hello,

I am trying to configure a new wi fi repeater by using 192.168.10.1. But i am not able to connect to the repeater in the first place as it is asking me to " Enter the network security key". I am not sure how to solve this. To connect to the repeater, i am first diconnecting from main router.

Please help

Thanks

It sounds like you need to enter the security info for the main router for the repeater to connect. The repeater may have a WPS option to simplify connectivity. Your router would have to support WPS (and it is a security risk to have it enabled) .

Thanks a lot. I reset the repeater and then it did not promt for " Enter network security key". After configuring it via 192.168.10.1 i had to enter the key which is the same as that of the main router.

Thanks
