Hi,
I have been following this thread, and I'm curious.?
Can you tell us what the "Boosters" device is, name/model.??
When you say "Hook it Up", do mean physically plug the Booster into your Laptops.?
If you are plugging it in, what type of cable is it.??
I possibly have an idea, because a friend had a similar situation who wanted to "extend" his range.
He had bought a Wireless Adapter/Bridge by mistake, which was plugged in via USB,
"Boosters" or "Range Extenders" are "not" normally plugged into a PC/Laptop
You normally configure them through it's web admin page by connecting to it's default address.
You then select your main Routers "WiFi" Name(SSID) from a list, and then enter your WiFi key.
The extender is now linked to your main router.
Depending on the device/config it may have it's own default name, or it may just append a "-1" to the name(SSID) of main router.
So from your Laptop will now see your main router and a new device in it's Wireless list, You now connect to the new device.
From then on your Laptop should just roam/associate between your main router and the new device.
