Wireless AP, what is a repeater?
Repeaters are designed to solve this problem. It completes the connection of the physical circuit, amplifies the attenuated signal and remains the same as the original data. In general, both ends of the repeater are connected to the same media, but some repeaters can also do the switching of different media. In theory, the use of repeaters is unlimited, and the network can therefore be indefinitely extended. In fact, this is impossible, because the network standards are specific to the delay range of the signal, the repeater can only work effectively within this set of regulations, otherwise it will cause network failure.
Repeater (RP) is a device that connects network lines and is often used for two-way forwarding of physical signals between two network nodes. The repeater mainly completes the physical layer function, is responsible for transmitting the information by the bit in the physical layer of the two nodes, completes the signal duplication, the adjustment and the enlargement function, thus lengthens the network length. As a result of loss, the signal power transmitted on the line will be gradually attenuated, attenuation to a certain extent will cause signal distortion, and this will lead to a reception error.
Wireless AP is the use of wireless devices (mobile phone and other mobile devices and wireless devices such as notebook computer) access point users access to the wired network, mainly for broadband family, inside the building, inside the campus, inside the park and warehouses, factories and other places need wireless monitoring, typically covering tens of meters to hundreds of meters distance, also can be used for long distance transmission, the distance can reach about 30KM, the main technology for IEEE802.11 series. Most wireless AP also have access point client mode (AP client), which can be wirelessly connected with other AP to extend the coverage of the network.
