probably like 80% of the people with a wireless network at home need even if they don't already know that they need it this is the re1000 wireless and range extender and now how many times at your house have you gone you know sort of just out of range of your wireless network like maybe you're sitting on the patio or maybe you're in your garage working on something and in frustration you see that you've got like one bar of Wireless strength and then you try to transfer a file and it drops out and it doesn't work I mean really you can't blame the wireless because you put so many obstacles like walls and cars and small crying children in between your router and your device and you're going to run into reception problems so this is from Cisco or link CIS by Cisco I should say this is a way to easily increase wireless network coverage throughout your home or business or wherever you want wireless network coverage even in your car if you wanted to although it would only work when you're close to your router which is at home okay home fine so 2.4 GHz band Ethernet Bridge Advance Security and easy setup The Cisco Advantage Cutting Edge technology from the networking leader Yep they're pretty undis disputed there best-in-class security okay award-winning 24/7 customer support and a 1year limited warranty broad compatibility Works seamlessly with all BGN Wi-Fi devices cool so I don't even need a Cisco or link CIS router in order to get this to work flexible placement all you do is plug into a wall outlet or desktop placement options to optimize the okay cool uh easy setup we've talked about that push button security for Wi-Fi protected setup WPS fast Ethernet built-in and quality of service devillers smooth video and gaming performance awesome so here's a little diagram but let's talk about the diagram after oh hold on ideal for enjoying added in home Mobility surfing the web gaming and chatting online in hard to- reach areas and finally easily connecting to an internet Ready TV or Blu-ray player so let's open it up unboxing quickly by lonus Tech tips okay so we find a bracket we find a power cord oh and it dropped okay got it nice long power cord look at this it's approximately one linest armspan in length and then we have an Ethernet cable which I will check the length for you as well with my convenient and easy to replicate units of measurement let's see what shall I use as a unit of measurement today maybe I'll use H NC lanyard okay approximately how many NC lanyards long is this looks like about 3 and half ncx lanyards in length for that particular Ethernet cable also known as 6 ft no 4T okay I'm not even going to try and guess in real units of measurement not that I really consider imperial units to be real units of measurement but you know that's a whole other argument um here we have the actual Wireless and range extender unit itself you got a little illuminated Cisco logo right about there you've got uh the two mounting options that they do talk about so the one is you take this guy right here you throw it right here there you go and then you are plugging that into the wall and that's your range extender there's your WPS OneTouch setup button there's your reset switch if you need to do a hard reset on the bottom of the unit there is your 10100 fast Ethernet port and if you do not want to use that option you can also throw this guy on here there you go and then you can plug in the power cord and that might get you that little bit of extra reach maybe you want to like plug it in at the bottom and then put it up on like a window sill so that you get better range in your backyard now before we go any further on this because I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it no no there's some documentation so there's a setup CD so you're going to want to actually you know might want to use this just because uh it's going to make life a little bit easier in terms of configuration for this guy uh avoid placing the extender ah here tips for successful setup so this is what I was just about to talk to or talk about avoid placing the extender or Associated rou or access point near metal objects reflective surfaces and masonry walls okay place the extender close to the router or access point during initial setup then move the extender to its final location after setup and for the best positioning of your extender tested in multiple locations now what Cisco hasn't mentioned or linkis or Cisco I don't know one of the two lynxis what lynxis hasn't mentioned about this product is that it's imperative that you do not place it where the reception is bad because if you take this device and let's say you want to have access in the garden and you put it in the garden thinking that now it's going to like create a wireless signal doesn't work that way you have this is Wireless client so you have to put this where it's going to get good reception rather than where it has bad reception already so I'm going to diagram this out for you guys and I'm going to like find a pen somewhere hold on hold on going to go find a pen and the Slick over there is going to have a closer look at uh the access point which is fascinating okay so here's your house pardon my terrible drawing that's your house uh this is your garage with your car in it oh wow okay there you go with your car in it and then on the second floor you have your wireless router see that represents a wireless router that little box right there okay so let's say this is the range of your wireless router and you're in the garage and you're like rage face you know like ah this kind of face okay because you can't quite reach so instead of putting your extender right here where it's also not going to have reception you want to throw your extender like over here like you know maybe at a window here or something like that so basically what you're doing is you're taking that range and you're making it just a little bit bigger that's the point so there you go thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look and positioning guide on the re1000 from Cisco link this by Cisco don't forget to subscribe to lineus Tech
