Homey as a wifi repeater?

Perhaps I've totally missed it but will Homey be able to act as a wifi repeater?

    Thanks @Emile! May I know why this was not included? Seems like a no-brainer, no?

    For a reliable wifi repeater you need two antennas, and Homey has one wifi antenna.

    How is Homey working with an WiFi repeater? E.g. Homey is connected through a repeater and a camera is connected by the origin WiFi. Are there problems to communitate? Because I've got an IP-TV-Reciever that can't be found by his android App because he is connected to the origin wifi.

    @Peao, <br>
    Check if you have wireless seperation (or something simulair) have enabled, or if you block multicast via wifi. 
    Maybe this might fix your problem.

    Your devices should probably be on the same subnet (x.x.x.y range, e.g. 192.168.0.x) to find them automatically. But it really depends on the devices and the routers/repeaters you're using.

    Same subnet, no wireless device separation, has to allow broadcast traffic.
    Could be a lot of things
