Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decided against xfinity pods after reviewing linksys reviews. Glad I made this choice. WiFi all over the house. Yay!!

Works ready good, great for my smart tv and gaming setup

This device has added service through parts of the house where we could not get good service previously, quite pleased (so far).

perfectly plug and plan. Took a minute for my devices to catch up the first time but works great. Have it in my house and can get 4 bars in my detached garage - about 25' away.

Now, i am able to get internet at every corner of my house, thanks to linksys.

It didn’t work with my system but if you need a Wi-Fi extender, maybe you can try it.

Any one looking for a reliable repeater this is the one. Was a breeze to find my current wifi SSID and have it extend all the to the garage.

This device is a compact, plug-in-the wall, almost invisible but a powerful repeater. Dual band too! Was very easy to set-up.

I currently have a Linksys tri band router. I paired this extender for my Sony TV in the downstairs entertainment room and now it's faster than ever. I love it!!

This product is performing as expected. Has added greatly to my viewing enjoyment.

You get great signal. It is very easy to set up either through your iPhone or laptop or even iPad. I receive perfect WiFi signal on the 2nd floor of the house

Gives my family a strong signal upstairs. Whereas before my daughter struggle to stay connected.

Easy to use and install. Little too heavy and wants to fall away from the wall outlet nothing a little tape of velcro can’t fix

made a big different in my signal to get my wi fi to stay connect, to my camera

Had my computer checked for loading and running slow the suggestion was a stronger WiFi signal. Purchased a Max-Stream to see if it could push the signal to the other side of the house. Week 4 seems to be doing the job. Easy to get set up.

I use it to connect my ring camera to the wi-fi and it works perfectly. Before this it wouldn't work at all.

Was a Cisco installer and Linksys was previously a Cisco product but now marketed by Belkin. Quality not what it used to be. But still works. Tech support is useless. Figured it out that had a conflict with router firmware. After updating route me firmware this product works fine.

Absolutely works great. We use it while at the campgrounds and it pics ip a really good signal. Well worth the money!!

This has made it possible for me to have internet in the main building and extend it to my other workshop. It works great!!!!!

The Linksys Max Stream AC1900 Wifi Range Extender is a winner. It was easy to perform the initial set up using the Quick Start Guide. There are two ways to set up the wifi range extender wirelessly. The first way is to use Wifi Protected Setup (WPS). The second way is to connect via your internet browser. It can also be set up as a wired range extender with an ethernet cable. It only took me a few minutes to have it set up. I tested the range for the wifi extender. According to the box, it has a range of 10,000 square feet. The acceptable range for me would be to still have two signal bars. I was able to walk approximately 60 feet away before it dropped down to two bars. I was in an open space, so there were no physical obstructions that you would find in a house such as walls, metallic objects, etc. In my house, there were some dead spots where my wireless router could never get to. Strategically placing the Linksys wifi range extender eliminated the dead spots. Problem solved. Wireless speed using the range extender is identical as using my wireless router. The range extender is set up to use dual band 2.4 Ghz + 5 Ghz. As an added bonus it has MU-MIMO technology which as the name suggests allows multi-user wireless data packets to be sent simultaneously as opposed to single user SU-MIMO. Without detracting from the review of the Linksys Wifi Range Extender, let's just say that MU-MIMO is the next generation wifi standard. It is definitely nice to have, but you will need your other hardware to also support MU-MIMO to really get the benefits from it. The unit plugs right into any wall electrical socket. During use it gets very warm and has what appear to be ventilation holes around all four sides. The unit is designed to be continuously plugged in and connected to your router wirelessly (or wired if using the ethernet cable) 24/7. However, I was curious as to whether or not the wifi extender would re-establish the wireless communication with my router if I turned off the wifi extender by removing it from the wall outlet and re-plugging it back in. Note there is no on or off button. It is continually on when plugged in. It turns out when I did this, most of the time the wifi extender would not re-establish connection. It would continue to blink orange indefinitely, signaling that the connection with my wireless router was not re-established. Re-booting of the router did not solve the issue. The connection still did not re-establish itself. I had to do a full re-set of the wifi extender, and enter set up mode again before it would re-connect with the router. On occasion, it would re-establish the connection to the wireless router. I tested this many times, and with the wifi extender only several feet away from my router. This is a minor issue, though as I intend to keep it plugged in all the time. Maybe it is an isolated problem with the unit I received or perhaps a future firmware update will solve this. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend the Linksys Max Stream AC1900 Wifi Range Extender with MU-MIMO technology. I think it is a great wifi extender. Easily 4.5 stars from me, with the half star reduction for the issue I mentioned above.
