The firmware is not good. It is not user friendly. Extender could not find my 5GHz wifi until I've set lower channel number on my wifi router. This is rediculous.

I didn't realize how long it's been since our last wireless extender review, which was Linksys' RE6500 last September. It's purely coincidence that I'm looking at Linksys' latest wireless extender, the RE6700 AC1200 AMPLIFY Dual-Band Wi-Fi Range Extender today.
When it was first adopted, Wireless AC initially represented a new, better way for inter-device communications and it still offers the best bandwidth among mass-market wireless standards.
We conducted throughput tests with Ixia's IxChariot at ranges of five, 25, 50 and 75 feet in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to evaluate the RE6700's performance. For comparison, we're including measurements from a number of recently-tested competitors.
The RE6700 is a solid performer that doesn't physically cover more than one electrical socket and offers a simple; user-friendly setup and extras like Cross-Band and DLNA streaming
The lack of power features like AP-mode; advanced QoS settings; and numerical signal level readouts may leave power users wanting more
