Most networks have limitations upon the number of repeaters that can be deployed. They cannot reduce network traffic or congestion. They cannot differentiate between actual signal and noise. Repeaters cannot connect dissimilar networks. They can connect signals using different types of cables. The only time they need to be investigated is in case of degradation of performance. Repeaters don’t require any processing overhead.

Repeaters are simple to install and can easily extend the length or the coverage area of networks.

Repeaters amplifies the attenuated signal and then retransmits it.

This problem is alleviated by installing repeaters at certain intervals. This poses a limitation upon the length of the LAN or coverage area of cellular networks. When an electrical signal is transmitted via a channel, it gets attenuated depending upon the nature of the channel or the technology. They are incorporated in networks to expand its coverage area.

Repeaters are network devices operating at physical layer of the OSI model that amplify or regenerate an incoming signal before retransmitting it.
