Some can, most can't. If you really expect a decent answer, you need to ask a decent question. 
Most of the time when the word "repeater" comes up, it's in regards to switching due to line distance, or wireless due to air distance.
He's correct, you haven't supplied near enough information obviously. That being said, a switch or AP can _sometimes_ be used as a repeater.

You talking wireless or wired?
If wireless...some do support it in their firmware
If wired, yeah, you can uplink the LAN port to a LAN port of your existing router...and basically use it as a switch. Much more cost effective to simply use a switch in the first place though.
