Sorry to ask. Sometimes it's the best way.
What's a repeater?
It's a box that receives packets from one machine, and forwards them to another. Also known as store-and-forward repeater. There's a defacto standard called WDS (Wireless Distribution Something) that lets access points and wireless routers play store and forward repeater. Mesh networks also use store and forward repeaters to move packets toward a wired internet connection.
