What is Extender setup help?

Extender is used to extend the coverage area of your WiFi network. It works by receiving your existing WiFi signal, amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal.

It's wireless network booster or extender. It costs almost as much as a wireless router.


How would a repeater be used in an Ethernet segment?

Repeaters are usually used in coaxial based ethernet networks. For this purpose they are used to extend the length of a network segment. For example, in a 10base2 ethernet network the maximum length of a segment is 180 meters. A repeater could join two segments together to increase the length of the network and the number of clients in the network. In today's modern networks you will see neither coaxial networks nor repeaters in a LAN. Repeaters are used for DSL transmissions, but not for LANS.


Expanding A Wireless Network With A Bridge?

A standard wireless router can only physically connect to four Ethernet enabled devices through the Ethernet ports. To extend a wireless home network, a bridge is needed. A bridge is a device that will connect devices such as gaming consoles and TVs to the existing wireless internet network that is enabled by a router. Additionally, a bridge will also extend the range of a home network, allowing for better reception to other computers and devices that are already connected to the network through wireless adapters.

How do you find midpoint of a segment?

Take a compass, extend it about 3/4 of the length of the segment. Then from one end of the segment, draw a 180 degree arc. From the other end draw another arc. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. Where the line intersects with the segment is the midpoint of the segment. That is how you bisect a segment to find the midpoint - geometrically.


If a line segment is 8.5 cenimeters long how many cenimeters would you need to extend the line segment to 10 cenimeters?

8.5 + 1.5=10 so 1.5


What is a straight line that does not extend between its two end points?

If you mean a straight line that does not extend BEYOND it's two end points, then that would be a 'line segment.'
