The main router is the first bit, the amplifier is the second bit, the WiFi signal is the relay stick, and the mobile phone, computer and other devices are the end point.The first and second runners carry the baton to the finish line by running back and forth, so that the WiFi signal can be transmitted to a distant destination.The more athletes participate in the relay, the farther the WiFi signal travels.
