I like linksys and have bought several similar products and routers. The range of this is much less then we expected and seems to drop the WiFi frequently, especially when streaming music. Disappointed.

Hi, Jette357,
The Linksys RE6400 is expected to boost Wi-Fi signal coverage up to 7,500 square feet. We can stabilize the connection by making sure that the unit is equipped with the latest firmware and placed on the optimal spot. With the link to this review and your contact details, please send us an email at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can better assist forward.

This ended up being a waste of money, as it did not give me the
improved signal that I expected. You are better off going for a
meshed router, if signal strength and distance is your issue.

Hi Robd546,
The range extender works best when placed between the main router and where you want to extend the signal or where your dead spots are. We can have our Second Level Technicians assist you with further adjustments to the range extender to maximize its range.
Just send us your contact details at [email protected] so that we can escalate your case. Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Nice concept, but that is all it is. A concept. Did not help with deadzones, went in and out frequently and overall was ineffective.

Hello,
To maximize the extender's performance, ensure that it is getting at least 50% of your router’s Wi-Fi signal or is located midway between your router and the area without Wi-Fi. During the setup, make sure to also utilize the Spot Finder feature to determine its best placement. For further assistance, please reach out to us at [email protected] with the link to this post and your contact information and our Escalation Engineers will take care of you from there.

Hi TEDRx,
Aside from the possible signal interference, one of the factors that can affect the behavior or your RE6400 Repeater is the location where it is plugged in. To boost the range, make sure that it is positioned at least 50% from your router's Wi-Fi signal. If you haven't tried yet the Spot Finder Technology feature of our extender, let us know so we can have one of our Escalation Engineers walk you through the steps. Tap us anytime at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this post for easy reference.
