Network repeater

network repeater is a device used to expand the boundaries of a wireless local areanetwork. In the past, wired repeaters were used to join segments of Ethernet cable. Modern Ethernet networks use more sophisticated switching devices, leaving the wireless flavor of the network repeater a more popular device for use with wireless LAN at work and home. WLAN offer tremendous convenience, but a drawback of these systems is the limited area covered by wireless signals. Obstructions and other common electronic devices interfere with and degrade signal strength. This can make it difficult to connect from a basement, back room, or upstairs office, depending on placement of the wireless router and other variables. So we use network repeater for this problem. A WiFi repeater will pick up the signal from a wireless router and amplify it, propagating signal strength to boost the distance and coverage of the WLAN.
