Advantages of Repeater
- Better Performance of Network: Repeaters provide with better performance of network because they do not always depend on processing overheads at the time.
- Cost Effective: Repeaters are more cost effective as compared to other network devices therefore they are cost effective.
- Extends the network: Repeaters provides with an advantage to extend the available network for transmission of data.
- No Physical barriers: Using physical devices can led to some barrier while transmission of signals. With the help of wireless repeaters such issues are resolved.
- Enhanced Signals: When computer devices and routers are connected in a network over long distance it weakens the strength of signals. While using repeaters it improves the strength of signals even over long distances.
Repeaters in Computer Network
A computer network is made up of various devices such as the hub, repeater, modem, switch, computer devices, etc. Each device plays a vital role in networking. Repeaters are used in order to extend the network and provide security, strength, and no data loss. The below article describes in detail a networking device known as a repeater.
