Proxim 7921, 7920 manual Repeating

Repeating

You have the option to enable or disable repeating. When repeating is enabled, the RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter, set as a Master, will repeat any signal coming from one Station and destined for another Station, when the two Stations are both within range of the Master, but not within range of one another.

The advantage of repeating is the ability to double the effective range of the RangeLAN2 network. However, be aware that by enabling the repeating feature, the network throughput will drop by as much as one-half when repeating occurs. When repeating is disabled, the RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter will not repeat the signals of Stations synchronized to it. By default, repeating is disabled.
