Good, not quite good enough
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This range extender is good, but sometimes the signal is lost for a brief secs, I don't know if it's normal or what.

Posted .Hi JMSierra,
We appreciate the time you spent in sharing your experience with us and definitely you should not be losing a signal from it. How far is the extender from the wireless router? Here are the possible solutions that you can do:
* Place it in an area where there is still a good connection from the router.
* Use a handheld device (phone or tablet) to check for your router's signal strength. Once you can find a place where there is still 2-3 bars signal, then that's the perfect location for your extender.
* Manually update or re-flash the firmware.
Let us know how it goes at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details, location, and the link to this review for reference.
Regards,

Garbage. Worked less than 1 month.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing was a total waste of money. All it does is blink green. Will not even reset. I've held the reset button for minutes at a time to no avail. Also, none of the troubleshooting on Linksys websites even address the issue.

Does not pick up router well
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With everyone in our house now working or schooling remotely we needed a "boost" to our wifi range. I bought this thinking I could connect it and have the extension we needed in other areas of the house. I set it up and seemed to have a good connection with a green light and all, but when I moved the extender I didn't get a strong connection and a yellow light designation on the extender, so I still continue getting knocked off my wifi. This, apparently, is not the solution I need. Very frustrating considering we have a LinkSys router, too.

Great!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My bedroom is pretty far from the router. I’m always having trouble turning my hue lights on and off and streaming stuff. My internet signal went from “weak” to “excellent.” I no longer have any problems with connectivity.

Did not work
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this wi-fi booster to help us increase our strength. We tried all day and could not get this item to work This Linksys AC750 could not even recognize our Linksys Router, we called the help line number on the box and the women we talked to could hardly speak english. She finally said someone would call us back, guess what no one called us. Would not recommend this to anyone .

Do not expect to use with MAC Filtering
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy has always been great so this review does not reflect on them. I purchased the LINKSYS AC750 Range Extender to improve WiFi service on my home network. After numerous hours of repeated installations and hard re-sets, and one Chat with Linksys, I was able to get the extender to connect. It worked fine until I engaged the MAC authentication filter on my network. Then I lost connection which could not be resestablished until the MAC filtering was turned off. I called Linksys Technical support for assistance and was told that this was a "Known" issue and I would need to wait 24 hours for someone to call me back and provide a solution for this "Known" issue. A Customer's time is valuable. If this was a known issue and there is a solution then provide it quickly. I did check for a firmware update or other downloads from Linksys but nothing was available. The equipment is being returned today, thank goodness for Best Buy's return policy.

The most frustrating product ever... DO NOT BUY
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This range extender not only throttles your connection by 60% when it is 10 feet from your router, but when 50 feet from your router throttles up to 90% of your connection! I have written this review twice now because my range extender has recently taken up the hobby to reset every 2 minutes or so. I personally am someone who plays video games as a hobby and assuming at least one person who will read this is or someone who values their own time in any way, shape, or form, I FULLY RECOMMEND NOT BUYING THIS. As I said, right out of the box it sent my in home connection from 210mb/s to around 70mb/s just testing it literally 10 feet from our router. When moved farther away with nothing but a single wall in between, my connection dropped to 13mb/s and varied after from 13mb/s to 19mb/s which is completely unacceptable. The product is up to date, it is in a fairly close range, and it still ceases to work. Absolute waste of both money and time. The fact that it is only a couple weeks out of the box and it has stopped working is a telltale sign for me never to buy from this brand again. I will now be switching to a google mesh wifi systems in hopes I will never have to deal with anything like this again. Completely unacceptable.

Did not work
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This did not work for my application. I followed the steps and set up the Linksys AC750 unit to broadcast my 2.4 G and 5G networks and had them both appearing in my available networks. When I then moved the unit to an "ideal" location where I needed better signal I could only get the blinking amber light. The only ideal location that would work was about 15 feet away from my router. This doesn't help. The other issue is, this unit comes with an ethernet port to plug into. Absolutely nowhere in the instructions is this port ever mentioned as to how to set up. Assuming this was because it was simply plug and play...this did not work either. I have no idea how this unit provides any useful wifi extension.

Posted .Hello Curt,
The RE6300 extender's setup process should be easy and straightforward. You should also be getting an excellent coverage for your extended network. Moreover, the Ethernet port can indeed be used to configure the unit. Allow our Escalation Engineers to check your setup and assist you further. Email us at [email protected] and provide your contact details with the link of your review as reference.
Hoping to hear from you soon.

Incompatible, waste of time
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Followed both set up options (WPS and browser based setup). after multiple seemingly successful setups and connections never could get functional WiFi despite strong and reliable signal from router. After 2 sessions with Linksys customer service they finally determined their was an incompatibility issue with their device and my standard router from spectrum. 2 hours of time wasted trying and retrying setup and another hour of time walking through the same steps with Linksys customer service at a glacial pace before they did the compatibility check and identified the problem. I initiated both customer service sessions asking that they check compatibility first. Moving on to a different manufacturers product.

Not the range I expected
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish my experience was as good as many of the others. My house is only 2100 SF but it's 2 story and my router is in the front corner so nothing downstairs works and this extender doesn't help it any. I've put in about 5 different spots and still no luck.
