Overview
Extending a router's reach into a far room is the job of the Linksys RE6300, a dual band extender that repeats the existing signal on both bands. Beamforming and cross-band technology are listed to strengthen the repeated link to your devices.
Support for both bands with beamforming makes it a straightforward fix for one weak room in a small home or apartment. Its rated wireless speed is modest for a household streaming on many screens at once.
Who it's for
Small homes with a single weak spot and light browsing or video use are the target. Large homes with several dead zones should look at a mesh system instead.
Pros and cons
- Radios on both WiFi bands
- Beamforming technology listed
- Cross-band technology listed
- Works with a standard router
- Coverage area not listed
- Modest top wireless speed
- Older 802.11ac standard
- Sparse listing with little setup detail
Performance notes
An extender can only rebroadcast what it hears, so the signal strength at its outlet sets the ceiling for the far room. Cross-band operation uses one band to talk to the router and the other to serve devices, which avoids splitting a single band between both jobs. Walls and floors between the router and the extender matter more than the rated speed.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Linksys RE6300 work with a router from another brand?
The listing gives router as the compatible device without naming a brand restriction, so it is meant to extend an existing home router's network.
Does the Linksys RE6300 replace my router?
No. It repeats the signal from an existing router and needs that router to work.
Does the RE6300 have an Ethernet port?
The listing does not mention one; the only connector named is USB 3.0. Do not count on a wired link for a TV or console.
