Which piece of network equipment extends the cable range and allows connections to be made by increasing the signal strength?
A repeater is a network device that receives a signal, amplifies it to strengthen it, and then retransmits it. This extends the geographical range of a network by overcoming the attenuation (weakening) that signals experience over long cable runs or through wireless transmission. Routers route traffic, switches connect devices, firewalls filter traffic.
