difference between Wifi repeater and range extender?

Can some one explain the difference between a "repeater" (AP in repeater
mode) and a "range extender"?

Hi

The Extenders are unites that usually do Repeating only.

When an Access point is set to be a Repeater it is basically similar to an
Extender.

Most Access Points are more elaborate units that can be configured in 3-5
modes which one of them might be a Repeater.

Thanks but I was looking for a bit more technical differentiation.
