy to set up. Everything went smooth until I paired my cell phone to it. If I get wifi directly from my router, my speeds are over 30 mbps. With this extender the vary from 1 - <10. It does its job by extending the range but I think that is too much of a speed loss to really be content with it. If more devices connect to the wifi extender it drops my speed even more. Sometimes to the point where I just connect it back to the main router.

The hardest choice was to purchase this item. It was very easy to use, just plug anywhere and voila... A stronger wireless signal of your wireless network. The signal penetrates cement walls to the second floor of our duplex. Signal never drops and so far it meets and exceeds the reason we bought it in the first place. Thank you best buy for having it on offer.

After adding this Wi-Fi booster into our home. The coverage and range in the entire house is perfect. We had a few dead zones before installing this. Now we have no issues at all. Salesman tried to up sell me on some Google Wi-Fi peripherals over $300. Don’t be fooled you don’t need that, this product will do the job you need.

I purchased this because of the range it said it has in the home(up to 10,000 ft). It does not stay connected all of the time. I have to wait until the signal strength is ok to use it.

We had problems receiving and holding a good signal. This helped our router to hold the signal and prevent constant stoppage of video streaming.
