How do you have the unit configured? As a receiver of WIFI from your home ?
Did you try to configure it while inside your house? Just a laptop connected to it?

After trying 3 days I was able to get it working, but the problem is When i repeating the wifi I cannot change wifi name to another it doesnt get internet, It has to be same name and password of main wifi name.

You may be limited to just the remote WIFI. You should be able to use the ethernet cable to drive another WIFI access point or router. That is the way that unit was designed to be used.
