Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Linksys RE7000 is an effective addition to any wireless network where reliable and extended coverage is required. This is often the case in larger homes or offices owing to the building materials utilized for construction as well as the number of interior walls or floors present. The Linksys RE7000 definitely shines at extending the Wi-Fi network but can also add a new wired port. The RE7000 is very easy to set up offering several methods to achieve connection with your existing Wi-Fi router. In my particular case, I currently had Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream router in place which allowed for an easy set up utilizing the WPS buttons located on the router as well as the RE7000 unit. Connection between the units took only a few minutes (honestly less than 5 and that included me reading the instructions). A distinct advantage of utilizing the RE7000 is its ability to reproduce/operate at the two different Wi-Fi frequencies that my EA9500 is putting out, 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz. As others have mentioned, the extended network speeds may not be up the same as those supplied directly from the router which I did notice but nothing that was detrimental to streaming movies or playing video games online. My specific intended use was to utilize the LAN port of the RE7000 to provide a wired connection for an older tv without Wi-Fi connectivity, i.e operate the RE7000 as a bridge. This ability became exceptionally valuable recently when I needed to download a large file for a game on my XboxOne system. Running of the Wi-Fi I was getting variable speeds, spiking but averaging ~25 Mbps. My ISP is currently rated at 50 Mbps so I was a bit disappointed and not looking to the hour or so it was going to take to download the 5 Gb update. Luckily I remembered the wired connection and plugged my XboxOne to the LAN port of the RE7000 and suddenly I was downloading at 50-60 Mbps! In summry, the Linksys RE7000 provides an easy and effective way to extend the Wi-Fi network in a home or office but can suffer from a reduction in connection speeds. In most cases, the reduction in speeds would likely not be noticed under average use (streaming, web viewing, etc).

A big help for our 2 story home. Wasn’t sure if it would actually make a difference but it has

Device works well. However, you do have to find a ideal location to put it in your house.

This WiFi range extender improved my WiFi strength in my outbuilding which is about 45feet away from my router. It was a little difficult to set up. I could not get it to sync using the wpa method. I would purchase again.

Does what it's suppose to. Placement is important.

I had trouble connecting with my system. I am not as Tech-savvy as I need to be to connect.

Great signal extender! We don't get great signal from our router upstairs even with the more pricey linksys router. Plugged this on one in the middle of one of our stair cases and we have perfect high speed internet throughout the house!

worked for a couple days and now I am back to by wifi being dropped.

Good product, wish it extended the WiFi not added a secondary WiFi

Works just ok. Loses connection a lot. Not my first choice.

This repeater works great for larger homes. I have signal everywhere now.

Range is eh, perhaps, I need to re start. Seems to disconnect itself now and then.

Bought this device thinking that it would be helpful to pick up signal in my basement from the main floor. When I had it plugged in upstairs as well as downstairs, the green light keeps going off which indicates that it's not getting a signal. It did not help boost the signal in the rooms I needed it to be boosted in.

Was exactly what I was looking for within a reasonable price. Good quality as well.

This Linksys Max-Stream solved our connection problems.

Purchased for my mom about a week ago. Set up was pretty easy and now she has a very strong wifi signal throughout her home. Before setup, I could barely get one bar of wifi, if any, and now there are three bars in the dead zones.

Just an average product,wi fi goes out randomly. I think it's overpriced and overrated.

Product was easily setup for use. No problems and a easy way to take credit card purchases for small business

Pretty "patchy". Have moved the device around several times and at times it will do what it is intended to do, but it will lose it's connectivity and blink orange from time to time, which is frustrating.

Works well. Extended my wifi to my hone office even tho it is far
