Review Text: Strong Performance, Especially AP Mode !!!. I tested this out using a Netgear Orbi Router and Satellite mesh configured system, so my scenario might differ from yours. But the performance of the RE9000 was great. I tested out the wireless performance as a stand alone extender as well as using it in AP mode. I must say, AP mode for the win! But both configurations tested out great. The setup is super quick and easy, as most Linksys products are these days. In under 5 mins after unboxing I had the RE9000 on my network. The spot finder is a great way to make sure you place the extender in the best possible area, as to not be too close to the source and muddy up the bandwidth signals, or too far away and not have it be able to do it's job efficiently. I have a 4000 sq ft home, and I used the RE9000 upstairs while my Orbi router was downstairs, so the range is amazing. Wireless performance was rock solid. Device connections were all strong and speed was very good. I have 1Gbps Comcast service and have well over 25 devices connected at any one time. The RE9000 handled all the traffic great. I ran in both dual band steering mode (2.4/5gHz) and as a stand alone 5gHz AC only mode. The real winner here for me is the AP mode, which is what I will mainly use this unit for. I want to use this as a stand alone 1 Gbps LAN via Ethernet for a subset of devices, and using in AP mode with the Netgear Orbi was awesome. Even wireless was stronger than my Orbi satellite. I was pulling in 400-500 Mpbs download with ease on my Galaxy Note 8. If you need a powerhouse extender for either wireless or LAN AP extension, this RE9000 will do the trick with ease.
