Verdict

The Linksys RE7000 Max-Stream is a dual-band AC1900+ Wi-Fi 5 range extender designed to eliminate dead zones by covering up to 10,000 square feet with combined speeds of 1.9 Gbps (1,733 Mbps on 5GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4GHz). It features advanced MU-MIMO technology for simultaneous data streaming to multiple devices, Beamforming to focus signals, and Cross-Band technology to maximize simultaneous data use across both bands. Its main pros include seamless roaming when paired with Max-Stream routers, a compact plug-in design that doesn't block adjacent outlets, and a Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed wired connections. However, some users note its range performance can be middling compared to competitors, it lacks a pass-through power outlet, and the unit can become quite warm during heavy operation.
