What’s a WiFi Repeater?

January 19th, 2012

If a user needs to increase the strength or range of their wireless network, a Wifi repeater could be the simplest and most cost effective solution. Wifi repeaters are ideal for users that are having Wifi connectivity problems due to being in a building that has brick walls, has multiple floors that are built out of concrete, or by being at site that is bigger in area than the 1,000 foot square foot range of a typical wireless router.

When a Wifi repeater is installed, it “listens” for any Wifi broadcasts from existing Wifi routers or wireless network devices such as laptops and tablets. Any signal that is picked up by the repeater is then rebroadcast. In order to install a repeater, it simply needs to be to plugged into a power outlet. It can then be logged into by a computer on the network so that any login information and passwords that are required by the existing Wifi network can be set up on the repeater. This essentially creates a wireless network that is a duplicate of the one being broadcast by the original router.

To maximize the range of the repeater, it should be placed at the limit of broadcast range of the original router while still maintaining a quality connection. This will effectively double the effective range of the wireless network. Since users are connecting either to the original router or the repeater, computers will have to disconnect from one and reconnect to the other if they move back and forth between the broadcast range of each device. Wifi repeaters do not have to match the particular brand of the original router, and can be configured to work with many types of network addressing, security and sub-netting setups.
