Posted .Hi,
We value your feedback. The extender depends on the location to which it is connected. It is crucial to confirm that the extender has the most recent firmware and has been successfully configured, as well as that the connection from the source is solid. The extender should be placed between the source and the device or area that needs coverage.
In addition, we'd like to have our 2nd Level Team look into this. Email LinksysCares@linksys.com with the link to your review and any other pertinent information for our reference.

Made the connection worse than without it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to get a little extended range on my WiFi router to keep the speed up in a room at the opposite end of the house. The “stronger” connection was slower than the weaker connection. I tried using it both wirelessly and wired to the router with it placed closer to the distant room. No luck. I need to return it if Best Buy is accepting returns.

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well, when it works. Often drops connection. Not sure if I just got a bad one or what. Upgraded to a stronger router.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDidnt do what I needed, but sure it is probably go
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably good, just wasnt exactly what I needed. Range was too far away from room to room to effectively extend my router to do what I needed

Posted .Hi, Air23,
The Linksys RE6300 range extender should extend the range up to 6,500 sq ft. You can use the Spot finder technology of the extender to help ensure your Linksys range extender is in the right spot to extend the Wi-Fi.

Works like a charm
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took me a while to get it to work because it didn’t work by synchronization of the Wifi protected set up for me. I used the Browser setup and it worked. Highly recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat but!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this item. I have spots in my home that wifi does not fully get to. This allows the strength of the signal to travel and cover those parts of my home

Junk
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Device doesn’t work as intended. Took a long time for it to connect. Shows connected router but it’s not. The one time it did connect it couldn’t extend the signal more than 2 feet from the router. Now it doesn’t work at all. Data transfer speeds the one time it did work were 1.5Mbps

Waste of money. Worked for 1-2 days
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cumbersome set-up, directions not complete. Once finally got connected had to find best spot in house and that is hit or miss. then seemed to finally have everything set up and passwords set, devices connected. It lasted maybe 2 days. Now cannot get it synced with internet. Waste of money - past window to return so will go in trash.

So so
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It kinda goes off and on, you have to occasionally reconnect it, but it’s good

Posted .Hi,
If the connection directly from the router is stable, you might want to check the firmware version of the extender as it greatly affects the overall performance of the device. Keeping it up to date might help. If not, let’s have our Escalation Engineers look into this further. Just email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact information and a link to this review as our reference.
