    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.

    Linksys - Max-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender - White Linksys is a very reliable vendor and this is a high quality extender. It connects to my main router signal and pushes high speed. I recommend this and other Linksys products. Best Buy had these in stock so I got it quicly as needed.

    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.

    1st, it wouldn't connect to my T-Mobile internet gateway. That took forever. 2nd, the quick install guide is missing a lot of information. Had to find a guide online. Setup and instructions don't match. 3rd, I had to do a web based install, which is fine (no app?), but the extender could not be found by the website no matter how many times I tried, using different devices. It was barely recognized using an ethernet cable. Placement was another issue. It finally liked the spot I chose 3 times before. Thankfully, it has a strong signal...so far. Linksys used to be very reliable and user friendly, I guess those days are gone.

    This is a great Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender which is extremely easy to install with your Linksys 6 Router, which will automatically pick up this extender easily when you press the WPS button on your router. Once you receive a solid blue light on the extender, you can move the extender anywhere in your home to expand your Wi-Fi signal. Easy set up and works great.

    I guess this did the job of extending the range of my wi-fi. However, I did not realize it would actually set up another wi-fi channel with a different name. Too confusing - and my reception in the far corner of the house isn't as bad as I thought. So I returned it - it wasn't worth $100 to me.

    Good Wifi Extender with a minor issue

    Good wifi extender, the only issue I have with it is that I have noticed that after a couple of weeks it seems to start losing its connection with my ATT Wifi Modem which the only thing that seems to fix it is unplugging it and replugging it in. Other than that it works great!

      Hi, ChrisJax,

      If the connection from the AT&T device is stable while the extender loses connection, try to check if its firmware is up to date. If that won’t help, we’ll have our Escalation Engineers check further what’s causing the challenge. Just tap us at LinksysCares@linksys.com along with your contact information and a link to this review as a reference.

      Regards,

      Rosalyn

    Say goodbye to low-resolution feeds

    I use streaming cable. My main router is not far from the TV but there's too many walls in between so sometimes all I see is a low resolution feed. I plugged the range extender at the nearest AC from the TV and used an ethernet cable to connect it through the port below the extender instead of connecting to it wirelessly. I have yet to see a low resolution feed from my streaming cable during the past two weeks that I have been using it.

    Call could not install this purchase by myself. I had to ask the Best Buy geek squad to install it for me. They were able to do so in 10 minutes. It exceeded my expectations for a wifi extender.
