1. A repeater comprising:
- a first interface which is configured to be connected to a gateway apparatus via a wireless communication protocol and is configured to receive a broadcast signal from the gateway apparatus; and
a second interface which is configured to be connected to a client apparatus via the wireless communication protocol and is configured to transmit the broadcast signal to the client apparatus,wherein the first interface and the second interface use different frequency bands comprising a first frequency band that is an unlicensed frequency band higher than a dynamic frequency selection (DFS) frequency band, and a second frequency band that is an unlicensed frequency band lower than the DFS frequency band,wherein the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the DFS frequency band are within a 5 GHz frequency band defined by the wireless communication protocol,wherein, when the first interface receives the broadcast signal from the gateway apparatus through the first frequency band, the second interface transmits the broadcast signal to the client apparatus through the second frequency band, andwherein, when the first interface receives the broadcast signal from the gateway apparatus through the second frequency band, the second interface transmits the broadcast signal to the client apparatus through the first frequency band.

4. A broadcast transmitting system comprising:
-
a gateway apparatus; and a repeater, wherein the gateway apparatus and the repeater are connected to each other according to a wireless communication protocol, wherein the gateway apparatus transmits a broadcast signal to the repeater via a predetermined frequency band, and the repeater transmits the broadcast signal to a client apparatus via a different frequency band, which is different from the predetermined frequency band, wherein, when the repeater receives the broadcast signal from the gateway apparatus through a first frequency band that is an unlicensed frequency band higher than a dynamic frequency selection (DFS) frequency band, the repeater transmits the broadcast signal to a client apparatus through a second frequency band that is an unlicensed frequency band lower than the DFS frequency band, wherein the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the DFS frequency band are within a 5 GHz frequency band defined by the wireless communication protocol, and wherein, when the repeater receives the broadcast signal from the gateway apparatus through the second frequency band, the repeater transmits the broadcast signal to the client apparatus through the first frequency band. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7)

8. A method for relaying a broadcast signal between a gateway apparatus and a client apparatus, the method comprising:
-
receiving the broadcast signal from the gateway apparatus via a predetermined frequency band; transmitting the broadcast signal to the client apparatus via a different frequency band, which is different from the predetermined frequency band; and wherein, when the broadcast signal is received from the gateway apparatus through a first frequency band that is an unlicensed frequency band higher than a dynamic frequency selection (DFS) frequency band, the transmitting comprises transmitting the broadcast signal to the client apparatus through a second frequency band that is an unlicensed frequency band lower than the DFS frequency band, wherein, when the broadcast signal is received from the gateway apparatus through the second frequency band, the transmitting comprises transmitting the broadcast signal to the client apparatus through the first frequency band, and wherein the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the DFS frequency band are within a 5 GHz frequency band defined by the wireless communication protocol.
