Solve this networking problem for me
I bought a Netgear N300 WiFi extender because my preferred laptop location is out of range for our ATT wireless modem that my wife and I use for Internet connection and home phone service. I had a little trouble setting it up, but got it to work finally. It works great, BUT, for some reason I get a Windows Security login screen when I try to go to Fox News. Any other site works fine. It prompts me for a username and password that I don't have a clue what it is. It isn't my computer login info, nor is it my SSID number to log on to the wireless modem/router. This is windows 7 laptop. My wife's computer still connects directly, without going through the range extender, and hers works fine.
Sound familiar to anyone?

Does your old Wireless allow your laptop to work OK, but not your new one? If nothing else has changed, then it is with the new Wireless. Call Netgear customer service.
Try and use your wife's connection for a minute with your laptop and see if the same pops up on your screen.

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
Or, maybe the fox news site is not recognizing you as a legit user and taking extra security measures.
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
CNN worked fine....................
Giggle your problem.

Tools / Internet Options
Select the Security tab
Select 'Custom Level'
Scroll down to the bottom and look at the Logon section. Make sure you have 'Automatic logon with current user name and password' selected.
About the only thing I can think of.
Obviously, a Liberal plot!
