Range doesn't seem right

Posted .Hi. We appreciate your time for sharing this feedback. One way to improve the signal of the range extender is by transferring the device to a strategic location. The best location for the device is just right at the edge of your main network signal so that you can maximize the range of the wireless network. You can also set a static wireless channel on your main router to minimize device interference. Should you need further assistance, feel free to email us at [email protected]. Please include the link to this review in the email for reference. We hope to hear from you soon.
Doesn’t Work for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was hoping it would increase the signal to our bedroom which is about 30 ft from the router. The rest of the home is ok with good coverage. But it didn’t do a thing so we still can’t have a usable signal. We just wasted money.

Posted .Hi,
The Linksys RE6300 range extender should work longer than described. You can try to plug the extender into a different wall outlet for isolation and reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with the link to this review for our reference, and we'll investigate your device further.

Did not extend range for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thought this would help broaden the range with my modem/router but since I was already getting weak signals, this made it even worse. Nor did it extend the range.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn't work.

Posted .Hi Suga,
We suggest you plug your Linksys RE6300 midway between your router that it should receive at least half of its connection and the area without Wi-Fi. Share with us its details then via email at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review for our reference, so we can have our Escalation Engineers look into this further.

Not much range
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to get WiFi in my detached garage which is only 40' from my house. The TV in my garage only gets signal 20% of the time and it's usually not very strong. Ended up buying a new one that works great.

Total junk
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It absolutely is a piece of worthless junk. I’m knowledgeable with electronics. This extender just doesn’t do the job and now sits in a drawer collecting dust. Best Buy has $54 of my money and I won’t e back! Ever.

brought to extend my wifi signal
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Appears to not be working correctly. Due to the current state of the US, I'm having difficulty trying to contact Linksys to resolve the problem. This maybe a good device but so far, very week and hard to keep on line.

Posted .Hi, Bmore,
Try to check if there’s a stable connection directly from the router. Updating the firmware and utilizing the spot finder technology might also help. Please provide us more details at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can check your network setup and provide you with recommendations to improve the overall performance of the device.

- Pros mentioned:Ease of use
Very Easy Setup
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received the Linksys RE6300 AC750 BOOST Wi-Fi Range Extender a few days ago, for free, via the Linksys Friends & Family Program. Our house is a two-story, 4-bedroom home so there are some areas with weak Wi-Fi reception - the master bedroom and the front room, so this would be a good test of the extender. Upon opening the box, one notices there is only the device, a foldout card with the setup instructions, the typical regulatory information booklet, and a sheet with the tech support number. While waiting on my daughter to get ready for school, I attempted to setup the device. Scanning over the Quick Start Guide, I used the Wi-Fi Protected Set (WPS) instructions. It couldn't have been any easier. In less than 10 minutes (closer to 5 to 7 minutes) I was logged onto the extended network. The device supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and I had set up both of them. Resetting the device, I then tried using the device's webpage to setup the range extender. This was also very easy as the webpage guides you through the process. There is also an aid to help you locate the device in your location for optimal performance. Once the device was set up again I ran some speed tests on the 4 different Wi-Fi connections I now had, the original 2.4 and 5 GHz and the extended 2.4 and 5 GHz in both my master bedroom and the front room. At both locations, the extended 2.4 GHz band was comparable to the speed of the original 2.4 GHz band but the extended 5 GHz band was at least double the speed of the original 5 GHz band at that location. The 5 GHz band was faster than both of the 2.4 GHz bands at each location. Of course your results will vary from mine but I am impressed with the improvement. I've had the extender for almost a week. During this time, I've noticed that the 5 GHz band has been consistently faster than the source 5 GHz. The 2.4 GHz extended band is sometimes faster and sometimes slower. Overall, I'm very happy with the product. It does what it set out to do and is very easy to setup right out of the box.

If the LED is still on, it is possible that the extender just needs to be reset and reconfigured. Please get in touch with us at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can look into this closely. Include your contact information and a link to this review as a reference.

Wouldn't connect to my system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not knocking the item as I'm sure it will work with other routers. My router didn't have what I think was referred to the "KPD?" button on the back and wuldn't sync after the second step of instructions. Returned for $$$ back. I'm happy.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried this exactly as the instructions said to. Put it in multiple locations between router and devices I wanted to connect to, results varied between no increase in signal (5 mbps) to not connecting at all.
