Recently I stumbled across the Wifi repeater product category. Those products connect to an existing Wifi network and create a new Wifi network to extend the range of the original one.

Do Wifi repeaters have two internal Wifi interfaces? If not, how does this work from a technical point of view? Has OpenWrt the capabilities for this functionality with a single Wifi interface?

Some example products (in alphabetical order):

• ASUS N300 RP-N14
  

• D-Link DAP-1320
  

• Digitus DN-70181
  

• Huawei  WS320
  

• Linksys RE1000
  

• LogiLink WL0148
  

• Netgear WN1000RP
  

• Netgear WN3000RP
  

• Netgear WN3100RP
  

• TP-LINK TL-WA750RE
  

• TP-LINK TL-WA850RE
  

• TP-LINK TL-WA854RE
  

• ZyXEL WRE2205
