Windows 10: Windows 10 blocking Telstra WIFI Booster

Hi there. I am not very tech minded so hopefully will not be asking a stupid question! I recently received a telstra WIFI booster for my gen 2 nbn modem, but it appears that my HP laptop sees it as a threat and windows 10 ends up in an endless cycle of trying to find a solution for the issue and restarting. All I can do is turn off the booster and link back up directly to the modem. Does anyone have any answers? Staff at telstra don't seem to understand the issue...

wifi signal booster

Hey Brian,

Let’s start off with a clean slate. Please reboot your wireless router, the signal booster(unplug, wait 5 seconds, plug in), and your PC. Do them in that order.

Then, on your PC, go to settings - network and internet - WiFi - see if you can see your signal booster on the list of networks to connect to. If the signal booster is working properly, you should see it on the list and be able to connect to it.

Let me know how you make out, and we’ll go from there!

wifi signal booster

Hi Charlie

I havent done the "turn0ff" routine yet...but I'd thought I'd mention that after my hard drive was replaced, I've checked settings several times...and a list of routers, including my neighbours", comes up....including my existing base router...but the booster
does not show...and the signal is the 1-2 bars that I was working with before I got the booster.

When I first got that booster, I had a "techo" friend (I'm 72 and I'm a whiz with military hardware of the 1960's-but not this stuff)!...install the booster...at that time the name HUAWEI-Y4AOGG was showing in the list of networks to connect to along with
my router...

Shall I still do the procedure?

(and thanks Charlie..I appreciate the help)

Computer WiFi signal booster . . .

My computer is a Dell 3583 Laptop. Running Windows 10 pro.

I'm living in a retirement home. The WiFi signal provided is very weak.

I want to purchase, a WiFi booster. I'm hoping, to find one.

That, plugs into an AC outlet. And, boosts the WiFi signal wirelessly.

I would rather not, have to run any cables. I'm not sure, I have an ethernet port?

Am I wrong, to think this can be done, wirelessly?

Please don't suggest. I talk to the company, that provides the WiFi signal.

I'd like to purchase it, from "Amazon" If, you can find one or more, that would work.

Please send me a link. Price, is not an issue.

I thank you, in advance. For any help you can give me. Thank for reading - Jerry
