Your router has many possible setups and functions.

• If your router is an Access Point connected to your modem, it can be configured as an Access Point,
• Access Point Client,
• Wireless Repeater, and
• Wireless Bridge

The Wireless Repeater mode will “dumb-down” the router, and transform the Access Point into a wireless repeater, thus extending the range of your WiFi signal.

WiFi booster, repeater, and extender are essentially different names for the same thing. These devices usually mount in between your wireless router and the area where you want to increase the WiFi signal. The extender picks up the WiFi signal from your wireless router and regenerates it, increasing the WiFi range. Your wireless devices connect to the WiFi extender, which then communicates with the wireless router.
