The hardware is good, the setup is horrendous!

It works, but had tremendous difficulty setting it up, as I used it as a repeater. Was able to setup only one 5G channel, but my router operates on two channels. I called customer support, but they were of no help. Nonetheless, it does its job, but setup leaves a lot more to be desired. Would I purchase it again? Absolutely not! They really need to work on their software. Really confusing even though I'm a technical person who deals with computer configuration daily.

Hooked up quickly and has stayed connected to the network. Used to improve a signal in a small room away from the router. Economical compared to mesh systems.

I just installed it at our new luxurty home in the NC Mountains. On a fixed wireless connection, this premium extender (I have a cheaper but effective one at the primary residence) achieves 433 mbs. It rocks.

I’m beginning to think that we don’t need to read directions anymore. I plugged it in, pressed the WPS after setting the switches, hit the WPS on the main unit and everything worked perfectly.

Works ok. I bought it to go along with my mesh router, unfortunately it isn’t a mesh compatible but still works… just don’t get the coverage I thought I was going to get. When asking for help with the company it took 3 hours to hook up.. the agent should have told me I bought the wrong one. Got cancer during this time …when calling back for assistance the guy told me, I could buy the right one for less..lesson learned, disappointed. Same coverage as Netgear

I bought this for my Mom who lives on a lake. We've tried many products over the years and this one finally met our range needs. We wanted to be able to get a signal when out by the lake and now we do. Yay!

My house is long and the wireless is in a front room. The wall studs are metal resulting in a poor slow connections in the back end of the house. The RE9000 has solved my problem and it was easy to up.

I use this product to extend my network and boy does it work.
My actual modem and router had to be installed in the basement of a two story house which caused a slightly weaker signal. After reading reviews, I decided to give this product a shot. I wanted performance but didn't have to be top of the line performance. I didn't want to spend loads of money but didn't want anything super cheap. This here, was the happy medium for both my needs and wallet:) This has brought back a solid wifi signal with all bars and I must say, it works well.
The admin console is straight forward and has many options to do whatever you want. Be sure to update the firmware after setting up this unit.

The setup is fairly easy but can get complicated easily, but other than that I have multiple of these devices and that work great on one big network name.

Works great to extend my wi-fi network and with Linksys EA9500 wireless router mesh system so the network stays the same no matter where I go in the house no need to change network.

I bought this to extend my wifi signal further into our back yard. Our wireless cameras are now working great. They were not working before because they were too far out for our wifi.

Set this up in bridge mode for wireless connection. It's not the fastest, however the ethernet ports are not virtualized so it's consistent.

Went to Best Buy at 8:30pm to pick this up. By 9:15pm I had a super fast 5 GHz signal from my router - WPS set up. Seriously, can’t get any easier than this!
