Figure 8-1 Access Point as Repeater
You can set up a chain of several repeater access points, but throughput for client
devices at the end of the repeater chain will be quite low. Because each repeater
must receive and then re-transmit each packet on the same channel, throughput is
cut in half for each repeater you add to the chain.
Omni-directional antennas, like the ones that ship with your access point, are best
suited for repeater access points.
