Most normal access points I've used won't work as wifi repeaters because they can't be in master and managed mode at the same time.

Does a router need two radios to support this dual mode? Or a single radio that supports transeiving? Or a single radio and two antennas? Or is a modified hostapd sufficient?

Basically, is it a hardware or software problem?
