the server webpage.com:80 requires a username and password
The Indian lady on the phone was quite helpful, but we did not find a solution so far to this problem, so I am hoping somebody recognizes this problem :confused:

Ever since installing the netgear wn100rp "repeater" about 2 weeks ago, my complete wireles internet connection stops working with this popup:
the server webpage.com:80 requires a username and password. the server says NETGEAR WN1000RP
This happens when I am NOT connected to the _ext (netgear), but when I am connected to my MAIN-wifi signal. The main-signal the WN1000rp is supposed to repeat. Not supposed to break.
Setup: a wireless FON-spot that serves as WIFI-point (WPA secured). The netgear connects to the private signal on the FON. At any given time without (noticable) cause the wireless part of the entire system stops working. The wired part works! The solution so far: disconnect power to my modem (!) disconnect power to the fon, disconnect power to the netgear. Reconnect power to the modem, reconnect power to fon, wait till the fon has an IP address, connect laptop to fon, reconnect power to the netgear. NOW it works again. For an unknown amount of time. Till it suddenly stops again.
I bought the repeater to WORK. Not to damage my systems and making it impossible to connect to the internet! My "solution" is ofcourse not a solution.
I just noted, the webpage when connected to my main WIFI signal keeps refreshing http://www.somedomain.com/multi_login.html. It ofcourse never gets a webpage.
Help? Anybody?

- either of URL is likely to be other than netgear.com URL ...
you either connected some other network that is not yours.. - First, let me say that registering an account for using this site is not very user friendly. DO NOT SCAN READ WHILE REGISTERING!!!
Ok, on to this issue...
If you change the primary DNS in the IP Address Setup section of the administration interface of your WN1000RP extender to your ISP Primary DNS this message will go away.

Thank you so much for this. I was having the exact same problem. It looks like the WN1000RP was co-opting the network with it's own DHCP server. Really frustrating!
Hopefully this has fixed that problem.- I am not tech savvy and have to send this from a neighbours house.
Any easy to understand English instructions on how to fix this and how it happened?
