Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the RE6700 for its solid AC1200 performance, effective Cross‑Band backhaul, and useful extras such as beamforming, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and the Spot Finder app, noting it outperforms peers like the Amped Wireless REA20. However, they point out the single‑outlet limitation, modest speed drop at distance, and outdated security features as drawbacks.
What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the easy plug‑and‑play setup, the ability to stream audio via the 3.5 mm jack, and the reliable coverage in large homes, while common complaints focus on reduced speeds at distance, the loss of the wall outlet for other devices, and occasional signal instability without optimal placement.
Common Complaints
Reduced throughput at longer distances, loss of the wall outlet for other devices, occasional signal drops without Spot Finder placement, and reliance on older security protocols like WEP.
