Posted .Hi, PatriciaC,
A proper placement plays an important role in using this extender. Make sure as well that it gets an optimum and stable connection from the router as it is dependent on it. Another way to boost its performance is to keep the firmware up to date.
If our recommendations won’t help, reach out to us at [email protected], so we can assist you further. Just include your contact information along with a link to this review as our reference.

The jury is still out.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After I first set it up it wasn't working very effectively but after several days of use it seemed to connect better and now seems to work as it should. I need to see if it continues to connect well with the signal.

Posted .Hi, Scott,
You should get a stable connection with the range extender once it is installed but perhaps there were factors that affected it. Should there be anything we can assist you with, do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] so we can get you to our Support team.

Wifi extender
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product. Easy to install. However, there is switching between router signal and repeater signal even after using the same SSID name.

Good for a large house
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Relatively easy to set up. Does require the establishment of a new network name (for example mynetwork_ext) to prevent interference with existing network. Powerful enough to reach all areas within the house.

Sees to work okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a few problems getting it to work but after several tries it synced. Also had to move it to a few different locations to make it work ok. It improved the signal but still not as strong as I'd hoped.

Posted .Hi, MikV,
Setting up the RE7000 Extender should be easy if it's plugged within your Wi-Fi range and the basic system requirements are met. To fully maximize its potential, we suggest taking advantage of the Spot Finder Technology to guide you where to relocate the extender for optimal coverage. Should you need a hand, we can be reached anytime at [email protected].
Best regards,

Great of you aren't gaming online
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are just trying to extend your internet range this product is good but you need to understand this will not make your internet any better. It just uses your existing internet and gives it more range. Also it only extends the range from where u plug it in meaning it uses whatever signal it can pick up, say 2 bars, it will extend those 2 bars only. Great item if you arent tryi g to play online games. Thank You

Pretty good extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works fine. There were couple of hickups but all resolved. 5g extended does work but not as I expected. All other is good. The extender also gives you absolute to find the best spot.
I would recommend this to a friend Nice for adding distance to wifi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've never tried any other products like this so I'm not sure I can critique it well. But here is what I know. The instructions are not well written. I had issues setting up using my router. Although the descriptions say it can, I found it difficult because the instructions do not help with any other device than Linksys. Once set up all was good. That was until we lost power (and that happens a lot) it disconnected it's sync and I have to do the set up process all over again. That is annoying. Again, I have nothing to compare to and not sure other devices have the same issues.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.decent range on 5ghz.dont like that seamless roaming does not automatically select strongest signal. it has to go real low then it switches. needed to do it manually a few times. but ok overall. pricey!
