Great range extender.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up. Just wish that you did not have to swap back and forth between router and extender. It should automatically switch you back and forth depending on signal strength.

Great Range extender
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was having trouble getting a wireless signal in one of my bedrooms for a desktop computer and this acted as a relay for the signal. Now internet is super fast

Did not work
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I could not get this device to work. The password given did not work, and I had no luck with customer service. Getting the device to establish a connection was no help because device had to be in the same room as router.

Did not increase signal strength
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It did not improve my 5g signal strength. During the setup, it keep telling me to move the extender further away from my router, but any further and it would have been at my neighbors house.

Posted .Hi 123rs,
Supposedly, the Spot Finder Technology feature of your RE7000 Extender should guide you where to properly position the device at least 50% from your router's Wi-Fi for optimal Wi-Fi coverage. If you still have the item, reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can get you over to one of our Escalation Engineers for further assistance. In your email, include your contact details and the link to this review for easy reference.

Thought it was working but...
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because I didn't want an AP but an extension of my current Wi-Fi network. I liked the setup feature that allowed you to place the device in the optimal place, which I did so I was golden, right?. Since having the extender connected I was getting better wifi signal in our master bedroom via IPad and IPhone, which is what I was looking for. But the Amazon spot kept losing wifi signal when we were streaming siriusxm stations. I tried numerous reboots, of router, modem, extender, spot but it would always started doing it again. I do not remember this happening the first few weeks the extender was hooked up but it will not keep the spot connected now. I disconnected the extender and the spot never stops the stream now. I have to conclude that there is something wrong with the extender and after reading a lot of the reviews I'm not the only one that thinks this.

I don't know yet
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'll update my review as soon as I get this Linksys wifi extender connected. I've read the manual and I've watched youtube videos and I still can't get it. I got the light to turn solid green, but I can't connect to my wifi. It says I've entered the wrong password, but the password works when I unplug the extender. Anyway, I know it's the right password for my router. I need help!

1 floor 1700 sq ft did not have great connection
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After trying on many outlets, stable connection was not found for the entire place. Not close to 10,000 sq ft coverage indoors, more like 1,000 sq ft of reliable connection indoors but not great. Low connection quality occurs when using smartphones on wifi appx 15 ft away of extender.

Wouldn't connect.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not connect to my router. Spent over two hours trying to connect it and wasted time on with tech support who only suggested I return it and find something else. Not good.

If you don't have WPS on your router, avoid this.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just purchased this item and have tried multiple times to get the browser based setup to work. My router does not have WPS so that feature is of no use to me. Even with full bars this device cannot connect and transfer settings. It is not an issue of the password, tried that and get a message for mis-matched passwords, it just refuses to set up correctly. Returning for a refund.

If you still have the extender, you may try resetting it to factory defaults and go through the setup process again. If that won’t help, let’s have our Escalation Engineers check what might be causing the challenge instead.

literally degraded my home wifi ???
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i bought this wifi range extender from bestbuy hopping to improve wifi signal on second floor. It literally slowed my wifi speed to at least 50% lower. Incredible - i tried relocating it to various places in the house - all with same result. This device is like a scam what a waste of money. Will return very soon

Posted .Hi, Bendam,
This is not the expected performance of the RE7000, however, there are factors that also need to be considered such as wireless interference and physical obstructions. To optimize the extender, make sure that it is running on the latest firmware and utilize the Spot Finder Technology. If that won't help, please get in touch with us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and a link to this post so we can have our Escalation Engineers assist you.
