Repeater mode requires an existing WiFi connection from a router, access point or other IPmitter.
The IPmitter then connects to the existing WiFi connection and then extends that network via the LAN/WAN RJ45 ports or via WiFi on the repeating IPmitter.
Limitations:- Bandwidth is reduced by 50% as there is data being transmitted between the existing WiFi and the Repeater, then from the repeater to the connecting device. Instead of just a connection between the existing WiFi and the device.
