    Very rarely loss of connection depending on how far extender is from device. Had to connect via laptop as manual wifi first time connection was not successful. Once connected works well.

    I got this for the usual reason -- to try to fill a coverage gap for my wifi in my apartment. The extender was not easy to set up, and once set up, it constantly dropped the connection to the router. The technical support desk wasn't all that helpful. The unit needed to be "rebooted" to make the connection anew. And even when it was working, the increase in speeds that I recorded were pretty marginal. I wound up returning it in frustration. I doubt there was anything intrinsically wrong with the product, but the solution itself (any extender) doesn't work very well.

      Hi, Birdman,

      There could be factors that affected the setup process and stability of its connection with the router.

    Easy setup. The range is a bit limited however my rating may also be affected by the occasional metal stud in our 5K square foot home. I would just opt for an additional router next time.

      Hi JamWarSun,

      If placed too far from an existing router, a range extender may not expand Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi may be spotty. The Spot Finder feature does a great job of helping users find the best position for optimum performance. Adjusting the position of the antennas will also help you get its maximum coverage.

      Please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can have one of our Escalation Engineers walk you through the necessary steps. Include your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.

      Hi, weezyrose,

      Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The behavior that you're experiencing using our Linksys wireless extender is very unusual. Allow us to make this right for you. To achieve maximum wireless coverage, it is recommended that your Linksys RE6700 range extender is getting at least 50% of your router’s Wi-Fi signal and is located midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi. You can also try to log in to the Spot Finder page and determine your signal and move the range extender according to the Spot Finder results. Should you need further assistance, get in touch with us at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this review for reference. We would be more than willing to help you out.

      We look forward to hearing from you the soonest.

      Regards,


      Linksys Support

    Decent Extender

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I did read the reviews that said this is a decent extender for the right circumstances.It just was not able to work in my application as the distance was just too great for it to be effective. I returned it and was pleased with the customer service at Best Buy. My overall impression is that most of these extenders are OK for smaller work loads. If you need more ooomph to make your WiFi really hum, you need to spend the big bucks to get a more powerful router with whatever extra satellites you will need. And, as more and more applications around the house become WiFi, you will need increasingly stronger routers.

      Hi, Dutch,

      The RE6700 Extender is capable of boosting the range of your wireless network up to 10,000 square feet, eliminating dead zones. However, thick walls, metal objects, appliances, and mirrors can cause signal interference that will affect the overall performance of your device.

      For queries and assistance, we can be tapped anytime at [email protected]. We have our Escalation Engineers always ready to serve you.


      Best regards,

      Jay
