Beyond features WiFi transmitter default, the TP-Link WiFi Router Modem more features Repeater it mean "Receive WiFi signal from another WiFi transmitter and then play it back”.
This feature is very useful in system design WIFI network indoors, because usually the indoor terrain is often complicated and has many obstacles, leading to the intensity and range of the radios Router greatly affected. The solution to this problem is usually of two kinds.
Solution 1: Buy a long range and powerful router like TL-WR940N or TL-WR1043ND or TL-WR1042ND. But this solution is still not really optimal, because no matter how strong the device and how high the penetration after passing through the thick concrete layer of the 3 4-storey building, it is also weakened at points far from the Router.
Solution 2: Buy one CHEAPouter mid-range like TL-WR841N, TL-WR841ND, can take TL-WR940N As the main WiFi transmitter connected directly to the modem, Then buy weaker Routers like TL-WR740N, or get a strong TL-WR841N, place it in weak or hidden WiFi spots, receive the main Router's WiFi and broadcast back to that area. This solution in total cost is not higher than buying a powerful router and still ensures the same intensity and coverage throughout the building.
