Suddenly, my laptop will stay connected to the wireless network but not the internet. I can disconnect and reconnect but then it happens again. None of the other devices experience this issue. The only thing different is the addition of a Linksys repeater. Any ideas?

Is your laptop the only device on that repeater? What might be happening is your not linking your repeater to your router properly. Try connecting another device to that repeater to see if it can get internet as well. If not check your settings with your repeater to the router. As well remember to make sure your repeater is close enough that it can get connected to the router. A repeater doesn't magically give you internet, it just repeats the signal that it gets. If its too far from source, you're repeating nothing.
