Link sys AC1200 Amplify great wifi extender
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a free product from Linksys. I have had spotty wifi connection and had tried various way to get around it in the past. The amplify extender was easy to set up. I followed the instructions and was able to set up with my phone. The web utility is supposed to be able to tell you if you are in the sweet spot and when I was connected it said I was. Right away it was obvious that the wifi which you can rename when setting up was good in all places and the spotty areas were no longer spotty. I could see both the 2.4 and 5 ghz bands on set up and are so named while setting up. The Amplify extender has an ethernet port that I was able to use to see if it was working and try out with a roku xs to make sure it works and a music port that shows up on apple air play. The wifi speed is good in all areas of the house, I don't see any drop in speed from the main router to the extender when I am closer to the router but I don't know how to test to see if any change but if any I did not notice. if you need to extend your range and you are not an expert with all this networking gear this is the one to get its easy to set up and so far I have not had connection issues with it

Posted .Hi, DRoc,
The placement of your range extender is one of the key factors in its overall performance. Check if the unit 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. We can also utilize the Spot Finder feature of the product to ensure that it's in the right spot.

Worst purchase ever done

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Linksys Staff
Posted .Hi, Pats,
We truly understand your frustration. It is possible that wireless interference is the cause of the dropping signal and intermittent connection in your network. Relocating your extender closer to the router and making sure that the device is running the latest firmware can help fix this setback.
Should the issue persists, e-mail us your contact details at [email protected] together with the link to this review so we can have our Escalation Engineers provide advanced troubleshooting steps that can hopefully eliminate the issues that you have.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Posted .Hi, ATLman,
To fully optimize the performance of your RE6700 extender, it is best that it's 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 page to help you find the best location. Please reach out to us so we can tap our escalation engineers to walk you through the process. Send us an email at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this review for reference.

Great extender - RE6700
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received a free Linksys RE6700 extender in return for a fair review. The RE6700 installation was relatively easy. Just plug it in, connect to its WIFI name, then access the unit with a link, from a wireless device, and follow the directions to define the source router (Linksys WRT1900AC) and give the extender's 2 frequencies (2.4 and 5.0) network names, or use the default names provided, which I did. The only issues I had was with using the link set up with my smart phone. I used a tablet and it worked OK. The second issue was not being able to get back into the set up software after the fact, with the provided link. A call to the tech line and they showed me how to get the router assigned URL for the device, and use that to access the set up software for any adjustments. Sometimes the link will work from my PC, and sometimes it will not. Not sure if it is Linksys issue or my hardware issue. The Spot Finder Technology part of the app worked the first pass, told me that the extender was too close to the router, to unplug it and move it further away. Upon unplugging it, I lost the connection. Upon plugging back in, and reconnecting, I could not get back into the software to access the Spot Finder to see if the unit was optimally connected. Overall, the extender works very well. It is a little slower speed than my very fast router, but still acceptable for use around the back yard and pool. Originally, the extender was quite slow, but speed improved over time. May be due to automatic balancing of bandwidth by my router. If there is improvement to be made for the extender, it would be to include the guest WIFI frequencies as well. Not sure if Linksys includes this with other models. Or I can add another extender for the Guest WIFI frequencies.
I would recommend this to a friend Not best purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn't extend as good as I hoped. Should have purchased stronger model
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Linksys Staff
Posted .Hi,
The RE7000 should extend your wireless network to hard-to-reach locations, and its overall performance is dependent on where it's plugged in. It would be best if the extender is situated midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi. We recommend using the Spot Finder page to help you find the best location of your device. Please reach out to us so we can improve your Wi-Fi experience. Email us the details at [email protected] along with your contact information and the link to this post.
We're looking forward to assisting you.

Great Range
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a 2-story above grade 3600 sq' home with a basement. Due to wiring locations my AC1900 Wi-Fi router is located in the basement, in a closet located on one of the corners of my home. The closet has 3 walls of concrete block and a solid wood door. Obviously this has caused me to have issues with getting little or no Wi-Fi signal to various parts of my home. I received a RE6700 (AC1200) dual-band Wi-Fi range extender free of charge from Linksys in exchange for my honest feedback. The RE6700 range extender is now installed in a 1st floor outlet in the center of my home and I have GREAT dual band signal (full bars) anywhere in my home and in my front and back yards. The RE6700 has a light on the front to indicate status and to let you know if it is too far away from the router. The light indicator was very useful after setup to help me find the optimal location to plug in the extender for me to get the best range. It also has antennas on each side that help direct the signal. There is also a pass through outlet so if outlets are a premium you wont lose one because of this. I originally tried to setup the extender with an Hp laptop running Windows 7 and had some issues with continually dropping the Wi-Fi connection during setup. Therefore, I switched to an iPad 3rd generation to complete the setup, which went flawlessly and was easier than the laptop. After it was setup I confirmed that all my Windows laptops and Apple devices were able to connect to the Wi-Fi and I could choose between either the router or extender Wi-Fi. So far my experience has been very positive. This replaced a RE1000 extender and seems to provide a much better range.
