Hi Anshul

Thank you for trying to fix my Wireless-N Repeater problems, but I have tried everything in the documents you sent me and nothing has worked. I will probably give up and either pay a technician or buy another device to boost my wifi. It will probably turn out to be something quite simple I have overlooked but what I haven't a clue.

Hello Anshul

Thank you for replying to my post, in answer to your question when I click the wireless network name that pops up when I click my signal, I get the following error box which is directly under it "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network" along with a cross (X).

The make and model of my computer is a Samsung R540.

Please send any and all information on how to fix this problem in step by step form as I'm no computer whiz.

Regards

Jumbochick
