WiFi signal
||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

- 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 .Hi, JMeb,
The range extender might be too far to receive the Wi-Fi signal of the router and extend it. You can try to relocate the device close to the router or using the spot finder feature of the device to help locate the best spot to place the extender.

Posted .Hi Pam39503,
The range extender still requires a good signal from your router to work properly. It works best when placed between where you want to extend the network and your main router. This setup should maximize your Wi-Fi connectivity.
If you need assistance with the configuration, we can have our Second Level Technicians contact you.
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.
