Works great as access point

I purchased to set up as access point which is when you have a LAN cable running from the entrypoint modem to this device. That gives very fast speeds - ~600MB/s with FIOS gigabit in spite of 40 ft of cable. The setup is easy. When they ask for names and passwords for the 2.4 and 5.0 MHz bands, use something other than what you are using for the primary modem. If you screw that up, hold the reset button on the device and you can start all over.

Had some trouble with setup. Ended up trying it on a different WiFi and it worked really well. It may just not be compatible with my WiFi. Instructions for this item need to be better though, I really had to just figure it all out myself.

Very easy installation. But the signal waxes and wanes without obvious explanation. It’s better than it was, but not fully what I hoped.

Hi,
Make sure that the extender gets at least half of the router's bandwidth and is running on the latest firmware. Feel free to email [email protected] with the link to your review should you wish to discuss this further.

So easy that if you can plug in an Ethernet cord you can make this work.
PS: if you don’t know what that cord is your probably technically challenged. Yes even you can get this thing up and running. (It’s a large version of the old phone cord.). For you I’m betting you can do this in under 5 minutes.

Easy setup to network with this extender. Only have had for about one month. Helps make up for the fact that Child's room is a bit far from the router.

I had to move my desktop out of the guest room and into the living room, away from the router. I now have the option to work from anywhere in the house (near a power outlet still). The added wifi coverage for my mobile devices is a bonus.

Work's very good as an extender as that's what this is. It's hooked to my router via ethernet cable and helps with some of my other devices especially my doorbell camera maintain a more consistent connection to the Internet.

We have an odd situation at our house. It has a small footprint, but it's old and we have a basement with bedrooms and a washroom (lots of concrete). one of our new computers was not getting good router signal in one of the bedrooms so we purchased this to correct the issue. It works, but it seems to be stepping on the other main router also, almost as if we need to move it further away, but can't because of the footprint of the house. It works, and we've made it work, but we still get a little chunkiness now and again and need to reboot the main router to fix it. I imagine if my home were more linear rather than square (built one level on top of the other) it would work better.

So far, so good. A firmware update was suggested right out of the box, but updated without issue. Linksys App shows devices connected to it as Offline, which is odd. 5gHz band is fairly adequate and strong which is great.
