Repeater

/

A repeater actually recreates and broadcasts a new clean signal. Cellular repeaters are rare because to rebroadcast (and not just amplify) a signal requires close cooperation with the carrier. But Wi-Fi range extending systems typically are repeaters.

This contrasts with a booster which amplifies the signal, including any signal noise.
