Question

Wireless network

Sep 8, 2015 2:33AM PDT

Hi, the wireless network in my university requires username and password to connect but in my dorm the connection is poor so I bought a repeater to extend the range of connection. how can I configure the repeater in order to enter my username and password to connect. The IP address of the network is hidden so I couldn't configure it by myself and I need help. Thank you

Back to their IT or support to ask them how to fix the issue.

run ipconfig /all
You will need the SSID if it's hidden, should find that in the network connection on your computer.
