  • Because the router I have has a greater range that the access point I'm using, and with the Ethernet Cable (long enough) I can put my wireless router wherever I want and get internet all over the place!

    Thank anyway. And I managed to work things out :D It was just some issue that was found in windows 7, I just had to reset the wireless router, unplug it, unplug the access point, then turn the access point back again, and then the router, and in the end connect the ethernet cable!
  • Dear all,

    Recently I've been having trouble with accessing the internet anywhere around the house, so I thought of buying an access point and connecting it to the main router via Ethernet cable and connecting the access point to a wireless router. The whole process worked at first but then suddenly, when the electricity went off, the connection to the internet wouldn't work when connected wireless-ly.

    I tried all the possible known solutions, and didn't really get to a final fix.

    When I tried the windows diagnosis, i came up onto this error: ***the connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the internet is broken***

    No other errors appeared.

    However, when I connect my access point directly to the laptop via Ethernet Cable, I get access to the internet!

    Thanks all in advance!
  • Never mind it guys, I managed to solve the problem... If anyone deals with a similar problem dont hesitate contacting me... It's really simple however i have to sleep therefore i wont be able to post it now...
  • Hello everyone, Well it's good to be back to the forums after a while.

    Anyway, Recently I've been dealing with connection issues around my house because of weak wireless signal, so I though of getting a wireless repeater and connect it "wireless-ly" to the original wireless router from the dining room (where the signal is excellent) to achieve good wireless coverage around the place. However, After setting the repeater to the required settings, I had to choose the router SID, I chose mine "PlaceMax", but no password was prompted, and after connecting to the Edimax repeater, I wasn't able to access the internet... Is anyone familiar with repeaters? and what should I do to fix this problem? Shouldn't a password be prompted to get access to the original router?
    I've been told that connecting it via an Ethernet cable to the original router would fix the problem, but that's not an option, and before buying the repeater from multimedia megastore, I got a positive reply about its ability to connect "wireless-ly" to the original router...

    Thanks In Advance!
