Change your ISP to one that's more supportive and forthcoming with the info and settings you need.

Opps, my bad. My first reply was intended for someone else with an entirely different problem on a different thread!

It sounds like someone nearby may have hacked in to your wireless network.

You need to use your router's configuration utility to change the wireless key, and make sure it's set to use WPA or WPA2 encryption, not WEP encryption because WEP is very easy to crack.

Dude Dude Dude i think still u gave another problem answer hehe :D  Just Kidding

you dont understand what i am trying to ask,

when i connect my laptop1 on wifi repeater and open any page it show me hotspot login page for prepaid code, whne i enter prepaid code on login page and login in system i have access to internet on laptop1.

But on same wifi repeater network laptop2 automatic gain access to internet.
laptop2 should open login page and ask for prepaid code.

if i logout on laptop1, then laptop2 also cant access to internet and open login page.

i want if i log on laptop1 with valid prepaid code, laptop2 should ask for another code from hotspot.

it work fine on wifi router connected to server but i need to cover a long distance so i use the wifi repeater, but on wifi repeater it creating problem.

I assume it does not matter which laptop you log in the other gains access as soon as the first authenticates ?

This sounds the like both devices are sharing the same ip address. There is a chance it is the "universal repeater" mode. It depends what that means. Some device that do not support WDS for repeater mode can share a single MAC and IP as part of the repeater function. It is not common but there are devices that can do it.

I would suspect more that you are running the "router" as a actually router by connecting the WAN port. In this case all the machine behind the router will share the routers IP address. This is the major function of a router. The same as all traffic coming from your house to the internet is hidden behind a single wan ip in this case it hidden behind another level of ip addresses.

You want to run this router as a AP so the hotspot software can see the mac addresses of the end user machines....again both your router and repeater must support WDS or there may be more mac/ip address hiding going on.
