OK if I could figure it out
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wish I could give it a better review but once I swapped my Wi-Fi to a different company I haven’t been able to get it to connect. It would be great if I could use it as an extender again but now it’s just expensive paperweight.

Posted .Hi TeeKay,
The extender’s performance largely depends on its location in your home and its wireless settings. Use the Spot Finder feature of the RE7000. It automatically calculates the best place for the extender based on the signal behavior and capability of your router. Send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can have one of our Escalation Engineers walk you through the necessary steps. Please include your contact details and the link to this review.

appears to be a good signal repeater
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Working good so far, 5/29/20 working good. worth the money
I would recommend this to a friend Powerful extender
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cabled, via cat6 ethernet, a connection 250 ft to the house next door. The device then became the WiFi Outlet for the devices in the house. The WiFi connection in the house is 150Mbps, the same speed as the main router. Excellent!
I would recommend this to a friendGood for expanding on one floor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My friend did the actual wifi connection for me because he is a bit more of a tekkie. The range is definitely extended to a bigger part of my house but doesn't cover it all easily. My house is long, has an upstairs and a lower level as well. It may be too much. I moved the device around to different areas but ended up where I had an extender before. A decent product just may not be the best for my house.

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did have a problem with the first one I brought home, It would turn off after being on for two minutes. I went back to BestBuy and they exchanged it. Have not had a problem with this one. Great signal all through the house and outside.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fairly easy to connect. I’m not satisfied though because it didn’t extend my signal any better than before I got it.

Posted .Hi, Ymdlr,
The location where you plugged in the RE7000 Wireless Extender will impact the Wi-Fi coverage that it can provide. We recommend taking advantage of its Spot Finder Technology feature to guide you where to properly relocate the unit for an optimal range. Should you need a hand, email us your contact details and the link to this review at LinksysCares@linksys.com. One of our Escalation Engineers will walk you through the process.

Some help
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Boosts signal from router to cover more of house. Not perfect but good for money!
I would recommend this to a friend Works Good. Setup is Frustrating.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up is very clever in that you simply connect a device to it thorough it's in-built WiFi and perform the configuration. Not so clever is that it was difficult to get the WiFi connection to begin with. It took several tries at plugging in and unplugging the device to get it to connect. I then discovered that I configured it wrong and could not figure out how to reconfigure it correctly. I ended up resetting to factory settings and doing it again. I had the same problems getting connected to the device, but once I did so, the setup was easy. This device extended my coverage into a remote part of my property where I needed WiFi to work and has performed well for the 1.5 months I have owned it.

Increases signal to my 2 Ring cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Actually have 2 of these. One I gave to my son to use with his Roku stick. It increased the signal from marginal to very good. The other I use with 2 Ring cameras that increased the signal by several dB.

Works Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great and was easy to set up. It could pick up the signal from my router through the garage. The other extender i purchased couldn’t do that. I definitely recommend.

Works as expected
