BACKGROUND

A network repeater or a network extender (referred to hereinafter as a network repeater) utilizes beamforming technology to expand coverage. Thus, network repeaters may add network density in terms of coverage, but not in terms of physical infrastructure, especially for the millimeter wave spectrum (e.g., the fifth generation (5G) spectrum). By focusing a wireless signal towards a receiving device, rather than allowing the wireless signal to spread in all directions, the beamforming of a network repeater may create a more direct, and faster connection.
