are you sure that the windows laptop is connected via the repeater?<br />
There are some issues when using linksys repeater with non-linksys wifi routers.. <br />
I only suggest linksys wireless repeaters to be used when the wifi router IS linksys. Other wise ill try to find another repeater compatible with your router..

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have set up a wireless network in a very large home &nbsp;Some areas of the home have week reception, so I have added a Linksys Wireless-G Range Expander WRE54G unit as a repeater.<br />
<br />
The behavior I see:<br />
<br />
1) &nbsp;My XP laptop connects fine throughout the home - 5 bars signal signal strength most places<br />
2) &nbsp;My MacBook Pro won't connect in the area covered by the repeater - only connects near the router, not near the repeater.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to fix the MacBook Pro repeater connection issue or is there a known issue that will keep it from working well?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Linksys repeater issue with MacBook Pro

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
