A wireless relay is a device designed to receive wireless signals from a source, amplify them, and retransmit them to areas that are out of range or have weak signals. This process allows the device to expand the wireless network's coverage area, providing better signal strength and connectivity to previously underserved zones. Wireless relays are used in a variety of settings, from home networks to large-scale enterprise systems, enabling more reliable communication and broader access to wireless technologies.

    How Does Wireless Relay Work?

    The operation of a wireless relay is relatively straightforward. It acts as an intermediary between the main signal source (such as a Wi-Fi router or access point) and the devices attempting to connect to the network. The relay device picks up the weak or obstructed signal, processes it, and then broadcasts it again, typically at higher power, to reach distant areas that might otherwise experience poor reception.
