Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very good product. Easy to set up and works well.

Good but think I was expecting better coverage in my house

We were having issues with getting internet on one side of our home. Noone could stay connected on their devices if they were on that side of our house. After spending a good deal of time talking to a customer service representative, we decided on this product. After following directions on where to plug this device in the house, we connected our devices to the extender. We are now able to receive internet service throughout the house. The reason for 4 star rating is that it does cut out once in awhile and can be slow at times.

Works great! This was a great purchase for the price!

Excellent product, excellent connection, with no lagging,

This is a good product I bought this for my son and he love it

Works good. It's a geat product. The brand name is reliable.

Very good quality fast internet but hard to put together at first

I've had the Linksys RE7000 for about 3 weeks now, and so far, so good. I have it paired up to a new EA9500 router and connection couldn't have been simpler. No need to use the included CD with the packaging. Simply plug in the range extender into the power outlet and wait for the blinking green light to finish it's initial configuration process. When ready, press the WPS button on the side. The RE7000 will start to blink orange. Then, press the WPS button on the side of your router and once the orange light stops blinking, and turns solid green, the two will be connected to each other and you are good to go. You can then move the RE7000 to another part of the room/house/office and then go into your wifi settings on the device you wish to pair and select the same name as the router you ordinarily use, but this time look for the one with EXT on the end. This will be your extended range network. Once connected you should see notable improvements in your wifi signal strength and speed of upload/download. With a suggested range of 10,000 ft, I expected this product to work well in my 2,400 sq ft home. I've tried it in a few different outlets without a problem. Connection remains strong throughout my house. The only downside I could see might be the price point for some people, as it is definitely not the cheapest on the market, however, you are getting MU-MIMO connection, supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz extended networks, and a claimed 10,000 sq ft of coverage, so it is a powerful little beast! Overall I would recommend this product, especially if you have a MU-MIMO router (basically allows all connected devices to have an equal slice of the wifi signal) and the RE7000 now allows that great connectivity to extend further around your property, and even outside in your front or back yard!

I use this to create a network in my RV. Sometimes as a repeater. Sometimes as an access point connected to a high gain antenna/ repeater to pull in weak signals. It's easy to reconfigure as we travel around and connect to various wifi networks and witch between repeater and accesspoint modes.

Booth this to boost my WiFi as my router is in the basement and XBox and home office on the second floor. It seems to be doing the job just fine. Adequate performance though more would always be nice.

Very easy to set up and has more than doubled my coverage area with an actual gain in speed.

Most of the time it works great! Other times it doesn't work. I don't know what it is and why I have to keep disconnecting it and reconnecting it just to get it to work. It takes about a minute for it to reconnect but I have to do it at least once every other day or so. It's not as reliable as I thought it was. The longer I use it the more consistent the problem seems to be. Like I said when it works it's great but I fear as time goes on it's going to get worse.

Works great! Our internet hasn’t dropped since we got this!

It was easy to set up and works great. It took care of my need to extend my Wi-Fi and network.

When it worked, it was great. However, the signal would unexpectedly drop off and there would be no internet connection. That makes streaming video problematic because you lose parts of what you are watching. Setup is interesting. You are instructed to find the halfway point between your WiFi router and your device that you are using. Is the halfway point based on distance or signal strength due to obstructing walls. I tried it in various locations. The signal still got dropped unexpectedly on multiple devices. I did not try a line connection.

Background information: Modem and Router are located on ground floor. Extender has been installed in the basement that is completely underground. Pros: 1. Faster speeds - Without the extender, the speeds in the basement were 2.2 Mbps down and 0.5 Mbsp up. After installing the extender in the basement, the speeds are now 13.8 Mbps down and 0.9 Mbps up. This is consistent with the speeds I get in other areas of the house that is within the router's coverage. 2. Increased coverage - With my old Belkin router, I did not have good coverage in the basement of my house that is completely underground. This wi-fi extender increased the range and speed in the basement. I get full coverage and consistent speeds in all areas of the basement. 3. Easy set-up - Setting up the Linksys extender from unboxing to connected status took less than 15 minutes. The instructions are straightforward. The extender settings and management site has an easy to use interface. You can manage all of the security settings on this site. This extender works with all routers. 4. Features - The Linksys extender has an ethernet port. The extender also has simultaneous dual-band support (one 2.4 GHz band and one 5 GHz band). The extender can be used in two ways, as a regular wi-fi coverage extender or as a wired access point. 5. Size - The Linksys extender is compact and lightweight, making it easy to move around if needed. Cons: 1. Price - This is a premium extender and is priced accordingly. Depending on your needs, a cheaper/less powerful extender may be sufficient for your needs. You should consider this extender if you: -Have a large home/office area that has inconsistent speeds/coverage or dead zones. -Have additional needs/demands that only a premium range extender can handle.

I'm very happy with my wifi extender. It was very easy to set up and works great! Highly recommended!

works great for distance, easy to install and worth the money

Easy to set up and use and made such a difference!
