A plurality of repeater devices, each of which may enable forwarding extreme high frequency (EHF) communication between EHF-enabled wireless devices, may form a repeater mesh network. One or more routes may be formed within the repeater mesh network to enable forwarding EHF RF signals via the repeater mesh network.
