Description

Using the Linksys RE6500 AC1200 Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-AC Range Extender, you can easily extend the range of your existing wireless router to create a strong wireless signal for all the devices in and around your home, including smartphones, tablets, ultrabooks, and more. This Linksys RE6500 extends the wireless coverage area by up to 10,000 square feet to eliminate dead zones. Greater coverage allows you to enjoy fast Wi-Fi speeds on your laptop or tablet--even if you're outside on the patio or in the garden.

Extend your Wireless
Using the Linksys RE6500, you can enjoy a Wi-Fi coverage area in your home of up to 10,000 square feet. The result is a stronger, more reliable Wi-Fi signal, allowing you to stay connected on your laptop or mobile device from anywhere inside--or even outside--your home.

Works with any Router
Featuring next-generation wireless-AC technology, the Linksys RE6500 is universally compatible with all Internet routers, including your service provider's router. Just connect it to your network, and you can access the Internet from any device, wherever you are in your home.

Next generation Wireless AC
Thanks to high-speed wireless-AC technology, the Linksys RE6500 creates Wi-Fi speeds that are up to three times faster than wireless-N. You also get double the channel bandwidth, with 80MHz wide channels providing more room for more data to flow faster than ever. With this extra speed, you can stream HD-quality videos and play online games seamlessly without interruptions or lag.

Simultaneous Dual-Band
The Linksys RE6500 features simultaneous dual bands, which means it transmits at both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies at the same time. It extends 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi up to N300 Mbps + AC867 Mbps and reduces interference. So no matter which band your wireless devices use, they'll automatically connect to the best available band for the fastest possible performance.

Crossband technology
With Crossband technology, the dual wireless bands can now receive information on one band and transmit on the other, reducing dropped data packets and delivering a stronger, more consistent signal throughout your home.

Gigabit Ethernet
Along with wireless connectivity, we equipped the Linksys RE6500 with four Gigabit Ethernet ports, which are 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet. You can connect up to four devices such as game consoles, smart TVs, and more to your Wi-Fi network.

Music Extender
Playing your favourite music on your home entertainment system just got easier. The Linksys RE6500 contains an audio jack that allows you to connect a speaker or stereo system and stream digital music from your smartphone or tablet.

Secure Wireless
To help protect your network and data, the Linksys RE6500 supports up to 128-bit encryption (WEP, WPA, and WPA2) and is equipped with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup button, allowing you to connect simply and securely with a wireless router or access point.
