      Hi, Chas,

      There shouldn’t be a problem in configuring the range extender with same settings as the router's. It would be best if you will email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so that our Escalation Engineers can contact and assist you with the process.

    We had issues with getting good wifi on our upstairs back bedroom. We put this upstairs (half way between our router and bedroom) and it worked like a charm! We can now stream movies via netfllix without it stopping and I can now use my computer and phone on wifi. Was very easy to link up to our router.

    Good but not great, it seems to of made a difference but as far as 10,000 ft.² coverage I'd have to disagree with that

    WIFI extender

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

    This was a recommendation from the Best Buy salesperson. It probably works in some homes but not my home. My house is a ranch style. I found it inconsistent in pairing it with my Time Warner provider Wifi. The extension of the signal was not as good as I hoped. I had a TWC contractor come out to help me and he told me the problem was the TWC wifi is not very good and recommended I get my own.

      Hi, Philk4357,

      The RE6700 extender should boost your wireless signal and compatible to work with your ISP's router. To achieve maximum range, it should be getting at least 50% of your router's WiFi signal and is located midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi. We recommend resetting the device and using the Spot Finder Feature to find the best location.

      Send us an email at [email protected] so we can tap our escalation engineers to walk you through the process. Don't forget to include your contact details and the link to this review for reference.

      We look forward to hearing from you soon.

    I put this Extender into my Condo in Florida. My kids were unable to stream tv upstairs on wireless, probably because of the duct work in my main floor ceiling. This unit was easy to install. We followed instructions and it was easy as 1-2-3. It does exactly what I had hoped it would do.

    I used to get very upset in my bedroom because the wifi was not working well. The problem was all the concrete between rooms. I installed one extender in my room and now my apple tv, my iphone and all the devices that need internet are working very well.

    This came highly recommended by the sales person. Got this for my Dad to use. There were some issues setting this up and connecting to the existing router. Compatibility shouldn't be an issue. Still trying to work out kinks, not sure if will return it on not. My brother bought the same one for his home and had similar issues. He is much more technologically inclined.

    My internet speed on the main floor (router in basement) dropped from 50M to 8-12M. Literature said this would create a new Wifi network with a better speed. The new wifi network also tested out at 8-12M... but the original network now gave me 25M, so I guess I got what I paid for.

      Hi, 1OlddogNewTrick,

      It's odd that the speed of your main Wi-Fi network has improved and not the new network that your RE6700 Extender is broadcasting. Please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can tap one of our Escalation Engineers to look closely into your network setup. Include your contact details and the link to this review for reference.

    I will say, as soon as i installed this range extender i immediately notice how far i can be from my main router. Even outside in the hallway which i never had a strong connection, and video lagged quite a bit. Problem solved, this product delivers and worth the investment.

    This extender actually came in handy. I was having issues with some of my wireless devices connecting to my WiFi due to the distance from my router. Since I installed this, all of my devices have been connecting and maintaining a connection with minor to no issues.

    Not sure if it is a good wifi extender or not because I could not even get it to work. I didn't spend too much time trying - probably 30-40 minutes but setup wasn't obvious - considering that I always do all computer/network stuff myself and that I think of myself as knowledgeable. Ended up buying Google Wifi and set that up in 2 minutes - literally.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] so we can get you over to our team. Indicate your contact information and the link to this review for our reference.
