Negative consequences of using repeaters

Negative consequences of using repeaters

Repeaters help to expand the network coverage area, but have a number of disadvantages:

- Reduced speed - repeaters operate in half-duplex mode, which reduces the data transfer rate.

- Interference - create interference, degrading the signal for other devices.

- Signal delay - increase response time, which is especially noticeable in online games and video calls.

- Limited area - a weak original signal limits the effectiveness of the repeater.

- Security - older models may be vulnerable to attacks.

- Power consumption - require additional power.

Repeaters are convenient, but it is worth considering their limitations and considering alternatives.
