Range extender or repeater??

[AthlonXP]

Hey guys, going to be setting up my cable modem and Asus RT-N66U router in my basement in the work room/laundry room. My townhouse is 3 stories tall so just in case I wanted to look at my options for a range extender or repeater.

the extender is unit take your network pocket and resend it to your equipment under "new" network name.
So you need some network knowledge to connect to other equipment that connected to router.
If it's problem to you then you can git a REAL repeater then take it.
alot of unit market as repeater is simply an extender!.
