Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A Wi-Fi range extender, sometimes called a range expander, is a type of wireless repeater used to expand the reach of a wireless LAN.

Detailed explanation-2: -A wireless repeater is a device that receives a wireless signal and transmits it to extend the signal over longer distances. This can be a very useful tool for homes that are quite large, office spaces, or outdoor areas that need to have extended wireless coverage.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Wi-Fi repeater, extender, or booster is a device that forwards wireless signals from the router to cover a larger area, such as multiple floors of a house. The repeater creates a new network based on signals from the originating network, and the clients that connect to the repeater are thus on a separate network.

Detailed explanation-4: -WiFi repeaters and WiFi extenders both improve your WiFi signal and range, however, they do it in different ways. A WiFi extender connects directly to your router and creates a new WiFi network. A WiFi repeater connects to your network wirelessly and rebroadcasts your existing network signal.
