2. Wireless repeater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_repeater

   A Wi-Fi Repeater. A wireless repeater (also called wireless range extender or wifi extender) is a device that takes an existing signal from a wireless router or wireless access point and rebroadcasts it to create a second network. When two or more hosts have to be connected with one another over the IEEE 802.11 protocol and the distance is too ...

3. Wi-Fi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi

   Also, a wireless device connected to any of the repeaters in the chain has data throughput limited by the "weakest link" in the chain between the connection origin and connection end. Networks using wireless extenders are more prone to degradation from interference from neighbouring access points that border portions of the extended network and ...

4. Repeater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeater

   A radio repeater retransmits a radio signal. In telecommunications, a repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it. Repeaters are used to extend transmissions so that the signal can cover longer distances or be received on the other side of an obstruction. Some types of repeaters broadcast an identical signal, but ...

5. Wireless distribution system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system

   A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. The notable advantage of WDS over other solutions is that it preserves ...

6. Wireless network - Wikipedia

   Wireless network. Wireless icon. A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes. [1] Wireless networking allows homes, telecommunications networks and business installations to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment ...

7. Long-range Wi-Fi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_Wi-Fi

   Long-range Wi-Fi. Long-range Wi-Fi is used for low-cost, unregulated point-to-point computer network connections, as an alternative to other fixed wireless, cellular networks or satellite Internet access. Wi-Fi networks have a range that's limited by the frequency, transmission power, antenna type, the location they're used in, and the ...

8. Wireless access point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point

   Wireless access point. In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) (also just access point (AP)) is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired or wireless connection to a switch or router, but in a wireless router it ...

9. Radio repeater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_repeater

   Radio repeater. A radio repeater is a combination of a radio receiver and a radio transmitter that receives a signal and retransmits it, so that two-way radio signals can cover longer distances. A repeater sited at a high elevation can allow two mobile stations, otherwise out of line-of-sight propagation range of each other, to communicate. [1]
