The repeater/extender simply repeats the signal from the router to create a new network that extends wireless coverage. Note that while Wi-Fi extenders or repeaters are sometimes referred to as Wi-Fi "amplifiers", there is no actual amplification of signal strength involved.



(See Fribruksforskriften).Īny wireless device sold in a country with such laws must be approved in accordance with the local legislation. Local laws in for example Norway clearly specify both what frequencies and which signal transmission strengths are allowed for indoor and outdoor wireless networks. Actually amplifying your router or extender's wireless signal to extend its reach runs the risk of being illegal in many countries.
