This is the simplest device I have used all year. Just connect it to wall power plug and run the installation software. The simplest task is choosing which network the Extender will connect and amplify. The Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender comes with 2 x 2 antennas. One antenna to Send & Receive signal from the main wireless router you want to extend, while the other antenna, amplifies the signal further. This will definitely go a long way to help cover the dead spots in your home, areas that the wireless signal range from your main wireless router, that are not able to reach. You do not have to use it with similar Linksys wireless routers, it work across all brands. This is a good solution as you may not want to re-invest in another router to suit your purpose. However, combining the Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender as well as any of the Linksys Wireless -N Router ensure you get the maximum bandwidth, especially if you are on a fibre optic network. For consumers experiencing weaker signal strength or “dead spots” in the home, the Linksys RE1000 Range Extender is the perfect companion for wider home coverage. The extender is designed to take an existing wireless signal and repeat it throughout the home to ‘extend’ the signal. The Linksys Range Extender also acts as a wireless bridge – connecting a wired printer, Internet enabled TV or game console to the wireless network through its integrated Ethernet port. You can check out the table below to see the specifications for Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender.

This is the first time any WebOS device is going to be officially launched in Singapore. Being WebOS it supports Abobe Flash out of the box. The hardware is a 9.3" LED backlit capacitive screen at 1024x768 screen resolution. It sports a 1.3MP front facing camera, while weighing in at ~740 grams. Internally it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon DualCore 1.2GHz processor. The webOS 3.0 sports the 'Card UI' which allows real multi-tasking and also allows the user to switch between various apps using a slick interface. The Synergy feature allows the collation of data (like calendar events, contacts, email) from various services like Gmail, Yahoo!, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Microsoft Outlook into a single interface. The 'Just Type' feature enables device wide search by just typing on the main screen. The accessories for the TouchPad include a Touchstone Charging Doc which allows the TouchPad to be docked and charged at the same time without any cables. The TouchPad will be available from authorized retailers, and directly from HP from 12 August 2011 in Singapore. It will be priced at 16GB: S$699.00 and 32GB: S$799.00.
