    I'm giving this product a 4 star because I have used and worked with Linksys products before. But unfortunately, I'm finding that when working with WiFi products, you will find that this is a proprietary product. If you have a LINKsys router, it is best to streamline all peripherals alike. Cross linking with other brands, even though the box says it will integrate with other brands, I have found, didn't work for me. IN the configuration and set up process.

    This seems like an OK unit. I bought this with the thought of temporarily putting it in the window of my shop to pick up WiFi from my house that is about 75 feet away. It will occasionally connect to the house WiFi but tends to drop the connection due to the distance. When I set it up in the house where I had a strong signal it worked well.

    Range extender works pretty good but honestly not getting the range I thought I would. Maybe I was unrealistic, but I was expecting another 40-50 feet. The problem lies in how far from your router you can place the extender. I realize walls, etc. affect the range, but in this case there was only one wall to go through. That being said, the 30-ish feet that it does extend the range out to is much appreciated.

    I've had the device for about a month now and I have no complaints. I have a dual band router and the wifi extender does a great job of extending both without any issues. I also like that it's a very discrete device and it was easy to keep out of sight, behind a couch.

    I bought this Linksys AC1200 to replace my Comcast Belkin Wi-Fi Extender and I'm very happy with my decision. Now I have Wi-Fi coverage in my driveway and RV over fifty feet away. I also like the fact that I can check the signal strength on my Android cell phone.

      Hi Uberneer,

      We’re glad that the extender has served its purpose. To improve your wireless connectivity, place the range extender in an area where you are getting strong wireless signal from the router. You can also strategically reposition the range extender’s antennas.

      Should you need further assistance, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review.

    Dissappointing performance

    I purchased the linksys extender and spent a week frustrated before Linksys determined it was faulty. After exchanging it and activating the new one, I got better reception from my router than I did the extender. I finally returned it and got my money back. I've always heard good things about linksys, so this may be an isolated experience.

    Bottom line - it does the job. I was hoping for an even stronger signal strength, but it picks up the signal from two floors down and rebroadcasts it adequately on the 3rd floor of our home. I was surprised that the signal strength of the C1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender is not much more than the signal strength of the Wi-fi coming up from two floors lower in the first place. Beyond that, it works as advertised.
