A device for repeating a Wi-Fi signal transmitted by an access point and a system for extending the coverage of the Wi-Fi access point. The device for repeating the Wi-Fi signal is configured to: receive, via a wired connection connected to a device for extending a Wi-Fi access point, a digital signal resulting from the analogue-digital conversion of an analogue signal from a power division of a signal intended to be transmitted by the Wi-Fi access point around a predetermined carrier frequency so as to deliver a first Wi-Fi signal; convert the digital signal received via the wired connection into an analogue signal and transmit the analogue signal around the predetermined carrier frequency, so as to deliver a second Wi-Fi signal substantially identical to the first Wi-Fi signal.

Repeating device and system for extending the coverage of a Wi-Fi access point

This method, which can be implemented by a terminal, includes a step (E, E) of assigning a dummy signal level to a cell defined by an access point of a local area network in such a way as to respect the preference of a user who has elected to give preference, when moving around, to attaching the mobile terminal to a cell of a public cellular network over attaching itself to a cell of a cellular local area network.
