This was a great upgrade from my original extender. I have an entertainment systems set up in a detached garage, and I now get uninterrupted signal from my router in the house!

We live in an older home (built in early 1900s), in which Wi-Fi signals don't travel well. This product was intended to remedy a dead zone, but hasn't worked consistently. It's definitely not a total bust, as it does work at times, but it's certainly annoying when it doesn't do the job.

Hi, Dave,
Once configured, the range extender is expected to provide a stable wireless connection and cover the dead zones. To isolate this, you can try relocating it and use the Spot Finder tool on the web interface to help you find its recommended location.
Please email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so that our Escalation Engineers can assist you in optimizing the device's performance.
Regards,
Irish Linksys Support

Bought this Wi-Fi extender to bring our internet signal to an area of our home that was a "dead zone". 90+% of the time this product did the trick. Even though it's not perfect, I would recommend it if anyone else has a similar problem.

The signal strength of my wifi was not strong enough to reach a video camera we mounted in our barn. We purchased this repeater to hopefully fix the issue. Once installed the signal strength was more than enough to finally use the camera.

So, after 15 years, I finally stopped renting the Comcast modem and bought my own (dumb, I know!). Of course, I didn't buy the top of the line and the wifi isn't as strong as the old modem so I needed an extender.
I went to the Boca Raton store and the associates were very helpful and recommended the Linksys AC1900. It was a breeze to set up and my devices that weren't getting a strong signal were able to pick up the Linksys. So far, so good.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for leaving your feedback. The best spot to put the extender is in between the router and the device that is not in range. A system reboot would help too. Feel free to email [email protected] should the issue persists. Please include your contact details and the link to your review for reference.
Regards,
Mara Linksys Support

After having trouble with accessing wifi on the lower level of my multi-story home, I was searching for a convenient, INEXPENSIVE way to get the service that I'm paying my cable company to receive. After doing research and then talking with a tech at Best Buy, I chose this LinkSys unit and hoped that what I had read online was not all hype. To my surprise, the unit connected easily and has given me full access to my wifi.
