Works great but conflicts with wireless internet signal
591040
I bought a RD100801275 a few years back & still have not been able to resolve this issue which is every time it is running my whole house wireless internet signal goes down, some how it conflicts with my router. Trying to find any information on this problem has a nightmare. Make sure you have a return policy where you get full refund if you get the same problem.

On the plus side it works great getting my computer's tunes to my home stereo.

I purchased this device to alleviate some of the stress on my main router that was coming from a large amount of wireless devices. A single TL-WA801ND works marvelously to help with devices that do not support 5Ghz connections. However, I am giving it 4 stars because I actually purchased 2 of these and with 2 on the same network I ran into broadcast storm issues. After reading into this I found that this is a common issue with these models. Great device but only purchase one.

I have an issue where the office is 90ft from the wifi router and as such the prior wireless wifi card (an ASUS PCE-15 that cost $15) was not quite enough to get connection on a sustained basis. I would lose the connection every 10 minutes. This wireless adaptor was much better probably because the antenna is external and I can put it on the desk, instead of hiding behind the desktop metal box underneath the desk. The setup was easy. The reception has been great, even for games.

My only complain is when I open a browser, it always shows the no connection screen. But once you type the URL, it appears to work fine. Not sure how to fix this annoyance.

The Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender is a good little gadget that earned an almost perfect rating from me. The setup was easy. You merely plug it into an electrical outlet near your computer (just to make sure it has a strong signal to make the initial connection) and then run the setup software they give you. The software steps you through setup with simple screens that lead you to make a clean connection between your wifi router and the range extender.

Once the connection is set up, you can unplug it from your electrical outlet and move it further away--say, to the point in your house or apartment where you feel you need that extra signal boost. The extender remembers the settings, remembers the connection to your wifi router, and when you plug it back into the wall someplace else, after a few seconds it just shows up on your wifi network list and you run off your wifi connection as you normally would. You're just getting a signal boost now via a re-transmission of the wifi signal from a point closer to where you like to be online--say, your bedroom upstairs.

The problem I had was that everything worked well--nice strong signal, easy setup and all--until I realized that I couldn't retrieve mail through the POP and IMAP accounts I always use to access my .mac mail on the Apple servers. This condition was true on both my MacBook (laptop) and my iPhone. I could access all my other email accounts, all websites, etc.

I called Linksys tech support and they were of no help at all. The person said they were trained only in setting up routers and extenders, not in connecting to outside services, and they suggested I contact Apple.

What I did was I disconnected the extender until I have the time to do some troubleshooting on this. As yet, it is unresolved.

I had also been having trouble with frequent dropped Internet, presumably because my router had been losing the IP addresses. Since I installed Windows 7 on my wife's computer, this has been happening more and more frequently. We have to reset the router sometimes 5 or 6 times in one evening. I had an aging router so I decided to get myself a new one, which I just installed the other day. It's a Linksys E2500, and it works extremely well: strong signal, easy setup, and only one router reset needed since I installed it 4 days ago. In fact, Linksys has an iPhone app that resets your router for you remotely, so didn't even have to go downstairs to reset it. The app worked great.

But this is about the extender. So, where we are is that I'm going to try installing the extender again, this time with the new router, and we'll see if the Mac-related problems still persist. I'll update this.

I decided to give the extender 4 stars here because it worked really well with absolutely everything except the Apple Mail accounts. If that's not an issue for you, bump this up unofficially in your mind to a 5-star rating, because it worked very well as a range extender and had very easy setup with quick results.

UPDATE:
I installed a newer-generation Linksys router and the Apple mail problem totally went away. No problems at all now.

works well, Samsung TV as well, but wireless connection needs to be added over and over, so not sure where the issue is, but when connecting it is fine

This device works really well.  The biggest problem I have is that when there is a thunderstorm or power blip of any type it does not reconnect with the primary router (Cisco Wireless N).  Everything is setup to dynamically obtain IP addresses, and all other devices (wirelessly connected printers, computers, etc.) on my home network seem to reconnect just fine under the same situation, just the range extender does not reconnect.  It is fairly easy to fix and takes about 5 minutes, by hooking the wireless range extender directly to the primary router, and running setup again, but more of an annoyance than anything else.  Otherwise, this device works as advertised.

I got a good price on this... there were wireless range issues (I got a cheap, small USB wireless adapter to fix that) but otherwise, it's been working great.

This has worked great. Wanted to stream movies from laptop to TV in living room. Wifi router in back bedroom over 60 ft away. On wifi was getting 13 mbps on laptop. Not bad but now I get 52 mbps with these adapters.  I am paying for 50 mbps from bright house. I now have the cable coming out of the power line adapter behind the TV connected to an 8 port switch. I have connected the TV, laptop, and Xbox to a wired connection from this one adapter with consistent 52-56 Mbps. ONE PROBLEM: when the power line adapters were plugged into the router, my wifi on my iPhone's and iPad would not allow internet connection. The phones would show that wifi was connected, then it would say "cannot open page - server not found."  This was very frustrating to say the least since the power line adapters were working as advertised. After much anger, I figured out that apparently the router was having trouble giving out ip addresses. I manually entered static ip addresses into the 2 iPhones and iPad and they connected correctly in a millisecond.  I also entered static ip addresses into the Xbox and TV.  PROBLEM SOLVED. A simple solution if your wifi seems to fail when you use these.

I have my wifi router in the bedroom and signals in the living room and kitchen were always fluctuating between good to weak.
I picked this little sucker up, connected to my PC to configure it, then plugged it into an AC outlet in another that's closer to where I needed a stronger signal. Works great.
My only issue is when I am in the living room, I have to turn off my phone's wifi, then turn it back on so that it'll auto connect to the range extender rather than the router in the bedroom. When I head to my room at night, I have to repeat the process in order to get a strong signal again.

I am using this Wireless Extender in tandem with the Cisco Linksys E3000 N-Wireless Router.  No issues.  His PS3 signal strength jumped from about 60 to 100%.  Increased signal in our basement.  The wireless router is on the main floor of a ranch home.

After two visits by U-Verse technicians I decided to troubleshoot my internet service problem myself.
I found one of two RF splitters was intermittently interrupting my internet signal.
I installed the subject 2GHZ Low-Loss RF splitter and my intermittent signal loss problems were gone.

This worked well for me before I hardwired my house with CAT6. This is a simple solution that gives you great speeds as compared to wireless. One caveat is that these do suffer signal degradation when running big appliances that share the same line. This system has status lights which goes from green to yellow to red depending on the signal strength. I've only noticed this turning red when running the dryer and sometimes the washer. The degraded signal still outperformed my wireless when doing speed tests.

The product does exactly what it is designed to do, however, I will have to return it as it interferes with my wireless cable box. When this is turned on my wireless cable box does not receive a signal. When I turn this off it returns. Will not work with my setup..

Works great, except the wireless connectivity is flaky. Needs frequent reboots to get the wireless to work.

A great 5-star 802.11g router, I got two.

But it is poor in wireless bridge mode. The web admin interface does not handle 'Wireless Bridge' mode configuration well, there is no status for Wireless Bridge, or elaborated help doc .

Even if you can make it to work, the speed on the bridged side is low (70 Kbps). The Tech support seemed unfamiliar with bridge support ( they seemed happily surprised that the bridge mode actually worked)

My wireless router is in my basement on the other end of the house from my bedroom.  My laptops have no trouble picking up the signal but this has a lot of trouble from that distance.  Once I got a wireless range extender it worked fine.  If you are going to have to set this up a long way from your wireless router you should take that into consideration.  Otherwise, we love our Roku.

I am using this as a wireless access point.  It made a night and day difference compared to my old setup.

Make sure you use good quality Ethernet cables.  At first I had issues with the AP rebooting randomly, which were solved when I replaced a crummy hand-crimped cable with some CAT 6a from Monoprice.  Definitely spend the extra dollar for shielded cables, according to the manufacturer this device uses power filters that take advantage of the PE connection if it's available.
