The simple config did not help and needed a little more research

At first, connection was dropping and I thought I made a wrong decision. After some research, I found the below info in a Cisco Community as I also had a 802.11g network. Have done this and the performance seems to be very much improved.

In order expand the wireless signal you can go for RE1000 (Range Extender). The RE1000 is meant to extend the range of an 802.11n network. While the device has the ability to extend the signal for a traditional 802.11g router, still it is not recommended. Th...

Easy, Flexible,Simple and Perfect

Most wireless extenders on the market require you to plug directly into your wireless router and broadcast an additional SSID. The Linksys RE1000 is a little different however as this one does not require you to plug directly into the router to extend the signal. It does indeed broadcast another signal but the easy setup uses a start up CD that you just put into your laptop and answer a few questions and it will match your existing settings.
Unfortunately price are drop in 3days after i bough...

Simple to use

I ordered this last week. Flipkart, as is usual, delivered _before_ time.
Setup was dead simple. I had to connect the device to a AC socket and then use a laptop to set it up.
Total setup time: ~ 5-8 minutes

Once this was done, the Setup (works on BOTH Mac & Windows by the way) directed me to place the repeater in the target location.

I did and I have a significant boost to my WiFi signal in all parts of my home.

A good buy in all.

Great product..

I have a 3000 sq. feet house with thick concrete walls so there was a problem of wifi coverage.
I searched many products online & read many reviews n came across this product, luckily I found it on Flipkart as well & ordered it. Got it in a week which was estimated.
Firstly looks wise, it is descent & is smaller than your palm so easy to hide if you want.

Set up: Set up was really easy, what you need is a wifi enabled laptop with CD reader,wifi router n power socket to plug it in near your r...

Great product

Purchased this about a week back and its working fantastically. The set up process is extremely simple and user-friendly - simply use the CD provided and follow a couple of steps. The booster also is a simple plug-n-play one.
We have the wifi router in our bedroom and the range in the 2nd room and parts of the living room was not good.It has helped me boost the wi-fi range to both these places - it works like a charm.... truly recommended to all...

Works Perfectly!

Instant setup, very convenient. Works as described.
I heard there is a newer model available now RE2000, which supports dual bands, but this one does work well.
Especially useful in a concrete house.

Really a great product ......

Easy to setup. DHCP IS WORKING fine. Great coverage. Just awesome.
I am using it with Linksys X3000 router. Planing to buy another one.
Only problem is MAC filtering but if you are a tech guy it's a easy job to solve that problem.
And most people just don't need this feature usually.
So just use it it's fantastic.

Genuine Good Product

Its a very good product and stands up to the expectation of average household range extender requirement, the guide associated with the extender is comprehensive for a IT person to set it up and run smoothly though it can be a bit of challenge to setup for non Tech Guys. As advised in many Tech forum, it recommended to place this extender in a area where you have okay coverage as then it will perform better and have less drops in signals. With proper placement of the device I have been able t...

Very easy to configure and very powerful

What it does:
1. Hijacks the SSID of the existing router and broadcasts its own with the same name.
2. You get a executable along with the router.
3. When you boot the router for the first time it will broadcast a new SSID. You don't need to know anything about it.
4. Launch the Executable which will scan all the existing network. Including your existing router AND you new Cisco router. The list will not show this router.
5. Select your existing router and provide the connecting password.
6. ...
