Client Mode:

The device is connected to another device via ethernet card and acts as an adapter to send/receive the wireless signal from your wireless network

Repeater Mode:

The device copies and reinforces the existing wireless signal to extend the coverage of the signal. So the network name(SSID) and password don’t change. This mode is especially useful for a large space to eliminate signal-blind corners.
