An in your face, up close review: Linksys WiFi Range Extender setup and install. Here's a Linksys AC1200 unboxing, setup and review video that's quick and to the point. It shows all you need, to do a Linksys extender/WiFi repeater setup. This Linksys AC 1200 setup and review is on the Linksys RE6700 dual band version. The Linksys ac1200 WiFi range extender setup is easy to do once you watch my video tutorial. Also, this is a pretty good performer and might be the best wifi extender for being used as a WiFi booster for gaming.
Here's the link for manually accessing the Linksys WiFi range extender through your internet browser: extender.linksy...
Pricing information: This unit can be found on the Internet between $75.00 and $99.00.
This is a excellent Linksys wireless range extender that will extend your main router WiFi out beyond 5000 square feet and more. If you have a Xbox live/ Xbox 360 that needs a wifi Ethernet connection, you can use the Ethernet gigabyte port on the Linksys wifi repeater/extender to cable directly to your wifi LAN and Xbox. And this could be a good repeater for gaming in every room of the house, upstairs, downstairs and wherever!
In essence, if want to know how to setup wifi extender quickly without spending hours learning how, then my video is for you.
BTW: These wireless wifi extender devices are also known by several different names like: wifi repeater, wifi booster and wireless repeater. So don't be thrown off by the terminology used for these wifi devices.
1) Does it eliminate Wi-Fi Dead Zones? Yes.
2) Do I like the WiFi extender for Dead Zones and Signal Strength?
Yes.

1) Try a different wall outlet. 2) You might need to move the Extender closer to your WiFi router.

The Extender connects to your primary router/modem and extends your wifi network by repeating your wifi signal out further then your primary wifi router/modem signal can reach.

Hi hopefully you see this message and have an answer. When i connect the extender to my network the first time it says that my device has been disconnected and i'll have to reconnect. It gives me options for windows 7,8, vista and xp, but nothing for windows 10. I guess it is the same for w10, but when i try to reconnect as it says by "checking the connect automatically" box, it wont connect again. I've tried restarting the process, but same thing happened. Any suggestions?

What do the antennas do? Do you have to move them into a different position or any position in particular?
@nickscomputerfix
@nickscomputerfix 5 лет назад
The antennas allow you to adjust the wireless transmitter and receiver to accommodate for your house or building layout. By moving them in a different position you may get a stronger wireless signal.

It could be your Spectrum Internet if you have a slow Mbps speed plan from Spectrum ISP. It could also be that the Extender is to far from your primary wifi router/modem. Try moving the Extender a little closer to your wifi router/modem.
