WiFi中继器和WiFi扩展器的区别

1. 无线中继器：
WiFi 中继器以无线方式连接到 WiFi 网络并重新广播信号。它就像一个中继系统，它连接到我们的 WiFi 网络并将信号重新广播到我们家/办公室的更大区域，在那里我们连接不良或信号弱。 WiFi 中继器更容易设置和配置，因为它可以放置在家里的任何地方，即使没有有线网络端口。它通常被称为网络中继器。这有助于在信号强度较弱的地方提高无线信号强度。这就是为什么它也被称为 WiFi 信号中继器。

2. WiFi 扩展器：
WiFi 扩展器通过有线连接连接到有线网络，可以是以太网或同轴电缆连接到路由器。但是现在新的 WiFi 扩展器不需要这些了。它有助于扩展家庭/办公网络以覆盖更多区域。一旦设置并连接好，我们就可以根据我们的要求将它移动到我们想要更好的 WiFi 信号的地方。主要是扩大现有 WiFi 的覆盖范围，并在覆盖较差的区域产生更强的信号。这就是为什么它也被称为 WiFi 范围扩展器。

WiFi中继器和WiFi扩展器的区别：

S.No.	WiFi Repeater	WiFi Extender
01	WiFi Repeater re-broadcasts the signal in weaker signal areas means existing signal strength is weak.	WiFi Extender extends the range of existing network coverage area and creates a bigger network coverage area.
02	It is also known as WiFi Signal Repeater.	It is also known as WiFI Range Extender.
03	It boosts the signal of WiFi strength of the existing network in the weaker signal areas without the availability of wired port.	It uses a wired connection port to connect with the existing network for extending the range of your WiFi.
04	WiFi repeater is more cost-effective than a WiFi extender.	WiFi extender is not cost-effective like WiFi repeater.
05	Setup and configuration of WiFi Repeater is quite easy than that of WiFi Extender.	Setup and configuration of Wifi Extender is also easy but not as easy as a WiFi Repeater.
06	By the use of WiFi repeater the Bandwidth may not stays at its full potential as the devices are connected wirelessly.	By the use of WiFi extender the Bandwidth stays at its full potential as the device is connected through wired connection.
07	WiFi repeaters are not more expensive than WiFi extenders.	WiFi extenders are usually more expensive than WiFi repeaters.
08	We should use WiFi repeater when when we need strong and reliable connection from router if there is the router and repeater distance is less and no obstacle comes in between them.	We should use WiFi extender when we need same strong and reliable connection from router.
