Home network vs repeater network
In repeater mode, there are two Wi-Fi networks:
the existing home network and the repeater net-
work.
The home network is the network that always
starts with the Internet access device (Wi-Fi router).
It is used for data transmission from router to re-
peater and vice versa.

takes place over the repeater network.
