CHARACTERISTIC OFREPEATER
REPEATERRepeater are the simplest type of connectivity devices that regenerate a digital signal
Repeater operate in the Physical layer of the OSI Model
A repeater contains one input port and one output port, so it is capable of receiving and repeating only the data stream
Repeaters are suited only to bus topology networks
Functions of RepeaterRegenerates & replicate signals
Extend the LAN segments
Moves packets from one LAN transmission medium
Connect buildings togetherAnalog frequently amplify signals
Digital can additionally reconstruct signals
Relay messages between subnetwork
Provide simple way to solve the Ethernet distance limitations
AdvantagesWireless Repeater or range extender is a device that help computer maintain stronger wireless signal by taking in signal from router and remitting them.
Detect and rebroadcast the wireless signal
Effectively halves the bandwidthDisadvantageWireless router can also served as repeater
Real world performance metrics show that router has a longer foot-range compare to repeater
