Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

It was amazing at first, but kept dropping my wifi signal and internet connection.

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

easy to set up and works well. Set it up on opposite side of house from the router and it seems to be working well and has really boosted my signal.

Set up instructions were easy to follow. Actual set up was quick and simple. Has helped in using streaming and on demand service as well as speeding up phone use through internet.

Good product but did not work with my system. Just not compatible

Works well. We needed a better wifi signal upstairs with the router downstairs this product worked as described. Easy to connect as well.

Works really good, I am now ale to get a pretty good wifi signal into my back bedroom

Easy to set up, and max power from different levels of home. Gave cell service, TV, and tablet faster service since the main Linksys is located upstairs in the office.

The Linksys AC750 Boost Range Extender did not work with my gateway. I tried several times but it never initialized and would not connect. I'm sure it works with other systems but it didn't work with mine.

This is an amazing product when your standard WiFi just becomes weak in areas of your home. I placed mine about 25 yards away and now get max strength anywhere in my home back yard included

This is perfect to extend my WiFi to the back of our house. The stucco walls were preventing our regular device from getting through. Easy to set up. Works well!!

This really helps to boost the speed at my home. I have a wireless connection in one unit and i installed this extender in another unit. The range is great.

I purchased Linksys as Netgear extenders wrtr not available or in stock at the time. I figured one was as good as the other. The Linksys extender works wonderful in my house compared to Wifi Xtra-Boost purchased over the internet which didn't work. Learned a great lesson to not believe internet promoting products computer products not in reputable stores. Later, googling Xtra Boost extenders I learned that it may have been a scam as one reviewer said the product was no good. Should have explored that product before buying. Got caught in believing and not facts. PS, I usually rate products as "good" over "Excellent" as I haven't compared one with another. Good to me means product works with no problems!

Like other Linksys products this was super simple to setup and enable with no issues with the instructions. Dead areas of the house no have connectivity

Fairly easy to follow instructions that don’t work on the first attempt. Infrequent but sometimes annoying issues with lag and dropped connections from day one. Bandwidth has been okay, about half my service level. Recently, the usual restart didn’t work and a complete reset and reconfig was required. Dropped connections are now very frequent on some connected devices. More troubleshooting to go...

It took a bit to get set up as it wouldn't recognize the router even though it was within 3 feet of it. But once I was able to get it set up, it works well.

Great item works great and effortlessly set it up.

Boys are easily distracted so I have to strategically space my four sons throughout the house. Unfortunately I found that the internet was faster near the router. So this helped to balance out the reception.

It works as expected giving me extra range of signal for my backyard. Easy to install and simple to set up. Got this one after setting up a first one for my parents.
