I bought this as a replacement for a Linksys RE2000 extender which died after about 9-months of use. Yes, I realize this model is twice as fast as the RE2000 (600 vs 1200); however, the Linksys never performed up to expectations.
You'll find more than 1-web page out there that rates this one as the best performer currently available and I agree. The set-up was super easy as I was up & running in under 10-minutes. I'm not a network engineer but am pretty tech savvy as I have set-up several routers & wireless access points of my own and for family over that past several years. Didn't need that knowledge here. Its just that easy.
Get it set-up & running using the basic set-up. Once you're satisfied its working be sure to follow the instructions for the Fastlane set-up which uses both bands to optimize video streaming. This is what really solved my problems as Netflix was constantly stalling on one my TVs in the far end of my house. I no longer have this problem.
Yes, this one is more expensive but its true; you get what you pay for!
