My guess(tm) would be Linksys RE6300, RE6400, or RE6700:
https://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-RE6300/

The problem with a wall mounted solution is that the antennas are in a
terrible location for best coverage. They should be up as high as
possible and away from any metal objects. These repeaters are made
for installation convenience, not performance.

Incidentally, if they say Cisco on the box, they're at least 3 years
old. Belkin bought Linksys from Cisco in about 2013. The purchase of
Belkin by Foxconn is awaiting regulatory approval.

Someone mentioned power line networking. In a sub-station, you want
as much air-gap isolation from the lines as possible. That leaves
wireless, FSO (free space optics), and fiberoptics as the available
options.
