Simple, great range, awesome!

I actually use this in a haunted house for remote prop activation. This thing is great.  Super easy to understand and use, amazing range, and cheap.  How can you go wrong?

This thing is everything I've been looking for all in one package, it's great. It took me about 5 minutes to set it up and get everything running (my first time dealing with WiFi) The instructions are simple to follow. My only problem is that my house has really thick walls, and the signal doesnt transmit too well through them. Also I have a couple of 2.4 Ghz Phones... which really interfere with the signal. So after some searching I found out that the small antennas on the back of this device can be unscrewed and swapped out for more powerful antennas. Upgradeability at its finest. I don't think that any of the other brands offer this, so I just wanted to give credit where credit is due, on Linksys's part for leaving this option out there. Techsplanet.com offers a great solution to this, they have a whole antenna package tailored especially for this wireless access point. Mine's working great now, I can walk anywhere in my house, and have strong signal, no dead zones. I'm a happy camper.

If you are looking for an easy to install WiFi router with excellent range - this is it! It took 15 minutes form opening the boxing and having my Network up and running. No installation CD or even complicated huge poster with pictures telling what to do. Just a simple little pamphlet that tells yo to plug in the router, wait till logo is solid then connect to internet using the included password. Afterwords open the Linksys link on the pamphlet to change the network name and password to your liking. There were a couple steps in between like unplugging your modem power and waiting a couple minutes here and there, but it took me less than 15 minutes from start to finish.

After I was connected to my Network I decided to check out the other options that were available. The menu interface is very user friendly, but I only used it locally not the web based version (Smart WiFi). From here I was able to disable the "Guest" account, and you can set parental controls or prioritize your devices by importance. You even can test the speed of your internet.

The range is incredible. My house it long and the single reaches end to end with not troubles or interference...5 bars show on all laptops to desktops, gaming consoles and streaming devices. All our cellphones picked up the signal immediately and even still show connected when we are outside.

Yes it is pricey but it will prove to you to be well worth the investment.

We bought the "D-Link DIR-625 RangeBooster Wireless Draft 802.11n N Router with 2 Antennas" to replace an older D-Link model that was blown-out in a power outage. I dreaded having to configure a new device, but was pleasantly surprised on how easy it was install and setup the DIR-625. It did take a few minutes to figure out where to enter my WEP settings, but once that was complete all of my home wireless devices (4 Laptops, a PC, a Wii, 4 DSs', a Disk Server, and a Printer) connected right away. The DIR-625 also has 4 network LAN ports and these came up with no problem at all.

My old wireless router only had one antenna, but the DIR-625 has two. This concerned me because I had a D-Link extended antenna so the old router would reach up to the second floor of our house. Happily, the DIR-625 provides coverage without needing the extended antenna.

For ease of setup and great coverage, highly recommended!

We'd been all over the map looking for a reasonably easy solution to play music outside.  For the longest, we were just opening up a window and placing a radio in it.  It worked fine, but obviously there was opening and closing the window, not to mention the loss of precious air conditioning!

We were looking at wireless speaker packages, but I didn't want to worry about batteries or running electrical cables.

Then I came across this little wonder and all my prayers have been answered. We have no problem receiving a signal through 1 floor, 3 interior walls and one exterior wall (about 130 ft if a direct line could be made).  Haven't fully cranked it (don't want to offend neighbors) but the unit is plenty loud enough for our needs.

My one complaint (not even worth a star) is that if the light is on a switch, and the switch is turned on, you will still have to power on the speaker by reaching up.  For my wife, she has to use a pair of tongs to reach the soft-button.  This will also reset the volume level to the factory default - easily solved by adjusting the source volume to the level you'd like, but worthy of mention none the less.

If those "shortcomings" don't bother you, by all means, BUY!

Bought this for couple of months now and I highly recommend this!  Range is excellent and setup is a breeze.  This router is installed in my basement and I get good signal in my attic using a Netgear AC wireless dongle.  I get 5G signal.  My technical expertise is an 8 out of 10 on routers.

I previously had a different Belkin router before this, so I trusted them for the most part as good in value without having to pay crazy for a Netgear. The one I had previous was basic, though, since I just needed a router at the time with a USB plug-in and range to literally the room next door where the router sat. Now we had to move the router to the opposite end of the house, and I couldn't pick up  a range that it would stick to without having to sit in a different area of the house, which with kids running around meant I couldn't get done what I needed to without interruption. So the main reason for this buy was to get a better range.
I just got this all set up (I knew how to set it up since I had one previous, but still the instructions that come with it are short and sweet and to the point, and took 20 minutes, max, to get all of our devices hooked up to it). I am currently sitting in the other end of the house and I almost have a full connection, and my internet is running faster as well, which is also a big bonus.
I decided to buy this despite some bad reviews because I noticed that most of the 1 stars where older, 2011. Most of the 5 star where newer, 2014. I hadn't seen any bad reviews from recent years (not saying there isn't any!) and decided worse case scenario I could send it back.
So far it's working great. It takes up less room than the old one, has better range, and is handling all of our device hookups a lot better. So far I would say I'm pretty satisfied, and would encourage anyone that needs the basics for a big home without having to pay 150 for it, this is a great deal!

I purchased this to convert into a LibraryBox (google it). Exceeded my expectations! Nice Wi-Fi range, and easy to configure. I expected signal to reach out to the street at best, but it was pretty strong up to 3 houses away!

Indicator LEDs are understated, not too bright or distracting. Well-supported in open source projects and firmwares. Nice!

These work great! Very clear sound and great range! Definitely recommend!

Super easy to install and move between computers! It's exactly what I needed. The range isn't as large as the built in wifi on some of my old laptops, but that's not too big a problem, especially considering the size and price.

After reading many reviews for range extenders/access points, I went with this for its price/performance ratio. I am pleased to say I made a great decision.
The unit has been working great for months as a WiFi range extender unit, even though most people recommend you not to use it this way for reliability, I have found absolutely no problems. The device catches my poor original router's signal just well and the signal it outputs is better than that of my original router! My whole house has net access now, before it was patchy as hell.
The USB port for connecting a media device is useful, but I did find a few issues when putting a volume with lots of music in it, the DLNA server gets a bit crazy and wouldn't collaborate with my Kodi-based media server. Granted, I did put a 500GB hard drive to it with more than half of it full of music. So it coped quite well (and I was surprised the USB port powered the little external HDD just fine).

In all this is a great tool for those who want to extend the range of their WiFi in a complicated house where their regular  wireless routers are having issues sending the signal through. Most recommended.

This is a fantastic and cost effective way to extend the Wi-Fi reach in Wi-Fi dead zones or in larger homes. When setting this up, do not place it in the actual Wi-Fi dead zone, where you get very poor coverage. Instead, you need to place this at the edge of your existing Wi-Fi reach, enough where the signal is still decent. Below is where this product really shines:

Setup  Setting up this range extender couldn't be easier. The instructions are great! Easy to follow. There is no surprise why it is called the "QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE". You are given two methods to link this to your existing Wi-Fi router. The first way requires a little more work using your web browser. You have to manually enter the password and information of your existing Wi-Fi router to link them up. The second method is a lot easier and what I would recommend. Just press the WPS button on your existing Wi-Fi router (most modern ones have this), and then press the connection button on the Wi-Fi range extended, and voila  all connected/linked! When you login to the device (using the IP address) you will also be able to see if the device is properly connected, and to which frequency bands.

Design  You plug this directly to a power outlet. This gives a lot more flexibility and also takes up a much smaller footprint. This is also quite an advanced range extender, packed into a sleek package/design. Even the box it comes in is awesome! Very Apple like overall. The side antennas can be folded, and you can set the angle anywhere in a 180 degree range. The top antennas slides upwards from behind the unit (instead of folding upwards). This gives a flat back design, which them means it can be placed flush against the wall.

Performance  I was amazed to see the improvement once I connected this range extender. One of my rooms had always been problematic (due to the design of the walls) and this immediately eliminated it. I am now also able to get Wi-Fi signal a lot further outdoors! I love the fact that this is an extension to the existing Wi-Fi router (SSID etc). This means my connection remains seamless as I switch between both when using my laptop.

LED control  There is a lot of flexibility with this LEDs. Though they look great, they can be distracting if you place this unit in a bedroom. You are given two options. There is a hard button on the device itself to switch off the LEDs entirely. The other option is to schedule when you want the LEDs to turn off! This can be done using a web browser and the login into the devices IP address.

Flexibility - This is fantastic for connecting older devices (consoles/DVRs/DVD players/TVs) that use an ethernet connection instead of built in Wi-Fi. All you need to do is place this Wi-Fi extender in a power outlet close enough to the older device, and then hook up an ethernet cable from the Wi-Fi range extender (yes it has one!) to the legacy device. This is great if you do not want to run a long ethernet cable from the older device to the existing Wi-Fi router/modem.

I have been using this Wi-Fi range extender for a while now, and have had zero issues. It is a very effective solution when you have poor coverage or a large home.

I bought this router based on the great reviews which significantly outweigh the negative ones. You ALWAYS risk receiving a damaged/defective item when ordering online, no matter where you order from. Anyway, these good reviews came true. This little guy cooks. I get between 70-80% signal on the other side of the house, about 60 feet away from the router. I can still get between 30-40% even down my street about 200 feet on the 2.4 GHz band, with slightly reduced range on the 5 GHz but still can get coverage through 6,500 sq. ft. house!

I love the range, and I live in a mobile home, so a big range is hard to accomplish with my metal walls!
I have a laundry shed and an area outdoors, and LOVE that the laptop and phone can still get an EXCELLENT signal. I also love the ease of use, it has a "wizard" setup but no magic needed here, just plug and play, it can't get easier.

Range was better than expected. Used this to replace 3 older Dlink and Netgear routers used as access points. Glad I didn't purchase an extra unit first, this covers the large home with 5 bars everywhere. One unit covered the house and far reaches of the 1 acre homestead. WoW! worth the extra $ over the single band.
Only drawback was the setup, by default it wants to use DHCP and I wanted to assign a static IP. Finally gave up with the clumsy interface software tool provided on CD to set a static IP.

Wow, set up in 3 minutes! Great range and great speed.

If you are having any problems with your wireless range this is your answer!  We have two homes on our property & wanted to be able to use our wireless internet in both homes.  We were rarely getting even one bar of internet signal & with this product now have a full 5 bars!  Only took 5 minutes to set up & get working.  Wish I would have tried this route first!
