Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can include a signal path that includes a digital filter. The repeater can include a controller. The controller can receive plurality of signals in a multi-channel downlink signal band. The controller can digitize one or more signals in the multi-channel downlink signal band to form a plurality of digitized downlink signals. The controller can use the digital filter to adjust a gain of one or more of the digitized downlink signals based on a channel-specific received signal strength indicator (RSSI) or a network protection requirement.
