Wireless communication is the transfer of info. over a distance without the use of electrical conductors or "wires".The distances involved may be short (a few meters as in television remote control) or long (thousands or millions of kilometers for radio communications). When the context is clear, the term is often shortened to "wireless". Wireless communication is generally considered to be a branch of telecommunications.

It won't repeat anything other than the one network it's programmed to. They don't have to be the same brand as the router but that makes getting help easier - then you can call the one company instead of playing ring-around-the-phone to find a tech who'll help you.
Basically, it picks up the wireless network it's programmed to - just like your computer. Then, it re-broadcasts it just like you main router but from a different location. Some support full encryption, others don't so read the box to make sure it supports both WEP and WPA-PSK. The one draw-back is because it has to recieve and then re-transmit everything, it cuts the speed by half...but that's not a problem for most people because internet is still the slowest link in the chain. I have a Belkin WURE (Wireless Universal Range Extender) and it works well with all encryption but the directions were worthless so I had some trouble setting it up.
