Doesn't work for my purpose
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Wi-Fi extender seems to work for smart phone, but we bought it to use a tv outside. Maybe the tv is not good, but the extender does nothing to strengthen the Wi-Fi for the tv.

Posted .Hi, Jeff,
It is possible that the placement of the range extender is affecting the signal in the room where your television is located. You can try relocating it and use its Spot Finder feature on the setup process to help you find the right spot. For further assistance, please email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so that our Escalation Engineers can contact you.

Posted .Hello, Annan,
If you encounter dropping connection behind the Linksys RE6300, then please try to relocate it near to your router, or make sure that it gets enough connection from the router at least 50% of the signal, and is located midway between the area without wireless network and the router. Update us then over email so we can have this taken care by our Escalation Engineers at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review, for our reference.

Posted .Hi,
Although physical obstructions will affect the range of the extender, it should still at least help you to extend the coverage that the router cannot reach anymore. Proper placement might do the trick. Please get in touch with us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can help you further around this. Just include the relevant details and a link to this review as our reference when you reach out.

Posted .Hi Manda,
Adding a Range Extender will expand your network coverage. As for the speed, it will depend on the bandwidth that you're subscribed to and your network environment.
Making sure that the range extender is placed within the Wi-Fi range of the wireless router may help resolve the issue. Nonetheless, our Escalation Engineers would be more than glad to help improve your Linksys RE6300 overall performance. Just email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com, along with your contact details and the link to this review as our reference.

Posted .Hi cake,
This is an odd behavior of the device. It is possible that the RE6300 is too far from your main router. Try to bring it closer and check if the connection improves.
If you continue to experience the same challenges, we can have our Second Level Technicians contact to provide further troubleshooting.
Just send us your contact details at [email protected] so that we can escalate your case. Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.
We hope to hear from you soon.

There could be multiple factors that are causing the intermittent signal from the range extender. It is possible that interference is affecting the range of the device.

Posted .Hi, JimW,
The Linksys RE6300 WiFi Extender can extend your existing wireless coverage up to 6500 sq. ft. However, we could have tried to relocate the extender and update the firmware for isolation.

- Pros mentioned:Performance, Setup
Quick Start
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My network already consists of a Linksys WRT1900ACS Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router with Ultra-Fast 1.6 GHz CPU, two Linksys Media Hubs w/1 TB HD and LCD card readers, a Linksys WUMC710 Wireless-AC Bridge, a Linksys RE6500 AC1200 Dual-Band Wireless Range Extender, a Linksys RE6700 AC1200 AMPLIFY Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender, more than a dozen Linksys WMP600N Dual-Band Wireless-N PCI Adapters, a Linksys AE6000 Wireless-AC Mini USB Adapter, a Linksys WUSB6300 AC1200 Wireless-AC USB Adapter, and a wide assortment of other network connected wired and wireless devices. I added this Linksys RE6300 AC750 BOOST Wi-Fi Range Extender to eliminate the dead zone in the mudroom next to the garage in my six-bedroom split-level home. I used the spoon fed directions in the Quick Start Guide to easily do a quick and dirty setup because I was anxious to get the party started. After that I accessed my range extender settings after WPS to make a couple of tweaks to improve security and performance. I changed the default admin password from "admin" in Administration, Management, Extender Access and then I changed Automatic Configuration - DHCP to Static IP into Wireless, Basic Settings, Extender IP Address. Overall, it was a positive installation and configuration.
I would recommend this to a friend I was expecting more from the brand and price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a couple months of use, this WiFi extender is very glitchy and unreliable. When I first purchased the device, setup was very easy and it worked okay. From day one, the speed on the 5G channel was sluggish, maybe the same or slower than the 2.5 G channel. This extender worked worse than a cheapo Netgear extender from Target. The only positive is that the extender has an ethernet port.

Posted .Hi, Toroman146,
Is your WiFi SSID set to broadcast? The extender might encounter a difficulty in connecting if the SSID is hidden. Try rebooting the router and if that won’t help, reset the extender and try setting it up again. Let us know how it goes at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can give you a hand. Don’t forget to include your contact information and a link to this review as our reference when you reach out.
