gained some higher connection with it,no bad for the price, had for 2 weeks and all good. I did some more research and found the neatgear nighthawk x8 was beast of a router. Well I spent the $ 400 and now this extender is going to be given away to friend that router is insane I get the same speed at my desk all the way to the end of my driveway in front of house. so if this extender doesn't do the job get a better router and you will be impressed.

I purchased this item to broaden my internet signal throughout my home and have several items connected at one time. This range extender does what it says it will do, Easy to set up and use with your existing wifi router. You can log into your extender and see exactly where you are extending your signal too and plug it in anywhere throughout your home. Great item, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to extend their signal.

Within 10 minutes I was set up. Intuitive installation process. After set-up, my WiFI range surely extended and now I have full signal strength in two rooms previously unreachable. I have a nest cam (on WiFI) in one room. With the stronger signal, the camera connection actually works!!

So glad I purchased this product, it has really extended my WIFI in my home. It was so simple to install and connect to my devices. Also with having the outlet ability I do not sacrifice a valued outlet location.

This product was purchased with the notion to extend my network wifi to eliminate dead spots and it has worked fabulously. I no longer get disconnected in certain areas of my home! Great bargain.

of Wi-Fi coverage. Our original modem is too far away from the guest bed room. Plugging in the extender in the living room was easy and I love the fact that I still can use the outlet for something else. Set-up was fast and the signal strength increased significantly.

The setup was simple and basically automatic and the steps were easy to perform. This extender increased my wi-fi signal significantly so that I now have whole house coverage including my outside porch area. I am very pleased with this product thus far.

Fixed some problems I was having with my Comcast dualband modem/router. I still lose connection to it sometimes but I have a feeling that is Comcast and not the extender.

I have always had problems using Wi-Fi in certain areas of my house - in my home office in particular. Since I work from home, that's a big problem. I have to do computer work in the kitchen as a result. I recently got the Linksys - AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender to fix the problem. It was easy to set up and now, I can do work in my office! Great purchase!

In the pool of products extending your internet this Linksys item works better than most. It is relatively easy to set up and offers a nice boost to coverage. It takes a bit to match up their .ext address and get a working signal, but once you do there is a marked difference. Don't expect a complete match to having your router right next door, but a definite improvement.

I could not get my smart TV or my i-phone to connect to the wi-fi in the back part of the house. The Linksys AC1200 Wireless Range Extender solved the problem. Now I have wi-fi anywhere in the house (5 bars!) all the time. It was cheaper than buying a new $200 router. Easy hook-up to my Mac Pro. I was looking at others and the Best Buy Salesperson recommended this one.

Setup on the extender was extremely easy and it works great for 2.4. As for 5.0, it is questionable as it constantly losses connection with the wireless router even though it is well within range. Then it acts like the 5 was not set up in the first place and you have to do setup again.
For the price it is great even just using it as a 2.4. If you want one that works well at 5.0 then move along to another.

Hi, Beavis,
It's possible that there is a signal interference on the 5 GHz band which is causing constant disconnects. We'll take this chance to have one of our Escalation Engineers look closely into your network setup to ensure that both your router and extender are properly communicating with no barriers. Please shoot us an email at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review for reference.
