In Mike Meyers Network + (pg. 36), it states that, "A repeater does not function as an amplifier. An amplifier boost signals, flaws and all... A repeater, in contrast, recreates these signals from scratch".
However, in the Sybex Network+ Study Guide (pg. 55), it says that a repeater "amplifies the signals it receives.. ", and "The main downfall of a repeater is that it repeats *everything* it receives on one port, including noise, to other ports". Can someone please tell me which description is correct? Thanks!
