Ok so this is the 5th WiFi extender I’ve tried and this is the first one that didn’t take me twice as long to TRY to get it up and running as it took to have it delivered! I’m using this on a Q-See WiFi NVR with 4 WiFi cameras which makes the set up tricky to begin with. The NVR WiFi sends out both 2.4 and 5G ssids but the cameras will only pick up the 2.4G and will only pick up the NVRs exact SSID. At least for now til I figure out how to change that. This extender has dual band CROSS BAND technology so I broadcast the SSID of the 2.4G while transferring the data from the cameras back to the NVR thru the 5G frequency SSID. My video has gone from delayed and choppy to smooth and real-time. My cameras are 3MP and that’s the resolution I have set. Very nice so far. Unhook the cameras from the NVR first then set it up as the extender first then once you have it all set up you can change the ssids to match the nvr router and then after saving that come back and activate the cross band and set it up with the NVRs settings and default gateway IP and then connect the cameras. I also have this very close to the cameras in between two closets of two adjacent rooms. One room has two cameras in the same corner and the adjacent room has two cameras in the opposite corner and as far away from the NVR as possible. It still says the extender is too close to the nvr and there’s 40 plus feet between them. I also have full bars from the NVR and full bars at the camera locations. I set it up to connect anyway and it’s a great connection soooo faaaaar. Fingers crossed. Also with this unit by Linksys it’s a far better interface with detailed instruction and detailed helps throughout the menu and the website support is very good compared to all the others I’ve tried. Haven’t had to call in yet but imagine it’s quite good as well. Hopefully now it last longer than my last extender of a different brand. If it holds up I’m definitely a LINKSYS WOMAN from now on!UPDATE!!!Now that I have changed the cameras SSID to the new name of the extender the cameras hone right in on the extenders signal instead of trying to latch onto the NVRs SSID. This unit works best when located on the fringe of the main routers WiFi’s signal and the spot finder is dead on green. The extended network starts at the fringe of the main router signal and extends it beyond the main routers signal. Example my house is 60 feet long, the router is in my living room about 40 feet from the cameras located on the other end, there are 3 walls and log siding between the cameras and the main nvr router. This signal carries the main routers signal out toward the end with the cameras instead of rebroadcasting it into my living room unlike most WiFi repeaters that do a 360 degree area around the extender. It’s called beam forming and concentrates the extended signal toward where the cameras are located and not in a 360 degree circle around the extender. The signal is strong where I need it and weak where I don’t need it. The only drawback is if you need to get into the interface you’ll need to move to the signal of the extender to log on. So far I love it and unlike many others that seemed to fail after a reset this one can be reset and set back up with ease time after time and there are never any glitches.

Purchased the "Linksys RE6350" from Amazon. I think this model was a discontinued product. The Linksys website no longer displays this model with instructions to register the device. I called support service for assistance who told me the warrantee expired. I told the tech I just purchased the extender, so the tech was able to modify the warrantee start and end date giving me a year of warrantee for the product. It took the tech about 45 minutes to totally complete the set-up including attempting to walk me through the set-up process the first time. I selected option 1 to received assistance from the support tech over the telephone, but it did not work. I ended up selecting option 2 for direct remote assistance to help connect the device for $10.09 including taxes with 2 weeks of remote service. The tech was professional. The tech had to update the software before it would connect to the device. My router is located on the 2nd level on the furthest wall and my extender was on the 1st level near the front door at the opposite end of the house. The range suppose to cover 7,500 square feet. The tech would only tell me that it should be placed halfway from the router and weak point. My 2G gave me 4 curves. My 5G gave me 3 curves signals on the wi-fi. I had to re-enter my router password on an new wi-fi connection on my cell phone and computer. I have to connect to the new named wi-fi connection with the extender on my cell phone before it works. According to the tech the device should retain the connection even if the router lose power or have to be reset. So far, so good. I'm happy with the connection. I hope it last longer than a year for the cost of the product.

I like the performance of this repeater. Only thing I don't like is it tends to run really hot, and that can attract bugs if you live in the south. I would recommend they do something to reduce temps/ make it less of a breeding ground for critters looking for a warm spot.

A little tricky to set up (probably user error) but once everything was set up and connected, it did what I needed it to do. My cable outlet for internet is in a very odd location and creates a couple dead zones on the other side of the house. This extender has completely eliminated the dead zones and I haven't noticed any difference in speed, etc.
