IPhone 3gs and wireless repeater

Question

Hi, I read that home sharing doesn't work with repeater (under the main router work perfectly) but my problem is that under the wireless repeater I can't see shared library, but in the settings, if I type wrong credentials, it refuses, if I type correct credentials, nothing happens, but I can't see the library. Anyone have this problem and can help me? Why I can access and I can't see the library? It can be a problem of iTunes?

But, it appears that if you are a stanch Apple fan and have an Apple access point you have less chance of it failing.
Not true. Lots of people who own Aiport and TimeCapsule access points are having WiFi trouble too.
If you have near the current-technology access point that is not from Apple supporting 2.4/5Ghz then there is a chance of failure.
That's like saying if you are human you have a chance of dying. Well, yes, but not real helpful. There's a known issue with a subset of devices that are configured to broadcast both G and N signals and that, I guess is what you are referring to.
There are a few other conditions. But, Apple seems to be relying on the users to test it.
I'm not really sure what else Apple can do than that. You might be tempted to reply that Apple should buy one of every WiFi router on the market and test the iPad against it. Okay that sounds reasonable until you consider this: manufacturers change suppliers and update firmware without changing model numbers. You and two buddies can go out and buy the same exact router - by manufacturer name and model number - and essentially wind up with three different routers in terms of components and firmware. Given that situation how can Apple or any other company hope to test against all routers? And that doesn't even take into consideration the multiple ways a router can be configured, the surrounding environs, etc.
