Customer Ratings & Reviews

My wireless router is upstairs so I needed something to extend the range. This device was easy to pair with my router and now I don't have to worry about my downstairs devices buffering.

this product works fine, now i run mine to extend a wifi through a brick wall to run a tv in the garage, so i have to adjust the ears on it at times but it works fine

I bought a different model first, which had directions (apparently) for this model. Couldn't get that to work, but then bought this. Fairly simple to set up, and works as advertised.

very nice buster for my internet we love now i have signal ever room...

I have purchased a total of three of these devises for home and business use. They work great and are easy to install. For the speed and ease of use, the price is also very low.

We probably will need something fancier but this has been a big help to helping the wi-fi reach from the router that is one end of the house and the bedrooms on the other side of the house. The device works perfectly and the only issue we have is with our internet provider system itself.

It works great 90% of the time. But every so often will just cut off the internet and you have to reconnect. Which can be a pain. Otherwise it works great if you need to extend your range. Helps us when we use the projector in the backyard

I purchased this item because I have a real problem with the wifi signal at home for my PC, the home has a dead spot where my room is located and the router is located in a different part of the house. I bought this and installed immediately and the signal was picked up immediately by my PC. It was very easy to install, the instructions are very clear, it did take a couple of trips to and fro the router to make sure it worked. My IPad and phone also fed off the extender signal, so it did the job. I'd recommend if you want something that is inexpensive and easy to use at home. Very convenient and the price is right!

I have the AC1900 base for home wifi and added this to go along with it. I probably don't even need this range extender for the house but I do have a room that is the furthest away which has xbox and streaming dvd player so it helps to get the maximum out of the upstairs remote room.

I was worried about having trouble setting this up. But it was so easy. It’s on the other side of the house literally and has incredible strength.

The router didn’t pick up in some parts of the house so I needed it for the internet connection.

Needed wi-fi extender to enable five camera outdoor security system to work more efficiently. Simply plug extender into wall outlet positioned as close as possible to out door cameras. Has to sync with wireless router.

Got this to boost a signal from my router out to some outdoor security cameras across the property. Worked flawlessly and didn’t lose much through put. It was easy to set up too. Highly recommend.

Super easy to set up. It really solved my wifi needs around the house. It has a technology that even tells you the correct place to install it! Awesome product for a non-tech girl here :).

With WFH, we have increased our traffic on our router. This extender was easy to set up and has enabled a farther reach for our speaker set up outside our house to the deck.

A little tricky for a non techie like me but it really works well.

Easy to setup and use. Could not see any improvement right away but ran speed test and there was an improvement. Was pleased with unit after a week of use.

Worked fine when I first set it up. After a couple of weeks it started losing connection. It continued to lose connection more and more often. Today it quit completely. It won't even show a power light. When unplugged it was very hot. Now I'm past the return date. Don't waste your money!

I’m renting a converted garage and I use the WiFi from the house. In the few months I’ve been renting, the WiFi went from barely tolerable to almost nothing. Netflix went from buffering occasionally on standard definition to barely a slideshow. I did some research and this extender came highly rated. I couldn’t be happier. Installation is a snap. I didn’t even have to bother the people renting the house. All you need is to have the WiFi password and the unit does the rest. I’m now getting consistently above 50 mbps. And buying online and picking up in the store is easy and fast.

The Linksys line of gear is notable but they tend not to have readily accessible documentation or videos to show some of the more "tricky" setups. So even a seasoned user setting up one of these can get tripped up because of the lack of information. If your the typical home user and your not going to worry about all the security settings or only install the minimal such as password login protection then it'll probably be a snap but if your a seasoned veteran and you plan to activate all protection schemes then get ready. For instance, if your router is setup to "reject" MAC addresses (which protects intruders from tapping into your internet service) then be sure you load the correct MAC addresses for BOTH channels (2.4 and 5) for the extender to access the router. The MAC address printed on the box label is useless in this case, something Linksys needs to document and explain better. You will need to obtain the correct MAC addresses for both channels by properly accessing your router and extender and applying them to your setup. Confused, call Linksys tech support, hopefully they'll understand your situation correctly the FIRST time around and get right to the point of fixing you up. The first extender I received was actually deemed defective by the Linksys tech (but was perfectly good as noted later) wasting better than a week and shipping fees. On the second round with seasoned veterans on both ends of the phone it took a while to sort out the communications (what the situation was) before realizing incorrect MAC addresses were being applied to the equipment setup because of the lack of documentation and explanation (you see, 1st level tech support doesn't typically get hit with the whole nine yards right off the bat, the first tech kept putting me on hold to confer with his boss about the more sophisticated setup that exceeded his ability). Otherwise even a sophisticated setup would be a snap (with a seasoned veteran or maybe even the home user who should really get in the habit of totally securing their home network). Overall, Linksys extenders are very good to have around making TV's and other equipment not buffer data so much because the signals are weak and getting garbled causing the equipment to request the data be sent again and again. Remember it's a RADIO! Even though you can't hear it imagine trying to listen to an AM radio one dark and stormy night far far away. It's a BUMMER and no different, in a way. Working great so far, get one!
