    Hi,

I set both to the same SSID, channel, security mode, security code, and updated to the latest firmware. It still doesn't work can someone help me it's much appreciated.

That's not correct. I have the Belkin F5D7132 repeating wireless signal from Buffalo router encrypted with WEP 128 bit. The Belkin is a UNIVERSAL repeater, and should be able to repeat just about any Wifi signal. However, the "one touch" button will only work on unsecured networks, so is of limited use IMO. I had to manually configure it using the web interface, and ensure that the encryption method and key is identical to the Buffalo router I am repeating, but it does work fine.

    Perhaps Gunhoe is talking about WDS (Wireless Distribution Service) supported by some routers. I believe that mode usually only works on WDS compliant routers of the same brand. A universal repeater is different, and should work with all brands.

The repeater must be the same brand as the signal it is repeating. Different routers / access points work in slightly different ways and the current generation of wireless repeaters aren't smart enough to work with other brands.

It's kind of like trying to put an engine from a Nissan Altima into a Honda Accord... both make the car move but they aren't the same inside.

hi ,,, i got yor problem. as ya said its not allowing ya to log nto it with security enabled. Ya can try to log into it with the ethernet cable as their wil be an ethernet LAN port onthe access point. I f ya know the default or the present ip of AP then ya can assign a static ip of the same range to yor computer like eg. ap is 192.168 .1.1 then your comp can have 192.168.1.10 and ya can log into it thru the ethernet cable and disable the security. i hope ya know how to assign a staic ip add to yor compuetr. or check the screen shots on brivers.com n select the "network connections" screen shots to assign a static ip address to yor' comp. feel free to chat with me on samrat101 thru yahoo or msn messenger or drop a mail on samrat101@yahoo.com for ny wless n ipphone issues -- take care ,, samrat

Hi there

I think up to now you've been using someone else's Internet service, by picking up the signal wirelessly. You need your own Internet Service. You now connect your access point in the way the Internet Service Provider guide you. It is a different set up with cable (they provide a modem) or with BT (connection through your phone line).
