Cisco Linksys RE1000 Wireless N Range Extender - Unboxing

One of my main worry about wifi at home is coverage. Although I bought the Cisco Linksys EA 4500 which has the highest coverage, I was worried it was not enough. 

So I bought the Linksys RE1000 Range Extender at the same shop in KL to support the EA 4500 router. It was slightly cheaper in KL at the time when I bought it.

The set-up was only one time and very easy. It was 'fire and forget' set-up.

Here are the unboxing photos.

As with the router EA 4500, the texture of this Extender is the same. 
It comes with 2 sets of interchangeable plugs. As I mentioned in my earlier posting for the EA 4500, 
this is commendable that Cisco did this. It shows that they give a thought to their customers.

It also comes with a Cat-5 cable.

The power cables allow the Extender to be a desktop device. 

So it can either be plugged directly into a power point or with the cable, 

it can be placed on the desktop or the floor. Again, Cisco provided 2 sets of plug.

There is a Cat-5 jack behind. So it can be connected to the modem or any other device.

The set-up was extremely easy. 

This is how it looks like plugged to the wall socket. 

The Cisco logo glows when it is powered up.

Overall, it is a very useful device. I find that the router EA4500 router has already provided quite a good coverage for my apartment but this range extender covers any blind spot.
