Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to install and so far efficient Good product fo the price.

Overall I was very impressed with the ease with which I was able to set this range extender up as well as the performance. The set-up worked flawlessly, the RE6300 has not lost the router signal once and I’m now seeing the same performance at corners of my home that I also get right next to the router. I have never seen this performance with any other range extender. I received a free sample from Linksys in exchange for my honest feedback and I'm glad I did. This is the 3rd range extender that I have tried. With the prior two, the set-up was difficult and they would often lose the network and stop working. In addition, the data bandwidth was usually much lower than when positioned close to my router. The RE6300 set-up without any headaches, the coverage is great, I’m seeing the same performance on the edge of my home as near the router and it has been working flawlessly. I have a home that has many dead zones and it can take time to position the router and expander for full coverage. The RE6300 has spot finder in the web-based tool that was very helpful in positioning the router far enough away to maximize my coverage, but yet keep a good connection to the router. You can set-up the RE6300 by using WPS or by connecting to its built-in Wi-Fi network that shows up as the default settings. I tried both since I used it at my home and a friend wanted to try it out at his home as well. Both modes worked flawlessly and were amazingly easy. I have struggled many times trying to configure extenders and changing settings after they are connected has usually been a big hassle. When you set-up the RE6300 with WPS, it automatically creates a new network for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. It adds _Ext to each of your current networks so that if you had 2 Wi-Fi networks (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz), you will now have 4. This is actually helpful because you need to connect to the extender Wi-Fi to access the settings and find the best location for it. Once you have the Extender positioned for the maximum performance, you can then change the settings on the RE6300 so that it uses the same settings as the router. I like to do this so that I do not need to make any changes to the many things in my home connecting to my Wi-Fi. Or you can just keep 4 Wi-Fi networks and just connect to the best one. Warning: Don’t check the box to make the RE6300 have the same settings as the Router until you get the RE6300 set-up in the right location. When the RE6300 has the same settings, it is hard to make sure you are on the RE6300 network vs the Router when you need to change the RE6300 settings. It’s not impossible, just much harder. Setting-up the RE6300 using a browser really wowed me over. No software or needing to use an Ethernet cable to connect directly to the RE6300. The RE6300 puts out its own Wi-Fi network as the factory default and all you need to do is connect to that network to configure it. It was amazingly easy. But once again I will warn you. Don’t check the box to make the RE6300 have the same settings as the Router until you get the RE6300 set-up in the right location. When the RE6300 has the same settings, it is hard to make sure you are on the RE6300 network vs the Router when you need to change the RE6300 settings. It’s not impossible, just much harder.

Excellent router. It is simple to hook up hasn't given me any problems in the two months I have had it installed.

It was easy to set up and works fine, but the unit has to be closer than I thought is would have to be to the access point. It makes the Internet go all the way to the back of our cottage. This unit is 20 feet or so from the access point and improves the Internet for another 25 feet.

Great product to expand WiFi without big cost. Easy to set up with existing equipment. Recommended by Geek Squad.

I bought this to hopefully extend the range of my wifi. Initial setup was easy. However, this extender would often get buggy and I had issues with consistency. Next time, I would go with a better option.

Purchased this to increase the signal for my smart TV. Now I am able to enjoy shows without a buffering delay!

Awesome tech. It took my laptop upstairs from 20Mbps to 246Mbps!!!! The WiFi is at the bottom of my stairs and the extender was placed on a wall inside a bedroom on the second floor. It gave me 10x the speed! It is super easy to set up too!

I like that fact that when I set up the extender and had to contact customer service, they were very helpful. Walk me through the entire process. I had a different extender previously but did not do a set up like this. It gives me the signal I need.

My son easily installed the Linskys Boost Range Extender in order for the wifi to work better at our home. Using this device was more economical and less of a headache to deal with. I would recommend this device to anyone wanting a boost in your wifi.

Needed to extend the range of my wifi network to reach to the front porch area. This product did the job and did it well!

We are happy with this product and internet coverage through the whole house and outside patio improved a lot

I had a weak WiFi signal in my two story apartment. My router is upstairs and the signal downstairs is very weak but since I got the Linksys everything room in the place has a perfect signal. It’s super easy to install and it takes about five minutes. It really changed my life.

Easy to setup and get going. Option of bridging using wifi or CAT5 is good. Problem is some of your devices get stuck between the router and this extender. The hand off is not good and sometimes mess up connection to your device

I was very happy with how well this worked, but I didn’t really need it once I realized why my wi-fi was being spotty. Otherwise, I would have gladly kept it.

I was really impressed with how easy this extender made it to get a strong WiFi signal. I’ve been having connection issues with my laptop ever since we moved here and this solved it! Also like that it identifies which signal you are connecting to so you can choose the one you want.

I've had this wifi extender for a couple months now, it was very simple to setup and I haven't had any trouble with it.

We purchased this to boost the wi fi experience in the house. We have been very pleased with the results.

Works well must if the time. Sometimes I have to re-enter the password.

Easy setup, helpful in boosting the wifi signal inside and outside the house. I placed one inside the home and placed one in my garage, now the signal from my internet reaches my equipment in the detached workshop.
