Linksys' AC1200 Amplify RE6700 Wi-Fi range extender device promises to expand your wireless coverage by up to 10,000 square feet.
The extender's range is good but not quite as good as the best access points. The signals from my 3- and 4-antenna access points are usable to about 25% more distance. That's still pretty good for such a compact package.
This range extender does very well at latching onto a remote signal and rebroadcasting it for nearby clients; You'll get the best result by connecting it to your access point with on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
There is a 3.5 mm audio jack to stream audio wirelessly from Android, iOS, or other OSes; This would have been really convenient if it had worked since I had placed this behind my HTPC.
Nothing more
Fast delivery and very easy to use and setup

Good coverage
Not easy to setup and expensive customer support phone rate
First of all, the installation instructions are almost non-existent. It turns out that the install is quite easy so once I figured out how to install the Linksys RE6700, I was very disappointed that it did not offer better coverage than I already had. My router is in my basement office.
We've been using our one for 2-3 weeks now with no issues. It usually has a couple of phones and a PS4 connected and seems to cope pretty well. Set up was easy. The range is quite surprising too; we can now pick up reliable wifi at the back of our property 30ish meters away.
Product worked fine for about 6 months then just stopped working. My wife was chatting with support for over 2 hrs and they decided to blame our router that was working perfect on every phone computer and tv in our home.
