This review is from: Cisco Factory Refurbished Linksys E1200 Advanced Wireless-N Router (Electronics)

It came fast and so far is working great…would recommend! I was scared of the refurbished part of it but it has been working like it was new

You can get a 256kbps speed with a 150 MB quoter (which is really small) for $ 10AU per month, but if it is for a backup line, it doesn't really matter. You can get a 1.5 Mbps (quite fast) with a 3GB quoter (quite big) for $ 30AU per month. Anyway, go to the dodo website if interested, Good Luck :) If you are an Australian,

I’m sorry about the frustration you’ve experienced with the RE1000. We have posted some tips on improving the performance of the extender on our user forums located here

http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Facebook-Support/RE1000-It-s-not-the-setup-that-is-difficult/m-p/469216/highlight/true#M1097

I also wanted to mention that you actually can do MAC filtering but because the RE1000 is a proxy repeater, you have to define both the global MAC of the client and the virtual MAC that the RE1000 calculates in the MAC filtering table of the router.

To find the virtual MAC addresses, access the RE1000 UI, and go to Status/ Statistics/ Wireless Client MAC table or Wired client MAC table, there you have a table with all the connected clients, their MAC address and the calculated Virtual MAC.

We’ll be posting the MAC filtering information in our user forums as well.

It’s not the setup that is difficult…, December 2, 2011

This review is from: Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender (Personal Computers)

The problem (that I believe the majority are facing) is not setting up the RE1000, it’s the RE1000 dropping other devices from the internet after couple of minutes.

I.e. devices connected to the RE1000 will still show you full home wifi signal strength and never loose connection to the RE1000, but they simply loose the ability to connect to the internet (i.e. browse the web, etc..).

I’ve used the RE1000 it to extend my Cisco Linksys E4200 signal, and this device has been nothing but pain so far, and it seems I’m not alone at this.

I’m a senior software developer, and own plenty of routers, many of which are custom dd-wrts, and rarely I find something this frustrating to use without being the manufacturer at fault.

Anyway, I’ll hopefully update this review if Cisco releases a firmware upgrade that fixes this device. So until then, my advice is stay away.

p.s.
to whom it may concern, RE1000 also doesn’t support mac address filter option enabled on your home router that the RE1000 is extending.

Other devices won’t be able to connect to the RE1000 if mac filter option is enabled on your home router (even though those devices’ mac addresses are properly listed in your home router along with the RE1000 mac address).

Found the secret to keep it from dropping out of service, November 3, 2011
By 
This review is from: Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender (Personal Computers)

At first I thought this product was CRAP! The first 2 weeks was nothing but nightmare. the repeater was dropping in and out of service religiously. Then I found the secret. Change the ip from DHCP to static! I’d use the first 100 of the last address. This thing been working like a charm since then. Haven’t dropped once. I’d give it a 5 star for its performance but minus 2 for letting me thru hell to figure out how to make it stable.
