Quick and easy

I needed an easy fix for a weak signal to our den, and moving the router isn't an option. This arrived and was installed with the push of two buttons, ready to work. It fixed the problem. So 10 minutes from delivery to my door to working signal.

Big Disappointment

I bought this extender along with the Archer AX21 AX1800 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router in order to create a mesh network and presumably upgrade the wifi performance of an older router and extender. Having now used this for several weeks, I cannot say that I am noticing any real improvement in how my home network is performing. There are also too many inexplicable disconnections from the wifi system. I do not believe I have gotten any real value for the money spent on this.

What is the range? It's called an "extender". How far does it "extend" the signal?
Asked by: Mark
Hi! The RE500X extends the existing Wi-Fi signal that your wireless router is broadcasting by connecting to your router's Wi-Fi signal(s), then rebroadcasting them from the extender's location. To do this, it must be installed in an area where your router's Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently, strong, yet far enough from the router to effectively extend your network's range to the desired location(s).
