Didn't work for me

did not work with Goggle HUB !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not link up with my goggle HUB router . I tried everything the manual recommended on the internet no luck ! Plus I read that these extenders use up some bandwidth when they are used so I returned it .

Posted .Hi John,
The extender is designed to increase the range of your wireless network and it shouldn’t affect the bandwidth that you’re getting from the router. We hope we had a chance to figure out why it didn’t work. If you ever change your mind and give our devices another chance, feel free to contact us for assistance at [email protected].

Wifi extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t do the work for what you pay. I tough it was gonna at least help a 50 % but no is not worth it
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Linksys Staff
Posted .Hi,
Thank you for the feedback. A wireless range extender captures and re-broadcasts the existing WiFi signal from your wireless router, so WiFi signal stability is critical. The most common issue with range extenders is proper placement; ideally, it should be between the WiFi source and the location where you want improved wireless coverage. It should be properly configured and have the most recent firmware.
Furthermore, our Second Level Team would be happy to assist. Email LinksysCares@linksys.com with the link to your review, your contact information, and any other relevant information.

Posted .Hi,
We highly recommend to place the extender in between the area without wireless connection and your router. Also, it should get at least fifty percent of the connection from the router. Our Escalation Engineers would like to assist you with it by sending us the details of the concern via email at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review, for our reference.

Doesn't Do a Thing!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Signal is always poor. My regular (non-extended) wifi is stronger and clearer. This thing was a waste of money as it has made zero improvements.

Posted .Hi, KeonG,
Thank you for your review, all feedback is important to us and we’re sorry to hear about your product experience. 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.

- Pros mentioned:Setup, Signal strength
Perfect solution
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My house is a graveyard for electronic signals. My two upstairs bedrooms weren't getting the benefit of my 5 GHz band at all and my 2.4 GHz band had the same signal strength I get when I'm a block away from my house on my router's side. I thought about getting a new router, the ones that cost $200 and are as big as a car. Linksys sent me a free RE6300 Wi-Fi Range Extender in exchange for an honest review so I thought I'd try that first. The setup guide was straight forward. My router has a WPS button so I used that method to set up the extender. In less than 3 minutes, I had a new extended network. Easiest setup of any device I've ever used. My Grandma could have done it. Really. The device's url page has a spot finder that can tell you if the place you plug your extender in is too close or far from your router to maximize the range and signal strength. The extender only uses up one lower plug of a duplex wall outlet. I now get a 5 bar very strong signal on every device when before the most I ever got was 3. The highest link speed before was 52 Mbs. Now I get 433 Mbs. I've only had the extender a week but so far it's been rock steady. No bugs. No restarts. No hiccups. I am very pleased with the RE6300 Wi-Fi Range Extender. It's less than half the cost of a new router and I've extended my network to a hard to cover area with a great leap in speed.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WiFi extender has to close to the router for it work perfectly. If the WiFi extender is too far from the router it looses signal sometimes

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t work for me. Kept interfering with overall Wi-Fi signal. Had to return it and just deal with the slow Internet in areas without a booster.
