Also called an expander, a
wireless
repeater is a
device used
to increase the effective coverage of your wireless
network. Differing from traditional
access points, the
newer generation of
Wireless-G wireless repeaters
do not need to be directly connected to your network via cables. Instead the
device simply needs to be within range of your main access point and it will
bounce the signals out to your remote wireless devices.
