Category: linksys wifi extender
Enhance your home's wireless coverage with the Linksys AC1200 MAX Wi-Fi Range Extender (RE6500), designed to eliminate dead zones and extend your Wireless-AC signal. With the capability to cover up to 10,000 square feet, this extender brings reliable wireless internet access to even the most distant corners of your space.
Equipped with advanced Wireless-AC technology and dual-band capabilities, the RE6500 allows seamless streaming of HD-quality movies and gaming without interruptions. It features four Gigabit Ethernet ports for stable wired connections and includes an audio jack for connecting speakers, enabling music streaming from smartphones or tablets. The setup process is effortless—no installation CD is necessary.
The RE6500 not only removes dead spots but also offers speeds that can reach up to three times faster than traditional wireless-N extenders. Its wireless-AC (802.11ac) tech is compatible with nearly any Wi-Fi router or gateway. Simply link the RE6500 to your existing wireless network, and you can enjoy internet access throughout your home on multiple devices.
Position the RE6500 in areas where you face weak signals, such as an upstairs office or a remote outdoor patio. The extender captures your router's signal and redistributes it, effectively reducing those pesky dead zones.
Featuring simultaneous dual-band technology, the RE6500 broadcasts at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, facilitating data transfer speeds of up to N300 Mbps + AC867 Mbps. This makes it ideal for larger homes where multiple devices are in use, especially for heavy online media consumption. Thanks to reduced interference, your wireless devices will always connect to the best available band, optimizing their performance.
The innovative Crossband technology of the RE6500 allows it to receive data on one band while transmitting on another. This feature minimizes dropped data packets, providing a more stable and consistent signal throughout your living space.
Alongside its great wireless capabilities, the RE6500 offers four Gigabit Ethernet ports, which are ten times faster than standard Fast Ethernet ports. This allows for quick and secure wired connections to desktop or laptop computers and is perfect for devices in close proximity.
In addition to ethernet connectivity, the RE6500 includes an audio jack, making it easy to connect a stereo system or speakers to wirelessly stream your playlists from any smart device or computer.
Like other products from Linksys, the RE6500 ensures security with support for up to 128-bit encryption (WEP, WPA, and WPA2) and features a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button. This ensures a secure and easy connection to your wireless router or access point, keeping your data safe.
To set up the RE6500, simply follow these easy steps: connect the antennas and power cable, plug in the extender midway between your router and the area that lacks Wi-Fi, wait for the solid light indicator to appear, and then connect to the "Linksys Extender Setup" network on your computer or mobile device. Proceed with the web browser setup as per the instructions in the Quick Installation Guide.
The Linksys AC1200 MAX Wi-Fi Range Extender (RE6500) package includes a power supply, two dipole antennas, an Ethernet cable, and a quick installation guide. With this versatile range extender, you can not only extend the wireless coverage of your home but also streamline your media streaming and wired connections.
