    I have a Rosewill RNX-NP4S as the actual router and a Rosewill RNX-Easy4 set up as the repeater and I am able to get the repeater to work but whenever I have the repeater on, anything connected physically to the router loses its internet. When I unplug the repeater it comes back on. I know pretty much nothing about wireless networking and I have no idea why it is doing this. Can anyone help?

    Never mind. Figured out that both routers had the same default IP so they were both trying to access it at the same time. Just had to change the IP of the repeater.
