What else can I help you with?
Which network topology do nodes act as repeaters?
Star Topology, where Hubs can act as repeaters.
Do active hubs always act as repeaters in a network?
yes
Repeaters can extend a network's range by amplifying the signal?
Yes.
Which device boosts the signal but does not segment the network?
Repeaters and Hubs
How do repeaters help networks?
A repeater connects two segments of your network cable. It retimes and regenerates the signals to proper amplitudes and sends them to the other segments. When talking about, Ethernet topology, you are probably talking about using a hub as a repeater. Repeaters require a small amount of time to regenerate the signal. This can cause a propagation delay which can affect network communication when there are several repeaters in a row. Many network architectures limit the number of repeaters that can be used in a row. Repeaters work only at the physical layer of the OSI network model.

On a 10BASE-T network attenuation is addressed through the use of what?
repeaters
What is infrastructure base infrastructure less wireless network?
Infrastructure less wireless network, is a network of mobile nodes without having any central controller.
What devices operate only at the Physical layer of the OSI model?
All network devices have some component that operates at layer 1. Only hubs and repeaters operate entirely at layer 1.
What items are considered part of the physical layer of a network?
Modems Transmission media connectors Repeaters
Which network device regenerates the data signal without segmenting the network?
The network device that regenerates data signals without segmenting the network is a repeater. Repeaters are used to prevent attenuation of signals.
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.
Why VOIP network should not contain any repeaters?
The (any) VoIP network does not require repeaters as the voice signal is not sent using electrical pulses over telephone line. It is converted into data by an ATA (analog telephone adapter) and then sent as data over the internet. Thus, eliminating signal degrading. However a new kind of loss is encountered, packet loss, that is unusual, but can create what is called jitter on the line.
