Set-up Wireless Access Pointer as a Repeater

Repeater Mode: In repeater mode, the AP functions to extend the range of the wireless network. It receives a signal wirelessly from another AP, and then passes it on to its own wireless clients. The repeater must have its SSID, Channel, and Encryption settings the exact same as the AP whose signal it is to repeat. The user must also enter the LAN MAC address of the main AP. The repeater does not need to be hardwired to anything (except a power source; at least until we get wireless power ). Wireless repeating is often a proprietary solution, and may not work in a mixed brand environment.

Install Error 0x800706F8

Upon installing Windows Server 2008, I encountered this error after only a minute of installation processes beginning.
"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error Code 0x800706F8"

In researching the issue, I found that the DVD driver firmware needs to updated.

After further searching< I find that I might have possibly burned the ISO at too fast of a speed.

• Who would be responsible to provide the 5 years history of email at a suit, the Network Admin of the sued company or Google?
