A good example of a simple repeater would be a car booster kit for your cell phone.

Repeaters simply collect, boost and rebroadcast wireless signals to make them cover a wider area. A wireless repeater does not make any decisions. A router is an intellegent device which makes decisions on where to forward packets of information to specific machines. Lets remember thatВ a wireless repeater is not the same device as a wireless router. However, most home routers do not have repeaters built into them andВ that is what theВ OP is asking about. Should I not be able to connect the repeater to the 4510?ДЄ wireless repeater will work with the MiFi 4510. Something called a Pepwave Surf should work and simplify your enviornment, skipping the Cascade configuration steps completly. That being said, there is an easier way if you are willing to purchase another device.

Here is a link I like to share about how to cascade routers: In addition you would need to manually switch from one SSID to another as you roam around your house as the routers will not do it for you. You will need to setup your routers to broadcast SSID's like 'Home-Upstairs' and 'Home-Basement'. Also, cascading wireless routers will not share the same SSID. Wireless routers do not talk to each other unless they have a cable inbetween them. Turning a router into an Access Point has the same restriction, they both need a EthernetВ cable. The problem with cascading routers is that you need a Ethernet cable connection to do it (which the MiFi does not have). When one router cascades into another you leverage the same LAN over multiple devices, often giving you more physcial space/coverage for a multi level home. You dont need to be CCNA but you do need to configure your routers to not step on each others toes. What you are asking about is called 'Cascading'.
