Abstract
A data router or data switch connected to a medium and having private addresses bounded to a specific subsegment of and address range, and a user-selectable number of data repeaters also connected to the medium in a sequence of overlapping address ranges, in which a data repeater communicates upstream with a prior data repeater (or if it is the first repeater, the data router) and provides a data path to subsequent data repeaters over a different subsegments of that range by address translation, permitting extension of the usable range of the resulting network without the need for data-blocking filters on the medium, and without interference generated by the repeaters.
