Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In computer networks, a repeater is a device that amplifies and regenerates signals as they pass through the network. The primary purpose of a repeater is to extend the distance of a network by increasing the strength and quality of signals over long distances or through dense blocks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Network devices A repeater is a network device used to regenerate a signal. Repeaters regenerate analog or digital signals that are distorted by transmission loss due to attenuation.
Detailed explanation-3: -A repeater regenerates the strength of the signal before transmitting it as without the repeater, the signal strength will deteriorate as the signal is transmitted.
