Not like other extenders
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does NOT extend your existing network as similar Netgear products do. This product requires you to create and name another network so your devices need to switch between different networks as you move around your home vs. extending one network and simply allowing your device to connect to the strongest signal (similar to mesh setups). Most devices will try to hold on the the same network signal, so this is very impractical compared to others. I returned it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendToo inconsistent
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it works, it works well. However, it often loses its internet connection for no reason I can figure out. The wi-fi I get straight from my router also goes out sometimes, but I know from testing that there are times when the router's wi-fi works but the extender's doesn't. Since I have other internet issues, I can't confidently blame my issues with this extender entirely on the extender, but I can't help but feel that it's at least partially to blame. Thus, a 2/5.

Posted .Hi, Colin,
The Linksys RE6300 Range Extender should provide a stable connection and extend the coverage up to 6,500 Sq. Ft. You can try to relocate the extender to see if that will make any difference.

Great Wifi
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a wifi extender to reach throughout the house and garage. My ISP provide modem/router could not provide wifi throughout our house. It was intermittent at best. After installing this extender we enjoy wifi with no interruptions.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works 80% of the time the other percent fails to connect to the 5G band resulting in 2.4 band which is much slower

Posted .Hi, Rrrrp,
This is totally unexpected! Your devices should work fine on the 5.0 GHz band as long as they get at least 3 signal bars. Make sure to run the latest firmware and the devices connected are equipped with the latest OS. Please send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference. Our Escalation Engineers are eager to lend you a hand forward.

Good as needed for expectant range.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a good product but it could not extend to the area I needed it to. That is not a product fault, but due to the fact of concrete walls and multi level building area. It is ideal for interior extended areas.

Posted .Hi, Gene,
Relocating the extender might help as proper positioning is one of the vital factors to look into. To maximize, we recommend placing it in between the router and the area that you’d like to cover. Just make sure that it can still get an optimum connection from the router and that there are no physical obstructions that may reflect, refract, or absorb the signal.
Please get in touch with us at LinksysCares@linksys.com, so we can discuss further around this and assist you better. Just include your contact information along with a link to this review as a reference.

Didn’t do the job...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, together with connectivity issues, stability, and the limited range, this extender just didn’t do the job for us in our townhouse. I tried it in a couple of locations in between our Verizon FiOS router and the Dell pc in my sons bedroom on the third floor, but we just never had a stable strong connection.

Posted .Hi, Kamil,
The main purpose of a range extender is to boost or extend the router’s coverage to hard-to-reach areas. Proper placement might need to be checked. Please get in touch with us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so our Escalation Engineers can help you optimize the extender instead. Just include your contact information and a link to this post as our reference.

wifi router wireless extender
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.had low coverage spot that existing linksys router wasnt covering - not impressed with how well this worked setup was straight forward but coverage not better
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorks good to cover a small radius
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price I would consider it OK I guess I found the range to be approximately 50 feet and it is only penetrating through one wall and it sporadically will cut in and out no apparent reason.

Not worth it. Just spend the $$$ for a mesh.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t bother. Just get a mesh system. This doesn’t really help
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDidn't work for me but won't blame device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted it for the cabin where reception isn't the best so tried this. It did not meet out needs so we will try a mesh system next. It has been returned.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Home addition lacked WiFi. Researched options online and based on input from Best Buy assistant purchased Linksys Range Extender. Installation was easy enough and we now have WiFi in new master suite!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This looked good for what I needed. It was more difficult to link up and I feel the boost to my WiFi signal was negligible. Not totally happy with this.

Gotta be a better alternative
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to extend wifi for security camera coverage. Was busy with other things before trying to install this and waited past the return date on it. When I went to install this, it doesn't even keep itself connected to my router so it is basically useless. Would look to another booster since I wouldn't recommend this one.

Posted .Hi KippyB,
We can stabilize the connection coming from the extender by making sure that the connection behind the main router is stable, it gets at least 2-3 signal bars, and equipped with the latest firmware version. With the link to this review and your contact details, please send an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com so our Escalation Engineers can run further diagnosis.
We'll wait for your updates.
