A word on the specifications. While the kit might support 802.11n, you will be limited by the 10/100 ethernet connection to your router or devices. 100mbps is going to be the max speed if you're using this kit.

Parts
There's no power bricks here, the entire unit is the power supply and the network connection all in one. Actiontec packages the WPB3000, the PWR500, an ethernet cable, and literature in the box. This is all you need to extend a wireless network.
There's no question that the WPB3000 is a large brick. This is a comparison to a DVD. The PWR500 is small enough for an outlet and won't protrude that far off the wall.
