    I received this Wi-Fi 6 Range extender with some trepidation, as I had tried to use another similar branded product which was difficult to setup and did not work as it should. This Linksys - Max Stream range extender was easy to set up and has extended the wi-fi all around my home as it should.

    I bought this to extend the wireless range to get a signal out to my cameras. Was surprisingly easy to setup and works well for my cameras.

    The Linksys range extender was just the thing to fill in a couple of areas where our main router was not quite giving a full signal. It was very easy to set up right out of the box. The only thing keeping it from a 5-star rating is its size.

    Bought this to pair with my 6E router. I needed more coverage out in the garage which is about 20 feet away. Pretty easy to connect. I also like that it does the mi-mou and automatically switches. You can also set up a extender mode.

    This is a pretty straight forward range extender. Plug it in, do a quick configure and you're good to go. One thing that I noticed was that I was trying to extend a Netgear router and the 2.4 Band seemed to have a LOT of trouble maintaining the connection. What is REALLY nice about this connector is that there is an ethernet port that you can use instead of the wifi for connecting back to the modem. That's what I did and it is working gangbusters now. The signal is strong and covers a wide area. Very happy with this purchase.

    This unit is good for a house less than 2,000 sq ft. Great for small devices. Super easy to install. For work or heavy gaming it is capped on its signal rate. If you have a basic line internet,it will do just fine. If you have high rate Fiber internet, than spend a little more.

    Already have LinkSys router , easy to pair…. Make sure to follow instructions. I had to hit the WPS button on the router a couple of times, it connected. Works great! My router is on the 2nd floor right above where the extender is on the 1st floor in living room. We have Concrete walls so signal is hard to connect to on 2nd floor. Extender does the job.

    I originally purchased a Netgear extender. It stopped working after a few months, and customer service was beyond terrible. I eventually got frustrated and purchased this Linksys extender. I couldn’t be happier. The setup was so easy - literally one button. And it has worked very well. Avoid Netgear and buy Linksys.

    This linksys range extender works great! It was very easy to add to my mesh network, and extends the network throughout the entire lower floor of the house. Without it we were getting 2 bars off the base router, with the extender we're back to 5 bars with excellent performance.

      Hi, Chris,

      Several factors may warrant investigation, including identifying potential sources of wireless interference in the area. Additionally, ensure that the extender is operating on the latest firmware and verify the stability of the connection directly from the router. For further assistance, please contact us at LinksysCares@linksys.com. Kindly include your contact information and a link to this review for our reference.

    Was easy to set up initially but did not meet expectations to provide wireless to an item only 25 feet away. I had to uninstall it and ended up on chat with support for over an hour to try to reset it.
