1

00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:06,450

Now, before moving ahead with the contention methods, you first need to understand what a wireless



2

00:00:06,450 --> 00:00:09,510

range extender is, what can you guess?



3

00:00:09,540 --> 00:00:12,210

I'll give you five seconds to answer or think.



4

00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:14,180

Think from the name.



5

00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:17,130

What is a wireless range extender?



6

00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:18,450

Yeah.



7

00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:24,550

So if we guessed that this device is used to extend the range of the device, then you're probably right.



8

00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:32,040

In some cases you need the villain to extend further than the technology in use is designed to deliver.



9

00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:35,730

In that case, we can deploy what is called a range extender.



10

00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:44,130

Now these are radios and antennas that operate in the same frequency or channel and receive the signal



11

00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:50,400

as a station word and then transmit it in the direction you desire your clients that are out of the



12

00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,040

reach of the original access point.



13

00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:56,550

For example, as you can see on the screen here, just it.



14

00:00:57,630 --> 00:00:57,990

Yeah.



15

00:00:58,260 --> 00:01:04,770

So you can see in the square this this person is here is use is using an Internet network, but this



16

00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:06,510

guy wants to use the network.



17

00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,430

But the range of this access point is only still here.



18

00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:14,460

It does not extend for that.



19

00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:16,180

The range is here blocking here.



20

00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,990

So what to do now?



21

00:01:18,990 --> 00:01:23,580

They have installed a wireless range extender here.



22

00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:26,020

You can see I've marked it with green color.



23

00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,390

Yes.



24

00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:36,180

So now what this wireless range extender does is captures this frequency and then it's in all the parameter



25

00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:36,880

available.



26

00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:45,580

So now this person here can access the Wi-Fi or the Internet of this room.



27

00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:53,370

So in short, wireless range extenders are basically used to extend the range of the original access



28

00:01:53,370 --> 00:02:00,900

point so that the anyone who's out of range of the original access point can access the Internet without



29

00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:01,620

any issues.



30

00:02:02,810 --> 00:02:06,680

This is all for a range extender in the next lecture.



31

00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:14,090

We'll see what is meant by a convention method and how introduction to to mean convention methods that



32

00:02:14,090 --> 00:02:16,790

you must understand in computer networking.
