Easy to install and setup. Easy to connect to my router.

I completed installation of the repeater but I have not noticed any change in performance.

My router (Linksys EA-9500) sits in the very center of my single story house so I get good and fast coverage though out. However, there is one corner of my house which has an NVIDIA Shield that sometimes struggles when streaming games over wireless so I was hoping this extender would fix those issues. With just my router, the stream will sometimes drop from 1080p down to 540p. I used the WPS feature of the range extender to get it connected to my router and placed it right next to the gaming console. The results were not good at all. The extender comes with a handy feature called "Spot Finder" which helps you determine where you should place the router. It told me that I had placed it way too far so I moved it a room closer to the router and found that I had the same issue. Too far. I moved it to a hallway just outside the great room where the main router is located. The Spot Finder told me I had found a good location. I tried the game again and immediately it reported that I had a less than stellar connection and after a few minutes the game just errored out due to connectivity issues. In fact, on each attempt, the game would die when I tried to stream using the wireless mode of the range extender. My games never quit using only the router's connection, they would only dip in resolution from time to time. To be fair, streaming games at 1080p is probably the most taxing thing you can do to test a network. Streaming video, even at higher resolutions such as 4K, will buffer the video so that as long as your connection is fast enough you shouldn't see any issues once the stream gets going. A game on the other hand, streams in real time. Your controller input decides the next frame of video so buffering is not possible. So for my use case, this extender did not work out, which is why I deducted a star. Understand though that I tested it to its limits and I would still recommend it to anyone who has a dead spot they are trying to eliminate as some connectivity is certainly better than none. Using the extender for normal web browsing worked fine. Even a speedtest showed that I was getting my maximum internet speed. So for general use you likely won't have any problems. I did try out the extender in wired mode as well and found much better results. In this mode, you put the extender in the room where you have a dead spot and connect it your router using that room's ethernet port (if your house is wired for it). Unfortunately, mine is not. However, I did test with a 50ft cable and determined I could stream the game at a consistent 1080p when in wired mode and the range extender was in the same room as the game console. PROS: - Easy to setup with WPS feature - Even easier to setup with a Linksys Router - Wired mode works as expected - Spot finder feature helps you accurately place the extender for best results. CONS: - High demand streaming can be problematic over wireless - With no external antennas the actual range of this extender can be limited.

Purchased to assist with WiFi range but we were not able to tell any difference so we returned it.

The Linksys Max Stream is grate, can grate wi-fi eniwhare

did not work right for me, maybe not doing something right - in my junk box

Nice and steady connection, no issues and streams without buffering

Works in the lower auditorium room while a block by walls, thanks.

pain to hook up, slows speed down and disconnects constantly

Great signal booster. Works well for my upstairs in an old house

It helped my range but it still lagged behind as i went further away from it. The extension service was so so.

This product is amazing.It has extended my bandwidth 100%

Never a moment that skips. Signal always available

Works ok didn't give me the signal strength to out side as well as I hope for great for indoor Extender
