Abstract

A wireless repeater also called wireless range extender takes an existing signal from a wireless router or wireless access point and rebroadcasts it to create a second network. When two or more hosts have to be connected with one another over the IEEE 802.11 protocol and the distance is too long for a direct connection to be established, a wireless repeater is used to bridge the gap. The Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized minicomputer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting basic computer science in schools. The Raspberry Pi can work to any Linux kernel operating system such as Linux, Raspbian, Debian and vice versa. The methodology used in this project is System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) because all the process involved in this project is similar to SDLC approach. This project is to develop energy efficient Wifi Repeater using Raspberry Pi. To complete this project it involves 2 processes that catch the original wireless signal to act as a Wifi Repeater such as connecting to existing wireless LAN (WLAN) network and broadcasting a new WLAN network. This project used 2 USB dongle to setup and configured this process. The result from this project consists of a product and the result analysis. The product can performs when a Mobile Station (MS) access the wireless connection out of the Aceess Point (AP) coverage be able to connect to the wireless connection using the WiFi Repeater. The signal strength received by MS of the Wifi Repeater will be compare with the conventional AP.
