Since only one wireless device can transmit at once, wireless transmissions are doubled (router to the repeater and then repeater to the client versus just router to the client), and so: Wireless throughput is reduced by at least 50%. [1] Wireless interference (e.g., with other networks on the same channel) is at least doubled.
Note that the printer itself is not necessary to be wireless. AirPrint is a feature in Apple Inc.'s macOS and iOS operating systems for printing via a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), [5] [6] either directly to AirPrint-compatible printers, or to non-compatible shared printers by way of a computer running Microsoft Windows, Linux, [7] or macOS.
Wi-Fi Direct negotiates the link with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup system that assigns each device a limited wireless access point. The "pairing" of Wi-Fi Direct devices can be set up to require the proximity of a near field communication , a Bluetooth signal, or a button press on one or all the devices.
As of 2013 even inexpensive all-in-one devices support ethernet and/or Wi-Fi connections. In some cases the wireless devices require connection to a host computer by wire (usually USB) to initialize the device, and once initial setup is done, support wireless operations for all the work performed thereafter.
IEEE 802.11ax uses 8x8 MU-MIMO, OFDMA, and 80 MHz channels. Hence, 802.11ax has the ability to form high capacity Wi-Fi ad hoc networks. At 60 GHz, there is another form of Wi-Fi known as WiGi – wireless gigabit. This has the ability to offer up to 7 Gbit/s throughput. Currently, WiGi is targeted to work with 5G cellular networks.

Cellular repeater: This is a radio repeater for boosting cell phone reception in a limited area. The device functions like a small cellular base station , with a directional antenna to receive the signal from the nearest cell tower , an amplifier, and a local antenna to rebroadcast the signal to nearby cell phones.
The HP Envy (stylized in all caps) is a line of consumer-oriented high-end laptops, desktop computers and printers manufactured and sold by HP Inc. since 2009. It originally started as a high-end version of the HP Pavilion line before becoming its own separate line years later.
Continuous ink system in an HP Business Inkjet 1200n. The ink is transported from tanks through the black flexible band, which is vertically rigid so it does not fall into the path of the printhead and cause a jam. Close-up view of the above printer, showing the individual removable printheads and ink tanks for each color.
