What we like about Linksys RE6350

  • Simple setup process, especially when using the WPS button or the Spot Finder technology
  • Effective at eliminating dead zones in medium-sized homes and extending reach to areas like garages or basements
  • Noticeable improvement in signal strength and connection stability for streaming and basic internet use
  • Compact, wall-plug design that typically does not block adjacent outlets
  • Budget-friendly price point compared to mesh systems

What we don't like about Linksys RE6350

  • Occasional connection drops requiring manual resets to restore service
  • Setup can be frustrating for non-technical users if the automated browser-based method fails
  • Does not support seamless roaming; devices may stay connected to the weaker signal unless the SSID is manually switched
  • Lack of built-in Ethernet (LAN) ports for wired device connections
  • Weak performance for high-bandwidth tasks like 4K streaming or intensive gaming over long distances

Verdict

The Linksys RE6350 is an AC1200 dual-band Wi-Fi 5 range extender designed to cover up to 1,000 square feet with combined speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps (300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band). Key characteristics include Beamforming technology to focus signals directly to devices, Cross-Band technology to maximize simultaneous data transfer across both bands, and Spot Finder technology for optimal placement. Main pros include its slim, space-saving design that leaves a second wall outlet free, universal compatibility with all Wi-Fi routers, and a simple setup process via the WPS button or browser. However, notable cons include its lack of an Ethernet port for wired connections, middling throughput speeds that may struggle with heavy 4K streaming compared to newer standards, and reports from some users regarding occasional connection stability issues.
