Provided is a wireless Internet access repeater which can perform signal transmission and reception between a short-range wireless communication (Wi-Fi) baseband signal and a wide area wireless communication (WiMAX) baseband signal without a Ethernet physical layer protocol (PHY). The wireless Internet access repeater includes a wide area wireless communication module; a short-range wireless communication module; a first media access control (MAC) processing unit and a second MAC processing units, wherein the first MAC processing unit processes transmitted and received data according to a protocol of a MAC layer in a wide area wireless communication module and a second MAC processing unit processes transmitted and received data according to a protocol of a MAC layer in the short-range wireless communication module; a first media independent interface (MII) unit and a second MII unit, wherein the first MII unit interfaces data in the wide area wireless communication module interfaces data transmitted and received between the first and second MAC processing units and is the second MII unit in the short-range wireless communication module interfaces the data transmitted and received between the first and second MAC processing units; and a clock provider to provide a clock to the first and second MII units. |
