    Range Extender works, but signal is weaker than expected. Not as easy as it seems to set up.

    Purchased this to cover a small blank are in my wifi coverage, then got a more powerful router and no longer needed it, in the time i did use it, it worked really well, connected easily and provided coverage all the way to the end of our driveway (not sure the length but a good distance)

    It worked okay, but it seems like just spending the extra money and getting a mesh system would be a better bet.

    It worked to extend my parents wifi network to their back bedroom. Not a MAJOR boost in signal distance, but enough for a 3bdr house.

    Drastically slower than claimed (barely 30Mbps)!

    The one I received was either broken, or it's just garbage. This device claims 1,000Gbps, and the fastest speed I ever got from it was 30Mbps, which is 0.03Gbps, That is 33,000 TIMES SLOWER THAN CLAIMED. No WiFi actually runs at 1,000Gbps (that's a straight up lie from them), but for comparison, my WiFi router consistently runs at 300Mbps, so I expected at least 100Mbps from this device. We used the WPS button to connect and moved the extender to a few locations in the house, all of which had a very good signal. Regardless of where we tried, the throughput was awful. p.s. The highest reported WiFi6 speed I could find was 10Gbps. The specs claim a Maximum Throughput of 1.8GBps (which is 14.4Gbps or 14,745Mbps), which is still nearly 500 times faster than the highest speed I ever encontered.

      Hi,

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is not the expected behavior as long as it's getting a stable WiFi connection and is correctly set up. Since this is a new device, setting it to factory default first is recommended. You may email LinksysCares@linksys.com for further assistance. Please include your ISP, the router's make/model, and the link to this review for our perusal.

      Regards,

      Mara

    We used to have a repeater and a second router to bring the signal from the main house to the mother-in-law unit at the back of the property. This range extender allowed us to get rid of those and use the original signal
