We have a variety of range extenders: RE1000, RE2000, RE3000, RE4000 and RE6500. The best range extender for will depend on what type of wireless network you have. If you have dual-band router, you can choose between RE2000, RE4000 and RE6500. Powerline adapters also helps you extend your WiFi network by making use of your electrical connection. For more details, check the links below: Powerline Adapters: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=17151 Product comparison chart for Linksys range extenders: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=728b4d6a49b64beda1b0ec60ffcd7621_Product_Comparison_Chart_for_Linksys_Range_Extenders.xml& This should also help you out: http://www.linksys.com/en-us/wireless/build/my/network The difference between 200Mbps and 500Mbps is that the latter is faster in terms of transfer rate than the former.

Hi Stephen, This model comes with Gigabit Ethernet, so you will have to buy/use a Cat 5e or Cat6 Ethernet Cable to get the most out of the connection. It does not come with WiFi so if you wish to connect it via Wireless, the easiest way is to purchase a USB Wireless Adapter that best matches your existing router at home. Hope that helps!

N is just the next wireless standard (IEEE 802.11). Home WiFi routers have progress from A to B, G, and now N corresponding to speeds of approximately 1.5Mb, 11Mb, 52Mb, and 300Mb. Note that you will only get the 300Mbps speed if your computer (or other wireless device) also has a wireless-N adapter. If it is lower speed, this router will be backwards compatible and run at that speed. Also note that while your WiFi in your house may run at 300Mbps, your DSL connection through your phone line will not. Max speed for this ADSL2 modem are about 10Mbps, so that is about the best you can expect if you are paying for that level of service.

WiFi is so dependent upon the obstructions and type of obstruction. Also so many things today use the 2.4 ghz frequency. So if you are all alone in the middle of no where vs in the middle of an apartment complex will impact your range.I do like this router and I think it will probably give you the best range. I did add a directional antenna and this improved the range. One last thing. Nothing beats wired.

The specific range is not stated in the owner's manual, but a You Tube video contained speed test results at 25, 50, and 75 feet. The owner of the router determined that speed dropped off at 75 feet, which in his case was outdoors and through several walls of the house. There are separate range extenders available for ranges up to 10,000 feet, but the prices are fairly high, (almost $400.). My person experience with the Belkin N150 router is that it works perfectly throughout my 3-story house and in my back yard. Hope this was helpful.

My router and extender are in 2 different buildings roughly 150' apart. I can stream video without buffering and internet speed is very good. Been using this unit for about 5 years now. Setup can be a little confusing. Just check and recheck that extender settings match with routers settings. The smallest of adjustments make all the difference. Don't just use the quick settings. Use the manual settings to check.

You need a router which generates 5Ghz. The extender just extends the signal the router generates.

Unfortunately, this is High Power Router not an extender. If you were looking for an extender, you may want to consider the SR10000.

I upgraded from a Netgear WNDR3700 N600 to this Netgear AC1900 (R7000) and the range greatly improved. Areas of the house that had no signal before now have 4 out of 5 bars. I also tried a Apple Airport Extreme and was sort of disappointed that the range wasn't even as good as the WNDR3700. I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money on the NETGEAR AC3200 (R8000)

That's an interesting question indeed...I have a 450 connection and with the devices connected through the extender the speed does fall albeit not down to 150 but there is a downgrade none the less - however for the connectivity it provides - I don't mind suffering a little less speed once I have internet access - for devices like my laptop that needs the speed I ensure it is closest to my home router so that I utilize that speed....its all a matter of preference

2.4 Ghz works perfectly. I don't have a 5Ghz WiFi router, so I don't know if there is any performance gain from the higher frequency, but I suspect not, assuming similar signal strengths for both.

This does not have a wireless extender feature. The unit will connect to the Wi-Fi and only provides internet through the 4 Ethernet ports. If you are looking for a Range Extended and Ethernet bridge combo, you will need the Linksys RE6500.

From what I've read the extenders just give you a stronger signal for longer distances. Other then that I think you are asking if you need to either buy another unit for three units or if it just gives you a stronger and longer distance control???Don't quite understand the question and am not familiar with the extenders. Maybe a Tech at Amazon can help........

I don't know because my internet went up to 75 MBPS, I used to use these Netgear 85 adapters, but noticed that they slowed down the download speed, so I switched to TP-LINK TL-PA4010 KIT (2 adapters) they are 500 MBPS and work great, measures the same speed directly at the router and in the other room via TP-LINK. I through away netgears 85, old technology by now. Good luck

I believe it is. I also have the referenced router but chose to get a newer model. The wifi extender on the box says it extends 2.4 GHz wifi signal from any router. So it should work nicely.

It depends on the size of your house and the location of the router. I have one of these routers in my house. It seems to be a good router but I did have to put in a range extender due to the router not giving a strong signal in my entire house. I have a 3 level home with the router in the lowest level and the extender on the main level. this made for the best configuration for me. Hope this helps you.

This only extends the 2.4 band. If you want both you will need to get the one that is meant for both bands. This is double the price of this one to extend the 5. This one woluld be used if you had multiple floors or long range that didn't get a great signal. The 5 band is more for large throughput versus the 2.4 that is easier (and cheaper) to extend.
