[H] Using a Wireless Range Extender

[Anthony Q. Martin]

I bought one of these made by Diamond...it was pretty easy to set 
up...one of my android tablets detects both the ssid of the router and 
the receiver (using wifi analyzer)...and I can see the signal strength 
of one drop while the other rises, but both end up on both locations.  
My ipad won't connect to the signal of the repeater at all.  I tried 
giving the repeater a different SSID just to see if that would help the 
connection issue, but it didn't.  I'm not convince this thing will help, 
either.  Oh...seems like the repeater signal would drop to zero and then 
come back, periodically.  That doesn't sound good.

Any thought or ideas?  I'm thinking of sending this thing back.
