Repeater mode Wi-Fi equipment
Repeater mode
— an operating mode in which the equipment only repeats the Wi-Fi signal from another device, playing the role of a repeater.The main purpose of this function is to expand Wi-Fi networks, providing access where the main device (for example, a router) does not reach. A classic example of repeaters is Wi-Fi amplifiers (see "Device"), they have this mode by definition; however, it is also found in other types of Wi-Fi equipment. The exception is MESH systems that have similar specifics, but differ in the format of work. For more information about this format, see the relevant paragraph; here we note that networks with repeaters are in many ways inferior to MESH in terms of practical capabilities, but they are much cheaper, and their capabilities are generally quite sufficient for relatively simple tasks.
