Review on Linksys WiFi Extender RE6300: Boost Your WiFi Range, Dual-Band AC750 Speeds, 1,000 Sq. ft Coverage by Eric Dailey

Seamless roaming is a must!

I've been using this extender for about two weeks, so far I'm very happy with it. In my office, the speed is 4-5 times faster than with a router. It's important to make sure you have a compatible router, but if that extender can take advantage of seamless roaming technology, then this is the way to go! My wife and I have a one story 2,000 square foot house and our router is in the living room. WiFi speeds in the living room and adjoining bedrooms range from 50 to 100 Mbps depending on the time of day, but our home office, located in the furthest corner of the house, typically can't exceed 10 Mbps, and even lower on average . . Speed was acceptable for most everyday tasks, but we would have had to move our laptops to another room for acceptable download speeds. I bought an extender from another company thinking a different SSID wouldn't be a problem, but I had to choose different networks depending on where you are in the house, which isn't ideal, especially with phones and tablets. The coolest feature of this repeater is its seamless roaming ability. It's been in business for many years, but I'm excited to see the technology entering homes. Seamless roaming allows the router to switch Wi-Fi devices between access points with the strongest signal. This is a useful feature if you move around the house a lot as you don't have to worry about which Wi-Fi network you're connected to. The negative aspect of most range extenders is that they force you to specifically connect to the extender's SSID if you need signal boosting. I was on the verge of buying a mesh network system (Google Wi-Fi, Linksys velop etc.) as we had just bought a high end router earlier in the year it felt like a waste. I was skeptical about how well this extender would work, but not only can I move from room to room with my tablet and laptop, but my speeds are better than I expected. I can access a full power signal on both 2.4GHz frequencies and you need to get a stronger signal in the range and you can take advantage of the seamless roaming that this extension offers, that's what you need !
