I just connected my Orange Wi-Fi repeater to my Orange Livebox. However, the repeater does not allow my computer to access the internet. Although the reference of my box (connected and secured) appears in the list, I see the message: network not identified;
When I move closer to my box, my computer works fine. The Wi-Fi repeater was connected to the box using the WPS button. I positioned it halfway between my desk, and it is not fulfilling its role! What should I do?

    Hello,
    my setup doesn’t mean much, it depends on the environment.
    Your repeater should be placed where it has a good signal from the box and behind, we have to hope that it is also properly connected to the PC.
    Does the repeater not broadcast the Wi-Fi network under the same name as the box?

    and ... There you go!

      A thousand thanks Brupala; I had followed the manufacturer's instructions but now I have done what you recommended and moved my repeater. In fact, it is now next to my desk and I have the connection.
      Have a good day.
