difference between booster and repeater
rickrick said: Booster adds on to the speed on the other hand repeater splits and adds on to the speed. Wrong...a booster adds range to an existing device usually by an upgraded antennae. A repeater is a stand alone device that recieves the signal and then sends it out again (repeats).
A repeater, on the other hand, receives the signal, then repeats it on a different channel. Most of the time, a booster is a better antenna or antennas. This passive approach is best for boosters as the better antenna will increase the gain of both the transmitter and receiver equally.
