I have a similar problem.
The repetitor doesn't work anymore. I can't see the network and I can't connect from the computer using cable.

I also want to report that the device needed to be turned on and then off almost every two or three days, because it hanged that often.
Once I tried to connect a computer using a cable, in order to connect that computer to the internet (the computer had no WiFi) and it didn't work. I don't really understand why the device has a 4 port hub if it can't provide connection by cable.
I never tried Wi-Fi repetitors from other companies, maybe they are not better, however I want to say that my experience with WN2000RPT was far from wonderful.
