Does the router accept special characters ($@&amp;!?+* etc) as the SSID and password?

I don't think that it is necessary to set the pass by using special characters since this device is for temporary use only. You can get Free WIFI from most of the hotel, so I didn't use this function. I use it receive free WIFI and transfer to LAN. Then link to my internet phone. So, I can call and receive call from anywhere of the world and pay as local.

If your landlord is providing your wireless then that means you have the password or the router is not password protected and it should work. In either case, walk around the building until you get a strong signal and an outlet to plug in the RE1000. Follow the directions to synch it to the router.

I'm not sure - all I can tell you is that the repeater appears as a separate router with a different login and password. Hope it helps.

AT&T; requires a user name and password authentication, unless they made some software changes this modem does not have a configurable password and authentication. If you are using it with a router you can get around this issue.

The password to the router is underneath the router itself, and usually its the name of the router for example crystalview_35W122ABThe 35W122AB is the default password, and if that does not work reset the router by putting a pin in the reset button while it still plugged in

yes when you log in to router with 192.168.1.1 (default) username: admin (default) pass: password.there is a option called wireless settings in that you can give your wireless a name and assign passphrase so it can be secured and nobody else can use it.

This is supposed to provide the capability to be used as a "wireless bridge" with the same SSID name, but I have not been able to get thst to work. Could be my inability, not necessarily the system

John, I couldn't get mine to connect so I called Samsung and was told that my router's security setting must be WPA2. My router couldn't do that so I replaced it. The new router worked well 1st time. The default password was 8 numbers but I later changed it to 10 characters. It worked both ways. Paul

The password it wants is the long password for your modem/router. Check the documentation for that piece of equipment. It might also be printed on the back of the router.

I connected with a 16 digit WEP password for the local WIFI. Try again by re-entering the WIFI password again(it will appear to already be filled in, so click the box). It is easy to mess it up. I copied it to a text file so that I can just paste it into it. Find it in the list of Networks. Try repair perhaps. (Rt click monitor icon in taskbar). See manufacturer's answer here for more help!

Hello from Medialink, WEP security keys can be Hex or ASCII characters. Hex characters are not case sensitive and default to lowercase. If your WEP key is case sensitive then it has to be ASCII. But if it is ASCII it can only be 5 or 13 characters. And since you are getting past the window that you enter the key into, I'm sure you are entering the required 10 or 26 characters for Hex keys. Basically what you are saying does not add up. There are several combinations of Authentication, Encryption, and Keys but the easiest thing to do is go into your router settings and find your Wireless Security Settings and match them exactly on the adapter. Give us a call if you need further explanation on the different types of keys and security settings. Thanks, Medialink 856-216-8222 M-W 9-6 EST Th-F 8-5 EST

Yes. It's a standard router. Just plug it into your cable modem and you're good to go. Password is on the bottom of the router.

If you are referring to the wps button on the router then yes their is one on the router however you should be able to just look your ssid (your wifi name) simply by searching for it from your tv. All you have to do is go into your tv settings and under networking, smart hub (samsung) or something similar to it you can find the ssid and then enter the password and you are done

there is a tag under the unit or the router that has the User name and the password for the system

Just installed and as far as I can tell it DOES NOT use the same SSID as your wifi connection. It appends "_2EX" to the repeated SSID name and creates a totally separate wifi connection. Therefore your device will have to be set to one or the other SSID depending on which one gives you better signal at your location. The way this question was answered before I thought I was going to be able to name the extended SSIDs with the exact same SSID as my router. It does not appear that it works that way. If someone has figured out how to match the names and have it work that way I'd like to know how it is done.

I do not believe so, but the initial log in process to set your SSID is very straightforward, and only requires an ethermet RJ45 connection. It is a stable and very easy to use repeater, better than some others because it repeats your exact SSID, not a version of it.

I had never tried that, but I just tried to put a tilda over an N with the ALT+0241 and it worked! I'd say you're good to go!
