Eliminate Dead Spots and Increase Wi-Fi Range

With the Linksys AC1200 MAX Wi-Fi Range Extender (RE6500HG), you can easily extend the range of your existing wireless router. Simply position the RE6500HG in your home where you need connectivity or experience a weak signal--say, an upstairs bedroom or office or another remote area of your home such as a patio or deck. The RE6500HG will repeat the signal from the router and redistribute it to reduce wireless dead spots.

Not only does the RE6500HG offer dual-band WiFi, it also features Crossband technology, which means the dual wireless bands can receive information on one band and transmit on the other, reducing dropped data packets and delivering a stronger, more consistent signal throughout your home.

High-Gain Antennas for a Stronger Signal

The RE6500HG sports a pair of super-tall, high-gain antennas that serve to amplify the Wi-Fi signal strength throughout your home, making it great for streaming HD videos or playing online games. These high-gain antennas are designed to eliminate dead zones that can occur when walls or construction materials obstruct the signal between your Wi-Fi devices and the extender. Since the antennas are adjustable, you can position them to optimize the performance of your wireless network.

Dual Band Wi-Fi and Audio Jack for Streaming

The range extender features simultaneous dual bands, which means it transmits at both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies at the same time. It extends 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi up to N300 Mbps + AC867 Mbps and reduces interference. So no matter which band your wireless devices use, they'll automatically connect to the best available band for the fastest possible performance.

The RE6500HG sports an audio jack on the back, which enables you to connect a stereo system or a speaker to the range extender and wirelessly stream music from your smartphone or laptop.

Four Gigabit Ethernet Ports for Wired Connections

In addition to wireless connectivity, the RE6500HG features four Gigabit Ethernet ports that are 10 times faster than traditional Fast Ethernet ports, allowing you to establish fast, secure wired connections to desktop or laptop computers or virtually any other Internet-enabled device. Placing the range extender on a desk near the device makes wired connections easy.

Universally Compatible with Routers

The RE6500HG features wireless-AC technology for optimal throughput and is compatible with virtually any Wi-Fi router or gateway. Simply connect it to your current wireless network to enjoy Internet access on all your devices from anywhere in your home.

    5 Stars
    Solved problems with firmware....Indefinite "waiting" and "2118" errors, when it allows a log in...
    Problems right from the start.Non-stop 2118 errors, when logged into 192.168.1.1, while trying to click on ANY of the options to manually config.If I don't get the 2118 error, it'll show a blank screen, or "waiting" indefinitely.Have to hard reset router regularly just to get it to work for a few minutes for a manual log-in. But, router won't save any settings or it gets stuck on the blank screen "waiting" forever. Youtube videos show others can click on an option and it comes up in a second or two but mine won't. Another error is that router keeps stating that internet is down, yet I can surf from another browser window or tab, like for this review.I've tried several different laptops, desktops, browsers, and operating systems, and 'no joy' with any plugged into this router, and even created a non-needed useless linksys login identity which just won't 'link' to this router either.I will RMA this failed unit and hope that the replacement works. If the replacement works, I will update this review accordingly.UPDATE:Well, Amazon over-nighted a replacement router. Same problems. When using ANY browser(IE, Firefox, Chrome), Windows 7,8,10(and even XP) with the antivirus and any/all security settings turned off, I just can't make ANY changes to the router from its browser log in. That's 2 routers in a row that can't be adjusted using a simple browser log in. Besides regular 2118 errors and indefinite "waiting", the new router also has 2117 errors.BTW, you can manually download the latest firmware. FW_WRT3200ACM_1.0.6.181063_prod is available for download and my routers shipped with 1.0.5.175944 which didn't not allow browser settings changes.If you can't log into router, you can't update it. The automatic firmware update(via Android phone app) doesn't see the latest firmware that you can manual download to a PC. Auto update(via Android app) says no new firmware is available even though the downloadable, from the Linksys website, firmware is newer than what the router is equipped with.Additional update and review, after battling with router #2 for a couple days, I decided to do another reset and just leave it alone. After a few hours, using the Linksys cellphone app, it finally was able to update itself with the previous mentioned firmware update. I would guess that the LInksys support made that happen. That did the trick and after a reboot, router is now responding to my browsers. I was able to config/save my settings and now the wireless network is working just fine.I don't want "email" log in, Linksys membership smart-wifi log in, or auto-anything-easy-quick config by default.Loses 1 star because firmware updates took a while to go from website to router's auto-update.Loses another star because router browser settings uses stupid silly "pop-up's" instead of normal browser pages like older routers. Pop-up script can easily be blocked by a pop-up blocker or script stopper(that is, a browser with some security settings). Pop-up's can also be stopped by aggressive antivirus-settings, browser ad-blockers,...... The engineer that wanted that should be fired.In the end, this router goes from 1 start to 3 stars. I don't want a "cool" router with apps and silly config page pop-ups. I want a usable router that I can manually set up quickly, update as needed, and then put to work!Linksys, get rid of the pop-up's when clicking on ANYTHING when accessing the router's menus. What was Linksys thinking? Every browser pretty much has a pop-up killer now.Update 12/22/2018:With the latest firmware and selective router manual configurations, router has served well until drowning during hurricane Michael. I'd wager most negatives reviews are caused by either older firmware, or not choosing the proper wireless options for your network. Since it ran nonstop since the firmware update without issues, I've bumped up the rating to 5 stars. If you buy this router, learn how to log into it(no quick setups or phone ap's), and go thru each step by step option. Eliminating "B" and "G" wireless using only "N" or "A/C".... is good start, setting priorities and specific options in your phones, laptops, TV, bluray, audio receiver..... can make your WIFI super fast, well managed, and safe.I replaced my flooded WRT AC3200 with the Gaming Router WRT32X(seriously lacking options and overly dumbed downed user interface). It too works great but I prefer the config/options of the non-gaming router. And, for better reception/distance, Linksys offers high gain antennas which are about twice as tall, and provides exceptional capability an acre away in my work shed.Current Firmware for the WRT AC3200ACM is 1.0.6.186168, released in January of 2018. If the router doesn't automatically update to this firmware, do a manual update.
