Speedport W100XR repeater help

[hawkco66]

Help please, I don't speak German..yet, except for a few words.

I have DSL service with T-punkt and am using the T-com Speedport W 700W wireless router with no problem.

Today, I tried to install the Speedport W 100XR as a repeater to extend my range to my top floors of my home.

T-punkt told me to disconnect my PC ethernet line from the router and plug it into the repeater. After doing this I was able to access the configuration menu okay. I then input my SSID and selected a channel number. I saw no option to enter my WPA password when doing this. I then removed the ethernet cable and plugged it back into my router. I then moved my repeater to its location. I attempted to access internet with my wireless laptop. I noticed I now have two SSIDs to choose from. The original signal, which was weak, and a newer signal very strong, but not secure. However, though the signal is strong and it shows my laptop connected, it will not allow me to use the internet.

What am I doing wrong or what have I not forgotten to do?

What can I do to secure my repeater?

thank you,
Greg

What can I do to secure my repeater?

Hi Greg, I don´t know the Speedport W100XR repeater, first I´ve to study the manual
But there is a thread which deals with this and other products from AVM (the manufacturer), please post your question again there. The link is here.

Otherwise, I try to find something out about the problem.

Hi Greg, I found a hint in the manual: If you are using a product from the Speedport series, and the 700W seems to be one, it should be possible to export the configuration settings from the Speedport and import them into the W100XR.
So, if I've understood that right, you only have to configure your Speedport with the necessary security (best: WPA2 with Pre-shared key), export the settings, import them and the Repeater uses the same parameters as the base station.

Now, your repeater should be secured too.

Greetings...

thank you,

I reposted as you suggested in the other section.

Can you offer many any steps to take as I can't read the manual? None of my translating manuals have the more modern words dealing with computers or technology?

Greg
