Good Linksys router extender. Good instructions. Easy to set up.

Alright product. Doesn’t really extend much but increase coverage in already covered area. Get a mesh system instead. Double the money and get your values worth. Not worth the money on this.

I don’t know why I didn’t get this sooner - great extender!

Easy to setup...but does not extend the WIFI very far.

Helpful to extend my wifi signal throughout the house.

Easy to use and connect to my current wifi. I needed a stronger connection to my computer upstairs and works like a charm

We live in the country and have 1 internet provider. Our wifi only made it halfway through the house. Purchased this product hoping to get wifi throughout entire house. It does work but signal strength is very low and slow to load. Don't know if it is the product or wifi situation. Just disappointed the strength is not better for the money spent.

We placed this divide to allow better internet access in 2 far bedrooms. It has done the trick!

I had some issues setting this product up but didn’t need it after all anyway

This product ended up being needed so it was returned to the store

Works pretty good. Needed to add WiFi to the garage.

Helped to resolve Netflix issues where router is upstairs and this repeater was placed downstairs. Also has a great interface to help you with proper placement for best results.

Works well upstairs since router is 2 levels below...streaming has improved greatly

This has boosted my WiFi range. It works as it should.

Works perfectly, we get wifi on the other side of the house that is just as strong as it is by the router. It even gets the signal to our RV which is out back.

This worked, but if youre in a old style all brick home then this might not work so well for you. Also after learning about extenders and MESH systems. I will never go with an extender again. If you dont know about MESH systems then I suggestion gaining some knowledge on them and try those out first.

placement sensitive, we have ours kinda tucked out of site so not the best place to have it

The Linksys MaxStream RE7000-AC1900 turned out to be a good repeater, doing everything it was designed to do. I had some issues when I first set it up, but they turned out to be related to a router with a weaker wi-fi signal. Trying with a higher performing router fixed my issues. The repeater is simple to setup, you plug it in, and after it boots up, you can use the WPS button to connect to a 2.4 signal, and hit it again to connect to a 5.0 signal too. The setup worked fine on both frequencies. I had devices connect to both frequencies from the repeater. As a repeater, the device worked fine. I placed it as far from the router as I could. It received both 2.4 and 5.0 signals and rebroadcast a stronger signal with no problems. The throughput on the device was fine. You get less since the device has to communicate to your phone, for instance, and the router at the same time. The default SSID the unit sets up your router SSID with “_ext” at the end. All my wireless devices found and connected to the unit without a problem. Next I tried it as an Access Point (AP). I connected the Ethernet port on the device to my network by ethernet cable. I also accessed the device directly by IP address. The unit has some nice features built in. You can change the SSIDs, IP address, what radios are on, and it has a signal gauge telling you if you are too far or close to the router for best use among other options. As an AP it was a straight forward setup. The signal was strong and wireless throughput was like being connected directly to my router. I changed the device to a static IP and then made it a repeater again. With the static IP and access to the device setup I was able to plug in the device all over my house and test locations using the built in signal gauge. Overall it worked better with the static IP setup. Without accessing the device through its webpage, the light on the outside of the unit just shows green for solid connection and orange with a weak signal. Once it would go to orange, I would have problems obtain IP address and low throughput as expected. The range on the unit was good. I was 2 floors above and at the end of the house and still had a medium connection according the signal gauge. I also tried the unit as an extender. Using the Ethernet port to connect a laptop, the repeater was plugged into the wall, and I was able to connect to the internet with no problems. Other setup issues to consider are the way you setup your router antennas and whether the repeater is horizontal or vertical. My router’s antennas are setup vertically and at 45 degree angles. I had no problems with horizontal or vertical placement of the repeater. The weaker router I tested with had vertical antennas setup and the unit did better in vertical positions. Extending you network can be done multiple ways, Ethernet, Internet over powerline, and repeaters. For difficult places, repeaters have the benefit of not needed any preexisting wiring. But, as a repeater, you lose half your throughput, but it is a more flexible option. The RE7000-AC1900 worked as a repeater, AP, and extender with no issues. The built in webpage makes making changes easy. When I used the device with a Netgear R8500 I had no issues, and the unit could be used further away. When used with a Linksys EA9500 I had connection issues and the unit had to be closer to the router to work properly. If you have to go wireless, the RE700-AC1900 is a good product. I believe the MU-MIMO connection worked between the repeater and routers, but I have no MU-MIMO devices to fully test this capability.

We needed to connect our downstairs Wi-fi for our Tv's upstairs and it worked perfect

I bought this for one of my customers, he used to have a hard time with the internet connection in the house so now he can sit anywhere in the house with a perfect network connection
