Hi there,
I recieve signal from my university WLAN in my house but only right near
the window. I'd like to extend the range using a repeater but I don't know
whether this would work. The way we sign in to the WLAN is over a webpage.
The computer finds the signal, then I open the browser and the WLAN
redirects the browser to an online WLAN login. I enter my username and
password and then it forwards me to my homepage. I don't know any of the
router settings or anything, nor do I have permission from the uni to do
this. I am a student, so I'm entitled to use the WLAN. I just wondered
how a repeater works and whether I'd be able to extend the WLAN without
knowing anything other than the network name?
Thanks, Peter

Look for an Access point with the Universal repeater mode function.
The only thing you need to know is the campus SSID or network name to
connect to
