Marginal WIFI Range Improvement at Best
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is pretty worthless in my opinion. If it improves the WiFi range, it is so minuscule as to be barely detectable. I have moved it multiple times and it still does not improve the signal in my attached garage (separated by a single wall). I had hoped it would make it easier to use my Chamberlain WiFi enabled garage door opener and camera.

Posted .Hi,
The Linksys RE6300 range extender is compatible with any router. Make sure that the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band is broadcasting for the extender to connect. For further assistance, you can reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with the link to this review for our reference.

Not good extender. Signal drop out
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Linksys - AC750 Boost Wireless Range Extender - White to extend the WIFI for the whole house. Installation is also not very user friendly. After successfully connected to my cable modem the Signal keeps dropping out ocasionally. Not very reliable. My kids kept complaining that their phone data was used up quickly because of the WiFi drop out. Will not recommend the product to any I know.

Posted .Hi,
This is a very unusual behavior for the range extender. There is a possibility that interference between your main router and the range extender is what's causing the intermittent signal. With a few adjustments on the router and the extender, you should be able to achieve the performance that you are expecting.
Send us your contact details at LinksysCares@linksys.com and we'll have our Escalation Engineers assist you further. Don't forget to include the link to this post for our reference.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Don’t be cheap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, I couldn’t get mine to work properly. After setting up my 2.4 and 5 network, I placed the extender well within 1000 sqft of my router and the signal wouldn’t connect. After the 4th or 5th trying, I was finally able to connect to my 2.4 ext network at a much, much reduced speed (5-10 mbps). I could not get into the extended 5 network and the gig port did not work (was hoping the direct plugin would balance things out). Spend the extra money and get a better device.

Posted .Hi, DTeg,
It could be that the extender couldn’t get an optimum connection from the router. It should get at least three WiFi bars. Try moving it closer and if that won’t help, we’ll have our Escalation Engineers assist you further. Just send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com. Don’t forget to include your contact information and a link to this review as our reference.

I would recommend this to a friendNever had luck with this company's products
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 2nd time I've tried This brand. The 1st was the actual Wi-Fi router and it would never send out a signal you could connect to. This was just a repeater it would show on the list but you couldn't connect to it either and when you did it didn't have Internet.

No More Dead Spots
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are a couple ways to setup the wireless range extender, Browser-based, using wifi or ethernet. The other way is using WPS. The instructions are included in the box and its very easy to setup. I went with the Ethernet cable, I plugged a CAT5 into the range extender and the other end into my computer to set it up. Like i said it was very easy, I just went to 192.168.1.1 and followed the instructions. Once I had it configured I placed it in my garage, I then went to the back of my house where I could never get a 5ghz wifi connection and I was able to get 85mbps download and 25mbps upload. I was shocked that I went from not being able to see my 5ghz network to those speeds. I also went to my mailbox and was able to stay connected to the 5ghz network and still reach speeds of 50/20. So pretty much any where in my yard I can have a connection, not to mention walk down the street and still have a connection. I had no issues streaming music, or watching youtube on any of the 2.4 or 5 ghz networks. The range extender is easy to setup and use. I no longer have to worry about dead spots in my house. I did receive this as a free sample from Linksys in exchange for your honest feedback.
I would recommend this to a friend Doesn’t ever connect properly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product was mediocre at best. I don’t have a large house, but I apparently have a dead spot in one room. The WiFi extender would not connect with the button on the side, I had to use the web page to get it to connect. Even when I managed to get it connected, it never had a good signal. The light on the front was always yellow(amber) which indicates a poor connection. Buy at your own risk.

Posted .Hi Brent,
The range extender works best if placed between the main router and where you want to extend the Wi-Fi signal. We can have our Second Level Technicians assist you with further troubleshooting to improve its range.
Just send us your contact details at LinksysCares@linksys.com so that we can escalate your case. Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.

Posted .Hi,
Your experience is quite unusual as the RE6300 extender should work with most routers. Moreover, we regret to know that you already returned the device as we could’ve had our Escalation Engineers check what caused the challenge. If you decide to use a Linksys product again next time, please know that we’re just an email away at LinksysCares@linksys.com should the need arise. The team would be happy to lend you a hand.

Posted .Hello, Ellen,
The Linksys RE6300 will allow you to extend the range of your router’s wireless connection. However, we must consider obstructions that may cause connection issues. Please make sure that the extender is getting atleast 50 percent of the connection from the router on the area where it was placed. We also recommend to power cycle it, and update us over email on how it goes at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact information, so we can have you assisted by our Escalation Engineers. You may send the link of this review too, for our reference.
