Had to be within ten feet of the unit for it to reach through brick. This thing stretches the definition of "range extender" much more than it actually extends your range. If you only need to get wi-fi 20 more feet beyond where it already goes, have lots of money, and don't care about speed, this unit is for you! Pros: 2. Easy setup - Despite problems I see other reviewers having, I have set up and re-setup this thing a half dozen times and it always goes smoothly.
WPS, install disc, using the browser interface - all worked great for me. Hint - Right click on the disc icon in a Windows Explorer window and select open. Cons: Well, it is quite large. Much larger than other extenders I have used. Of course, it works better than other extenders I have used as well. Would be great if it supported 5GHz as well, but there is another Linksys product that does this.
Overall Review: I live in a long apartment right now. My router is by the front door. Wireless signals were very weak on the other side of the apartment in the master bedroom and attached bathroom.
I set up the RE, and then moved it into the laundry room, which is about halfway. With the laundry room door closed, signal is great though the wall into the master bedroom and bathroom. I normally avoid Linksys products, this actually works very well. I am impressed. I haven't had any weird hiccups after a couple of weeks. Pros: Once setup, it does what it is intended to do.
It is unobtrusive, therefore easily hidden. The option of plugging the unit into an outlet without using the cord is a nice touch. It also doubles as a wireless bridge for computers without WIFI. Cons: The setup software did not work well with windows 8. The software appears to be starting, then nothing shows up on the screen. After about minute it may or may not appear. The extender did not readily show up on the network. Following the instruction on changing the extenders distance did not help.
Therefore I could not do a manual setup either. After several resets and several computer restarts to try to get it working, it finally showed up, along with the setup software, and easily setup. The signal seems to vary quite a bit. Checking the strength from the same place at different times shows huge differences in signal strength. This is consistent with the trouble I had initially setting up the unit. I was expecting the same easy setup and good performance that I had experienced with RE It didn't happen.
The frustration level was quite high. I suspect that someone less stubborn might have given up. Theoretically this should be a useful item. The RE is a single band 2. This is great for transmitting signals through walls. I would suggest that you look elsewhere. Pros: Once setup, it does give an appreciable boost in coverage.
Did not have any "random" connection failures accept when power is cut to the host router. That is impressive. Works with routers other than just Linksys, but setup may be more difficult if not matched. Cons: Setup disc is worthless and misleading. Not user friendly upon initial setup and not something I could recommend for a novice.
I have family and friends that would not have been able to get this extender connected to my network if they tried.
Limited to the 2. Will not automatically reestablish connection to host router if power is lost to the router although it looks like the extender maintains all connection settings, it just needs to be told to reconnect. Inconvenient as it should automatically reconnect to the network it was setup to run with. Overall Review: Step one - throw out the included install disc. Attempting to setup a connection using that disc made things much more difficult than they needed to be and flat out didn't work, for me at least.
I have a Netgear Nighthawk router that I was using to connect this with, so perhaps the included disc will work if you have a linksys router?
The only way I was able to get this extender connected to my network was by using a hardwired connection from the extender to a laptop which was connected over the 2.
Once you login to the extender, setup was straightforward. I moved the router and extender to different locations to check the range and each time the router is unplugged, you have to setup the extender from scratch all over again as if it was a new connection.
