range extender
Signal reach enhancer
A range extender is a device that increases the operating distance of another system.
In home networking, a range extender picks up a Wi-Fi signal and rebroadcasts it to cover areas the main router can't reach: We put a range extender in the upstairs hallway.
In electric vehicles, a range extender is a small gasoline engine that charges the battery when it runs low, allowing longer trips without stopping to plug in.
